Hey id like to hear to views on the the Kahn Judah fight.
I love this fight and cant wait for it, I think Kahn is going to win with his skills (and Roach in the cornr)
but with Judah @ 4.75 I just can resist myself from putting a nice few dollars on Judah for the upset.
I think the bookies are seriously underestimating Judah, It will be a very close fight if Judah stays focused and executes a good game plan, under the guidance of new trainer Prnell Whittaker.
I see Kahn being the rangier fighter using distance to keep the dangerous Judah at bay keeping the jab n his face, If he can keep kahn out of his comfort zoneit will make for a great fight.... and if he lands clean, thats it game over!!!!
Thoughts on it????
If Zab can slow the fight to a steady pace his got a great chance. If he lets Khan rush him he's gonna go on the defense n won't risk trowing some meaningful punches. I still like those sneaky punches he trows n khans china chin gives Zab a decent chance.
Well whitaker is in his corner but I just don't see it happening but this is boxing at it's best so you never know.
Despite having Whitaker in his corner and Zab "seeming" more mature lately he showed in the Mabuza fight that he's still prone to meltdowns and losing focus. He flipped his lid and lost his composure when the ref called a knockdown.
A guy like Khan can utterly frustrate and overwhelm Zab, take him out of focus and keep him there, but on the other hand if Zab can keep his focus his new "defensive" approach and trap setting could really trouble Khan. He's still got enough speed and power to cause problems so an upset wouldn't be so upsetting to me.
Alexander arguably lost to Matthyse so Zabs probably better than what he is getting credit for. But I think Khan takes this fight still. I guess some how some ppl might have had Matthyse/Alexander a draw some how but I felt the more effective punches were coming from Matthyse.
The flaw in your logic is that Alexander gets WAY more credit around here than he should. He's a B fighter, on his best night.
I do... i think zab it focused for this fights, is his chance to make a completecomeback from his A days, he was a guy with huge potential and if he is really focused and determined he has a nice chance.
Of course Khan its gonna be favoured thats for sure
HBO has overhyped Zab.
Have you seen his fights against Mabuza and Matthyse? He barely got by Matthyse, and Mabuza had him in trouble. He was dropped by both guys.
Neither of them are world class fighters. Just think about what someone closing in on p4p rankings is going to do to him.
Zab has about as much a chance as a snowball in hell.
If I was interested in betting right now, I wouldn't mind putting "loose money" on Judah. He's at +350 right now. In truth, that's pretty decent. Put 30 bucks on it or so and you're looking at a decent return ($105 or so). If you lose, it's not the biggest deal.
Still, perhaps the sleeper bet is the stoppage bet or even the under bet. The under is 7 1/2 at +135. With the speed and decent power in this fight, that's a decent bet with decent odds. The overall stoppage bet is perhaps the safest. Though, I'm not sure of the odds on that one.
