Zab Judah: Garcia Fought Perfect Against Matthysse

Bill Emes

•Oct 16, 2013

Former two division world champion Zab Judah was impressed by Danny Garcia's twelve round unanimous decision victory over Lucas Matthysse (34-3, 32KOs) on September 14th. Judah won a close twelve round split decision victory over Matthysse in 2010, but then challenged Garcia (27-0, 16KOs) for his WBC/WBA 140-pound titles in April and lost a close twelve round decision. Judah moves back to the welterweight division to face Brooklyn rival Paulie Malignaggi on December 7th at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Former two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7KOs) is close to becoming the last addition to the stable of powerful boxing adviser/manager Al Haymon, who has such fighters as Floyd Mayweather, Adrien Broner, Danny Garcia, Leo Santa Cruz, Chris Arreola, Victor Ortiz, Marcos Maidana, Lucas Matthysse and an army of others. Malignaggi has long been a critic of how Haymon's fighters get a lot more money, the biggest pushes and lucrative television showcases. After getting contacted by Haymon associate Sam Watson, and having some very positive conversations, Malignaggi is poised to bring Haymon on board. While a deal has not been signed, Malignaggi says his discussions with Team Haymon are going in the direction of finalizing a deal.

Trainer Andre Rozier feels WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24KOs) is getting too much hype - based on the boxers that he's beaten since his HBO debut last September. Rozier's fighter, Curtis Stevens (25-3, 18KOs), will face Golovkin on November 2nd at The Theater in New York's Madison Square Garden. Rozier expects a very explosive fight between two big punchers.

Abel Sanchez, the trainer of IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24KOs), doesn't believe any of the statements that are coming from WBO champion Peter Quillin (29-0, 21KOs), who wants to unify the titles with "GGG." According to Sanchez, if Quillin really wants the fight then he needs to have his manager or his promoter contact K2 Promotions, who handle Golovkin. Quillin returns on October 26th against an opponent to be determined in Atlantic City. Golovkin defends against Curtis Stevens on November 2 in New York City.

Abel Sanchez, the trainer of IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24KOs) and several others, is siding with HBO's decision to reject several potential opponents that were presented to face Andre Ward (26-0, 14KOs) on their network. Ward has been inactive since last September's TKO of Chad Dawson. During training camp for an early 2013 return, Ward suffered a shoulder injury which required surgery.

Heavyweight contender Seth Mitchell (26-1, 19KOs) is not paying any attention to the trash talk that is coming from Chris Arreola (35-3, 30KOs).

Middleweight contender Curtis Stevens (25-3, 18KOs) is very confident WBA/IBO champion Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24KOs) will regret his decision to sign their bout agreement for November 2nd at The Theater in Madison Square Garden. Stevens says New York City is coming back strong to take over the entire middleweight division with fighters like WBO champion Peter Quillin and top contender Danny Jacobs. He wants to place himself in a top middleweight position by taking Golovkin out in the fall.
