FNF 7/16/10 - Judah vs. Santa Cruz

[killersheep]

Well here we go FNF in Newark, New Jersey. The main event should be interesting, while Judah is the favorite here, I feel that he is going to have a hard time in the late goings against the rugged Santa Cruz.
I think the story at the end of the night will be that Judah STILL should be fighting at light welter. On the undercard local Newarkian Alex Perez will be showcased against Edvan "Close but no cigar" dos Santos Barros. If one of the cards ends up getting stopped we may also see former US olympian Sadam Ali against no-hoper Julius Edmunds.

Combine this with the Showtime card and we should have a pretty entertaining night of fights.

Zab Judah on FNF lol what a novel idea...is this guy even a gatekeeper anymore? And why he isn't at 140 especially at this point in his....uhhh..career is beyond me. Pow bang bang boom sayd Noel

Should be an interesting fight. I don't think I've ever seen Santa Cruz, he's the guy who got robbed against Casamayor, right?

You are correct. He's a tall lanky guy, so Judah's uppercut could look spectacular against him in the early rounds, he's pretty rugged and a pretty decent boxer but he can get rocked. It's actually a very good challenge for Judah at this point in his career.

Not much to discuss or predict here. Judah is both the great and crap during each of his fights. Since no one can predict what's in this guys head you really have no way to know what the hell is going to happen. Santa cruz beat casa so he's more than capable of beating judah. And that's what's sad, really anyone is capable of beating judah, and if not just sit around and let him beat himself. No prediction from me but i wouldn't be surprised to see judah loose.......again.

Furthermore, Santa Cruz has a pretty high work rate typically, so we get to see if Judah can handle the volume. I can't remember off the top of my head Judah ever facing a high volume opponent.

Down goes Judah...and the crowd goes wild.Well let's hope.Good for him taking on a decent opponent though.

He's going to avenge Edner Cherry who got robbed against Santa Cruz.

Professional commentator BJ Flores in studio ....so the deadline was a farce haha.Basically Floyd can come back anytime

[Mar]

...some decent fights tonight. What the heck...as much as i'd hate too see how it would go to his head, i'd like to see judah win impressive for old times sake. I heard that kid ali has a nice gym he opened up back east.

[killersheep]

Fun fact Flores hasn't fought in 11 months now.

[killersheep]

So we get to watch Edvan get beat up and lose his nerve again eh?
