Marquez v Khan nearly done deal for May 15th HBO

[markb018]

My only worry is now that Khan is a GBP fighter, JMM career is winding down. If they put in a ref that might favor some fast bullshit pitter patter combos they could do a bullshit stoppage. But that is just me speculating and completely unjustified

After the Mayweather Marquez fight, in a magazine over here in the UK called shortlist, it showed Mayweather taking a completely flush shot on the nose from Marquez, perfectly clear. Now if Marquez can land perfectly clear on Mayweather, then I'd say Khan is in deep water for sure but probably his speed will get him out. I'd even go as far as saying that Khan is faster than PBF, just without the chin..... Ha

or the punch or the charm....which is saying something

If its the real Zab, Judah TKO 1, if it doesn't happen then I won't feel bad cause we'd know that it wasn't the real Zab.

I think they think JMM isn't as good coming forward, is old, etc., and Khan's feet will be way too fast, he'll move, turn, never let JMM get set and pitter patter his way to a win. They could be right but it might be a step too far. Zab TKO 1.

I couldn't handle another one of my favorite fighters, losing to Amir Khan. I mean P4P JMM eats Amir Khan alive, but this fight is taking place at 140 right ?

And IMO JMM hasn't really got the body shape, to move up successfully like Manny Pacquiao. And as we've seen vs FMJ he looked slow and fleshy around the midsection.

Freddie Roach is a smart man and i can't see him taking this fight, unless he really believes JMM is past his best, and the weightclass is a big disadvantage.

Plus lets look at the size difference here.

JMM

Height 5'7
Reach 67


Amir Khan

Height 5'10
Reach 71

Im not trying to be an ass here Ouma, but what is the real Zab Judah ? i don't think i've ever seen Zab Judah ever keep it together against an elite opponent for 12 rounds. Maybe against Cory Spinks but he wasn't pressured, in any of those fights.

He means a focused Judah ICB, the same focused Judah who has never lost a fight in which he's been in. A focused Judah, the one who beat Junior Witter and that btch who was trying to cheat him in dice, or the one that forced Jay Nady into submission after his fight with Kostya Tszyu. If you want to know who the real Zab Judah is, just watch that fight. He was clearly unfocused against Kostya Tszyu thus he lost the fight. After regaining his concentration, he unleashed hellfire on Jay Nady. Had Tszyu possessed the cojones to rematch Judah immediately (right after the bout), he would have felt the wrath of the real Zab Judah and things would have been different.

Sorted!

On a serious note I too would be gutted if Marquez lost to this clown...in the past, Khan doesn't even carry his spit-bucket. Right now? and at 140? After the Mayweather beating? I'm not sure he has enough in the tank..Khan will start fast and try to take him out in the first 3-4 rounds..if that fails, he'll do his pitty-pat stuff like he did against Kotelnik..If it goes this route, Marquez has a great chance to catch him late because Khan faded badly towards the end of that fight.

Then again, he's in camp Pacroid now so who knows what they got him on

I hope Marquez pulls it out the bag..he doesn't deserve to lose to Khan

Yes. ICB you can go ahead and take this as my answer, hopefully things work out okay and Zab doesn't revoke your New York pass.
