I'll believe this when there's a contract signed.
I dont blame you. Going by Zabs twitter it looks a done deal, he has been praising the lord all morning(GMT) about getting this fight and saying he's already WBA champ.
If this was a few years ago, i woulda written off Judah right off the bat. But considering that he seems to have things back in order with the new trainer and all this is a very interesting fight. Judah has the power and speed to hurt any JWW anyday of the week, so if Khan gets lazy it could be bad. With that being said, I still expect Khan to come out of this with a convincing win.
Man I hope this is true. This fight will be great. Props to Khan for taking on Zab. I'm picking Zab in this one. No matter how many times he's disappointed I still root for the guy. I got 20 mil on Zab, who wants it!?
Yes!!!! I was wanting this fight, don't care if it is PPV. I'm a Judah fan and will admit he has got alot of chances but he is a very good fighter and in this instance with his wins and Bradley's refusal to do anything other than run his mouth blatantly butt and marinate. Judah was the best possible choice for the fans. Khan got some respect from me with this one.
If Bradley still bull****tin after this and Alexander win his fight, winner faces Alexander. Which I would love to be Judah Vs Alexander here in St.Louis...will blow the roof off that *****, Judah has mad respect here for the beat down he gave Spinks.
If Khan makes 6 rounds, then Zab's getting stopped. Anytime before the 6th Zab could land his special uppercut and it will be lights out for Khan.
Whatever happens, i gotta give props to Khan for taking the toughest fights at 140, the man wants to be King.
WARRRRRRRRRRRR KHAN!
Judah can get his punches in down the middle, and Khan squares up too much. I love this fight, stylistically it's gonna be a very good one. I like them both but I'm rooting for Judah!
This is the best fight at 140 IMO. I mean as in the best action fight one can make with the best 140lbers in the world. Khan-Bradley will most likely be dud because neither have power and neither could really dominate the other with speed in my mind.
This fight is gonna be mothafukkin explosive! I could see this being a great fight. Judah has the power to make Khan respect him and light him up! Judah could easily KO him if he lands. Gonna be a great fight I'm pumped! WAR JUDAH!!!
^^^^ i second this.
Very dangerous fight for Khan.
If he boxes with ring smarts and doesn't get caught with anything big for the first 5-7 rounds then I fancy his chances in this one. Zab always fades late, so Khan doesn't need to do anything too special too early. He should just sit back, box off his jab, and not get too close. After the mid-point he can think about throwing more combinations and begin to break Judah down both physically and mentally. If it wasn't for Zab's power and accuracy, I would consider Khan the big favourite, but you can't take those traits away from him, therefore it's a 50-50 fight. However, the longer the fight goes, the shorter the odds are in Khan's favour.
Can't wait. Only 8 weeks away.
I give props to Khan for taking these tough fights. Getting KTFO was probably a good thing for his career... no more "0" to protect and he's letting it all hang out.
Maidana and now Judah are no joke, especially with his questionable chin. Starting to gain some respect for this guy.
I dont care that Judah is "old", he is still fast and very dangerous early on and will have the power and angles to connect on Khans chin unless Khan pulls off a master class of running and jabbing. Khan eats uppercuts and Judah serves them with awesome power....should be a good opening 6 rounds that's for sure
