Zab Judah, still highly active

2007-11-17 Ryan Davis 20 (8) - 6 (1) - 2 Casablanca Casino, Providenciales, Turks And Caicos Islands 12 ^According to boxrec, he fights for the IBC light MW title on November 17th. I'll give it to the kid, he has a lot of drive, no matter how down and out people see him to be. He still believes in himself, and that is what makes others still believe in him, even if ever so slightly. I just really don't understand this jump to 154. He already has a problem being bullied around, ala Baldy and Cotto, and even struggled a tiny bit against the bigger Edwin Vasquez. I always saw his most natural weight at 140, given his frame and height. His power will also be diluted so I really hope that he's practicing on his discipline and ring generalship, since his talent is a given..

I'd love to see Judah Vs. Malignaggi with paulie floatin like a butterfly and stinging like a butterfly. Judah could load up and give him another whoopin. Hahahahahaha! I like that..:)

Who is Ryan Davis? Why doesn't Judah try get a re-match with Junior Witter now he is the 140 WBC champ? Good call... I am starting to think that 140 isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Witter is good. Hatton is good (if he goes back down there). Malignaggi is really good. Harris isn't terrible. Judah would be well served to lord over that division (if he can beat Ricky Hatton and Malignaggi).

not if he doesnt let his hands go, something we kan never understand let alone his own father, who is in the corner with him (i just rewatched judah/cotto) judah got bak to the corner, yoel screams "ZAB WHY U DONT LET UR HANDS GO?" its not like cotto wuz fucking winky wright or floyd mayweather,he could even see every punch cotto threw at him Not letting the hands go is the first sign of a shot fighter.

zab is doing this for rounds, after this id expect another c or d level guy before he steps it up a bit. zab still has business at 147, including a rematch with carlos baldomir.

My thoughts too. Lord, he needs to make 140, he could be a beast down there again. not if he doesnt let his hands go, something we kan never understand let alone his own father, who is in the corner with him (i just rewatched judah/cotto) judah got bak to the corner, yoel screams "ZAB WHY U DONT LET UR HANDS GO?" its not like cotto wuz fucking winky wright or floyd mayweather,he could even see every punch cotto threw at him

If he thinks he can do something at 154, he should just retire. If he can still make 140, that's where he should truly be. My thoughts too. Lord, he needs to make 140, he could be a beast down there again.

Yeah the fight is correct. ESPN's Dan Rafael says its a one shot deal at 154 for Judah. He doesn't plan to stay there. ^^Well thank goodness for him, because I like Judah and still have a lot of faith in his potential, but I think he'd get killed up there if he stayed. The only fight I'd like to see him in at that weight is a rubber match with Cory Spinks..
