First off zab judah is my fav fighter of all time besides tyson and floyd is my 4th fav fighter of all time.
needless to say i was looking forward to this fight more than anything since tyson fought lewis.
anyway first off it was a great fight between 2 skilled boxers. floyd clearly won, but he had his toughest fight ever with judah.
judah won 3 of the first 4 rounds. after round 5 it was all floyd with judah maybe winning 2 more rounds at the most after the 5th round.
the point is judah was landing clean on floyd more than anyone ever has, judah hurt mayweather worse than anyone ever has, and he knocked floyd down for the first time in his career even though the ref didnt call it a kd.
zab had some very good moments, but the superior skill of mayweather took over. both guys went to the body well, and floyd went to it better.
as far as the brawl, i think judah unintentionally did the illegal punches, and roger running in the ring was a bad move on his part but i understand where he is coming from.
yoel running in to the ring i can also understand he was worried that roger was gonna attack his son, and he defended him like a good father would. than when leonard ellerbe mayweathers advisor got in and went after yoel, zab looked out for his dad and hit him in the back of the head, then he was getting choked out by mayweather, although i couldnt tell b/c all the people were covering the corner they were in.
the judge that had it 119-109 should be banned forever. zab judah clearly won rounds 1,2, and 4 very big, so to give him only 1 round is insane.
i think a rematch is definitely in order, to clear up the confusion about the brawl, and what would have happened had it not taken place.
floyd claims he would have koed judah, and judah claims roger choking him ran out some energy of his, and he couldnt come on late like he wanted to. both good arguments
another thing going in to the rematch is that zab knows he can take floyds punches, he never once came close to going down, or being stopped and he took a lot of punches from floyd to the head and body.
zab hurt floyd more than floyd hurt zab, zab has got to be more reckless in the rematch. he has to over power him and just be relentless, but not get to wild of course with a brilliant counterpuncher like floyd.
people saying zab lost his focus, and that he gives out after the first part are morons, its because floyd was the better fighter and the adjustments he was able to make that led him to victory, not b/c of anything zab didnt do.
if zab is more aggressive, and throws more he can beat floyd, also if he throws those feints he used in the spinks rematch in floyd or any boxer will not be able to defend that. there is no way to tell which side he is going to punch on even with mayweather near perfect defense.
we all know how zab is in rematches also, check the spinks fight. he will be even more determined to ko mayweather this time, and i think he will.
but one thing that worries me is that floyds hand got hurt early in the fight, so if thats the case what could he have done if it would have held up. all interesting questions that should be answered with a rematch.
**** margarito he doesnt deserve **** at all, hes beaten a bunch of nobodies. hes not going to land anything on floyd, floyd will outbox him all night long and easily pot shot him over and over. zab has more power than floyd and he is the only fighter that can match his speed, we need this rematch and mayweather has already said he is willing to do so.
