zab is coming in really light...
i hope it isnt a result of overtraining...more so a result of serious training (maybe he hasnt been having a proper camp in a while)...since this fight is SO important to zab's future in the sport of being a premier boxer he's really getting serious.
if he wins that would be awesome...i will be rooting for him...
if he wins (and this isnt a result of overtraining) i hope he fights the winner of malignaggi/hatton at a catch weight...possibly 143 or 144...
that would be a very exciting fight (in my opinion) no matter if paulie or hatton wins...
zab is 43, he should be fighting at 40. he could still most likely dominate at that weight.
Why is everyone assuming Zab dominates at 140? Just cause the guys are smaller wont give Zab more mental strength, focus or conditioning. And the Hatton that beat Tszyu would probably beat Judah.
This is the lightest Zab has weighed since 2003. Hopefully he didn't overtrain.

judah came in light so he's probably is going to do some dancing tomorrow.
Win or lose, Zab should go back down to 140, that division is WIDE open right now. Hatton is just asking to be knocked the fuck out again, the other title holders are weak, I hope this is a sign to come and Judah can get down to 140 because he would dominate and possibly unify that division.
BTW, Zab is not getting knocked out, Clottey is not a pressure fighter which is Judah's weakness. This will be a close fight, I cant pick a winner.
This is the first fight of Zabs in awhile where people aren't hyping him up saying that the "focused and hungry" zab is gonna show up, so maybe he actually WILL this time. Clottey isn't gonna be pressuring him like baldo or cotto so he probably doesn't have to worry about getting broken down. The weight is a little weird, but we'll see. Zab UD

He'll have to look better in the ring than he did in that picture to convince me of that.
I just got done watching the chico-clottey fight. what a great fight! Clottey weighed 170lbs the day of the fight. I'm sure he was wearing some clothes but shit, 170lbs? Zab is in trouble! Clottey impresses me and I think he will impress everyone Saturday night. Clottey is going to put Zab down.
Zab needs to go down and fight Hatton. Let the men fight for the w.w. belt.
We'll have to see how strong Judah looks at 143 Saturday. Going down in weight is tougher than going up. We also know Hatton can keep throwing for 12 rounds.
Zab wont have to keep goin for 12. He could probably take him out in less.
Why do I feeel that Judah-malignaggi or Judah-Hatton are bigger fights than Clottey?
Those are bigger fights than Clottey, he could actually be the man at 140 if he was fighting there.
The only guy who can beat Judah a beating is Hattin but Hatton is chinny and Judah is a power puncher at 140

Probably because Clottey has zero drawing power anywhere while Paulie can draw on the East coast and Hatton is huge in the UK and known all over the world.
