I honestly think this is a mismatch, but one for Zab Judah. He was blessed with knock out power and ability, but not ambition. Zab lost and nearly got K.O'd by Carlos Baldomir. Joshua Clottey can be half assed but I think he wants to make a statement and steal Margarito's shine...Zab I think just wants to survive and for this reason, I think he can get knocked out again but this time embarassingly early. I got Clottey by K.O after 6 rounds.
Zab will take the early rounds, Clottey will come back in the middle rounds and will give enough to hold out for a decision towards the end.
Decision - Clottey 7/8 rounds to 4/5 rounds for Judah.
clottey's defense is too tight. judah is gonna hit nothing but gloves and zab will probably get frustrated. clottey will win a somewhat close decision.
I think Clottey will knock Judah out late, Judah will win the first 4 rounds like he normally does and then fades, I think he fades worse than Clottey, it'll be pretty close on the scorecards though.
Clottey isnt open for any silly ass uppercut, he keeps his chin low and covered, he's more probable to be lazy and not do much by being lackluster, but he usually doesn't get hurt and guards well as well as hits hard.
Im surprised at all the KO talk regarding this fight. I see it going to a very close decision.
BTW, are they replaying Cotto-Margarito before the fight?
I think the Cotto-Margarito replay is before the Judah-Clottey fight.

Zab wins 3 of the first 4 easily. Then Clottey starts to get to him and beats him up. I got Clottey by KO in 8.
Guess what? Clottey lacks the consistent pressure to break Zab down gradually. He's known to be a bit of an underacheiver in the later rounds.
