Mark my word. Zab Judah will fight his best fight since the second Corey Spinks fight. Zab is tremendously motivated for this one. I've gotten word from the Judah training camp that Zab is crisp, fast, and dropping several sparring partners (some of them are well known established fighters)...
So, shout out to Supa Judah!
It's possible if he can land a great shot, like this on him.
Say what you want about it being close, but Judah did beat Matthyse. Some had it for Matthysse, but it was no robbery, and it was a perfectly fine decision, unlike the Alexander one later.
If he can put in a fight like that, very unlikely, it's possible he can win.
However, saying that, I'll take any and all bets for any amount. I've got Garcia. :)
Judah Has a great chance... in the Amir Khan fight I noticed Garcia trying to touch gloves with Khan after being dominated in the seconbd round I think... it seems that Garcias day will come and his confidence effects how he fights as seen in the Morales and Khan fight
I hope Garcias confidence goes before Judah's... I doubt Garcia will land that Left hook on Judah but you can garantee Judahs supa left uppercut is going into Garcias Jaw
Morales has been at 140 for 3 years, and has ONE ko win over Willie in 6-7 fights. I've seen him land his best punch on almost every one of his opponents at this weight, and stun them, but that's it.
Morales does not have KNOCKOUT power, he has good power, enough to keep his opponents respect, but he's not flattening guys at 140.
Agreed, at 140 his power is clearly not the same. The reason why I brought up his power is becuase someone was questioning Garcias chin, since he got hurt againts Morales, and I said, thats nothing to be ashamed about, Morales is not a light puncher, he can still hurt or even KO some guys at that weight. Garcia took Khans and Morales shots well.
Morales has KO power at 140? Based on what? You're not saying much by mentioning Maidana, to me that dude is a C level fighter. So by Morales not being able to beat him pretty much told me where Morales was in his career.
The initial discussion here was about Garcia having a solid chin, I said he took Khans shots and Morales shots, and that they are not light punchers. I still think that Morales had or still has KO power at 140, he isnt hitting as hard as Garcia but he can knock some people out basically he is not pillow fisted at that weight, thats all im saying. You question Garcias chin since he got hurt againts Morales, my point is that Morales can still hit hard at that weight, not with the same power as in the lower weight classes but enough power to hurt and even KO a guy with an avg chin. Maidana might be a C class fighter but his chin isnt. The guy can take a shot, and Morales rocked him.

He is clearly not the same fighter, but power is the last thing to go in boxing. Same Morales that gave Maidana all he could handle..

He has power in the sense he can hurt someone if he catches them with a huge looping hook flush on the chin... I dont know many fighters that can't do that. He doesn't have power in the sense that he's known as a big puncher in the division or he's going to flatten you given one big punch.
Also, Maidana is known for his stamina lapses which also assisted in him getting hurt.
Truth be told, the punch Morales caught Maidana with should of knocked him out if he was truly a big puncher... it a huge looping hook that landed right on his jaw, all he did was stumble.
If Maidana was a fighter with a avg chin.., my point is that Morales has KO power at 140, not the same power he had in the lower weight classes but he has KO power. Maidana takes a mean shot. So for Garcia to be hurt againts Morales is nothing to be ashamed about, im not saying Garcia's chin is granite, but it is solid. That is the point im trying to make here.
He still has power, watch the Maidana fight again, watch the 8th round. Now Maidana has a solid chin, And Morales had him hurt in that round, where Maidana was trying to grab and hold..If thats not power then I dont know what is.

Won't happen, Judah is a shell of his former self.
Garcia will walk him down and TKO him in the 10th
Garcia isn't a pressure fight like Cotto that's not his style and he can't outbox Judah nothing he does gives Judah problems if Judah don't KO him he'll win by UD
That little line would hold true if he was fighting at the same weight where he was known for his power.

I feel the same thing is going to happen as well. Maybe not a KO but I think he is going to be able to tag Garcia enough to hurt him and outbox him. Garcia swings wide with the left hook and if Judah can time him, I think Garcia is going to be in trouble. We know that Garcia's dad is going to pop off at the mouth and possibly write a check that Danny can't cash.
Morales isn't a heavy hitter in 2012-13 at this weight.
He is clearly not the same fighter, but power is the last thing to go in boxing. Same Morales that gave Maidana all he could handle..
Heavy hitter at this age? Nope... He also had a solid chin and look what happened. Take it how you want it but Im not convinced by Garcia's chin. Matthysse will definitely test it and prove one of us wrong.
Of course he is still a heavy hitter, the last thing to go is your power regardless of age, its the same Morales that was rocking Maidana when they fought. Garcia has a solid chin, getting being hurt againts a fighter of Morales caliber even at this age is nothing to be ashamed about, b-hop and Foreman..had KO power past the age of 40..
Yes hurt, but Morales is a heavy hitter..that just shows you he has a solid chin. And Khan is not pillow fisted either

Not so sure about either one. Morales had Garcia hurt in the first fight in case you missed it.
