RC: Prior to this last fight with Martell, you mentioned that you signed a bout agreement with Spinks, but recently here on **********.com he and his manager Kevin Cunningham made it clear they want Trinidad and didn’t mention you in their future plans, what are your thoughts on that?
ZJ: Regardless of what he might say, we all know that Zab Judah represents a money fight. Spinks is talking about some crazy ****. I don’t know what to say to that…… I tell you one thing, if I was in Cory Spinks shoes and I got hit in the 12th round with that mother ****ing left hand the way I hit him, I wouldn’t want to fight me either.
RC: What are your thoughts on him wanting to face Trinidad?
ZJ: I can’t put him down, he is a likable dude, he has never bad mouth me so I would be stupid if I was like yo **** him, **** that and then see him and be like Cory Wassup? I am not that kind of person, he is a cool dude. Ever since we fought together on cards we have established a relationship with each other and a good respect for each other, but at the same time this is also a business. And the business is for me and Cory Spinks to go in there and do it again, no matter what it takes…..If he is going to go ahead to 154lbs or 160lbs and fight Trinidad, he needs to go ahead and give his titles up so I can go ahead and do my thing. I am here at 147lbs and as a friend, if you are my friend and you know you are not fighting me, then say **** it I am going to give my titles up and you go ahead and get the titles Zab. Now that’s if he is a friend, because that is what you call looking out for a friend
RC: Have you tried speaking to Cory about…
ZJ: Nah, I haven’t. But my thing is this and you can put it out there like...
RC: Well what would you like to tell him?
ZJ: If you are a friend to Zab Judah like you say I am your homey, and you are not going to fight me then let the titles go if you are going to go up to middleweight and fight Trinidad. Go do that, but don’t tie up the belts and say I am not going to fight you. Don’t do that, because that is disrespect right there. Be like yo Zab I am going to fight Trinidad, so now you can go get your shot at my titles..
But don’t tie the tie the belts up and say you are not fighting me, because that just like you saying to me “You can’t eat and I don’t give a ****, you are going to starve and I am the only one eating”
