Amir Khan vs. Zab Judah fight thread - for July 23rd

[OumaFan]

I'm still not totally sold on Khan - when Maidana finally realized that throwing a looping right hand against a guy moving to his left might work he almost stopped him - but he's a handful because of his athletic ability. And he's just going to get better technically under Roach. Bradley could certainly beat him but he'll have a field day against the rest of the guys in the division.

I think Alexander or Mathssye would be the biggest threats to Khan at 140, though I don't think either beats him.

Aside from his determination, I don't see anything in Bradley that would trouble Khan - he's not exceptionally fast, he doesn't hit hard, and he has leaky defense. Khan would walk him into punches all night.

Eh, I think Alexander has reached the highest levels he'll reach. Khan would have nothing to worry about against him.

I agree that style wise Bradley could have some problems with Khan because he doesn't have big power but he wouldn't put in a non-effort like Judah did and like Devon would and I don't think he has leaky defense. I would pick Khan over Bradley but some guys Khan would have trouble with (Maidana, Matthyssee) Bradley would school horribly. He's a more complete fighter IMO.

Bradley's well-rounded, but I don't think he has the tools to trouble Khan.

Alexander is a fast boxer who I think could match Khan's handspeed and hit him with shots he doesn't see coming. While he would rightfully be a huge dog, Matthysse, from what I've seen, has the type of timing and power that could beat Khan.

I don't think anyone at 140 beats Khan though. He's only going to get better.

I think Khan is clearly faster than Alexander, and Devon doesn't have his heart in the sport IMO (at the least he doesn't have the same kind of determination that Bradley does).

The big problem with Bradley against Khan is his lack of power. I think he's the better fighter but the styles match up well for Khan and I'd pick him at this point.

Zab looked like garbage. Khan looked sharp but he needs to watch the damn headbutts.

I expect Khan to move of the hypothetical (proverbial, ha!) P4P list.

don't you say that, don't you fucking well say that - I swear I will ban anyone here who puts him on a p4p list!

Even McCullough says zab quit!

I think you could make an argument in favor of him being in the top 10.

I don't know if I'd put him on my list, but is incredibly skilled.

He just sent me a PM saying that again. Ban him

I wouldn't read to much into Khan's performance tonight, this was after all, Zab "I've never beaten an elite level fighter" Judah.

G'night all, too bad we didn't get to see a better fight.

[#1FightFan]

Why do they keep saying Zab was the best opponent of Khans career. I think that was Maidana.

thats exactly what i thought!!!! maidana was a monster compared to zab.
i was like "whaaaaaatttttt?" lol

How do you get wider shoulders?

Wide Shoulders are begotten, not got

What a waste of £15 that was. Credit to Khan he did his job he to good in every department, the ko shot was on the low side but it wasnt as bad as Judah made out. Judah looked in great shape but didnt turn up to fight and wanted away out of the fight.

Not looking forward to a Khan - Morales fight if it happens.Khan is to big and fast for him although Morales would at least make a fight of it, Khan stops Morales in 7 my prediction.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Oh Gawd not another one!

You wanted a right uppercut right?

What's that belt Khan has on his shoulder, it looks like the Ring belt but that fight can't possibly be for that?

Aha! It would appear to be the WBA Super belt, I didn't know it looked like that!?

I suppose they had to tart the pointless trinket up a little.

Guys, I haven't read this thread, but what is the consensus on the winning punch? I don't care where his belt was, that punch clearly hit him on the stomach - great refereeing!!

I don't believe the punch touched one of Zab's tiny little gonads, it landed on his right side and caught mostly stomach, hip, abdomen, but no cojones.
No controversy at all, Zab was looking for a way out, like he does when things aren't going his way, and he quit like the little bitch/douche he is, plain and simple.

Khan, dominated every round, did what he needed to do in this fight, and won fair and square, good job by him.

Agreed. I've been critical of Khan - well mainly of his defense and chin, but he is winning me over. His hand speed is awesome and he is starting to correct all his weaknesses. If his chin holds up, now he is moving up weights and is more comfortable it could be very interesting to see what he achieves.

some gentlemen are quite sensitive round that area of stomach, cojones getting tickled or not.
