Yoel Judah, Zab's father and trainer informed BTalk that Zab Judah will be fighting Randall Bailey, possibly for the vacant IBF junior welterweight title if current titlist Juan Urango vacates it. Judah informed BTalk of this after the Dawson-Tarver II fight and said Juadah-Bailey would take place on the Mayweather-Marquez undercard at the MGM Grand Garden Arena July 18th in Las Vegas.
Bring on Bailey, and then Witter. It's time to rejuvenate the Superman's career, baby!!!
Superman? Supermediocre more like. Zab Judah sucks and his time was over years ago. only reason he's still around its because hes a fun guy to watch lose everytime
Even though I view Zab as wholly undeservin for a title shot, I would rather see him fight a solid and dangerous opponent like Bailey then some joe chump opponent if I'm gonna pay for this pay-perview card. I can't complain. Good fight.
I am taking Randall Bailey
* Zab has not fought at this weight in 5 and a Half years
* Zab looked horrible in his last fight vs the lowly Ernest Johnson and was effectively stopped by Clottey before that when he bailed out of the fight
*Zab's last win against a high level opponent was 4 and a half years ago (Cory Spinks, who, had beaten him previously)
* Zab may already be past it somewhat, physically, going down in weight won't help
*There were some anomalies in the Cotto / Bailey fight so it isn't fair to say Bailey was "blown out" in this fight.
*The Ngoudjo fight could have easily been scored a Win for Bailey.
*In Bailey's last fight he torched Figueroa
*Bailey, like Tszyu, has massive one punch power.
*Judah never gets up for smaller fights. SD win Corley, SD win Pineda, Not even when they are important: SD loss Baldomir
*The Judah that fought Micky Ward 11 years ago and baffled Witter 9 years ago was an undefeated confident youthful up and comer. A different guy.
*Everyone knows Judah is a front runner and Bailey can adjust his fight plan accordingly.
*Judah took a real beating vs Cotto and hasn't performed well since.
*Bailey hasn't had a definitive loss since 'Cotto 4 and a half years ago.
*Once Bailey makes contact it is possible Judah will either start fouling or running or both.

if bailey can get past the first 4 rounds....
Ortiz will be his mandatory i think and thats a DANGEROUS fight for Amir!
Wow and there's no doubt he would take that fight if he gets passed Maidana at the pace his career is going. So Judah-Ortiz is a possibility for late 09. 140 is looking good right now.
This could also setup a good fight w/ Campbell, Bradley, Khan, Ortiz if they win next month.
Yea to get Zab in the 140 pound mix, this fight works well. Not to mention it is a good spot for Bailey, who is a pretty underrated fighter.

I thin Zab is gonna make Bailey look real slow in there but Randall is good at timeing a guy with the right, shit this is gonna be good!
I agree, will be nice to get a somewhat interesting fight on a PPV card that is not the main event (one where there is a good chance to be a nice knockout).
Very possible outcome. For as big as Bailey is, he was still knocked down by Gato. Hard to pick this fight both have the power to KO each other and neither have granite chins.

Hmmm nice fight, Baileys Right hand could take Zab out just like Zoos did
But Zab is still oh so quick and could take Bailey out too, im picking Zab

How? Guzman turned down this fight and he can possibly get a title shot. Bailey is no joke a huge JWW w/ power ask Gato
It is a PPV undercard fight, atleast he is fighting someone with a pulse that can punch. If Zab wants to get in the mix at 140 beating someone like Baily would be very good for his career.
bailey? I think judah coulda did better.
