Bill Emes catches up with WBC/WBA junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia to discuss his upcoming fight with Zab Judah.

Bill Emes catches up with Zab Judah to discuss why he crashed the media event in Flatbusg, Brooklyn for Danny Garcia and his team.

Bill Emes caught the drama as Zab Judah and Angel Garcia, the father/trainer of WBC/WBA 140-pound champion Danny Garcia, were one again involved in a near brawl. Zab and his crew crashed a media event being held with Team Garcia at Modell's Sporting Goods store in Flatbush, Brooklyn. This Saturday Garcia and Judah will settle things in the ring at Barclays Center. Showtime will televise.

All Danny Garcia has done is go 25-0 with 16 knockouts. The super lightweight champion from Philadelphia has beaten the likes of Nate Campbell and Kendall Holt and Amir Khan. The fourth-round TKO of Khan in July 2012 really seemed to show that Garcia - a Golden Boy boxer - is a fighter really on the rise. Still, he's not yet getting the attention of an elite fighter. Schaefer said that will come. "He is one of the guys it doesn't matter who you put him in with, he delivers," Schaefer said. "There was a basketball player (Karl Malone) they called "The Mailman.' Maybe Danny Garcia's name should be 'The Mailman' because every time you put him in, he delivers and he does it in spectacular fashion.

Zab Judah has every good reason to head into the 19th world title fight of his long and storied career confident he can dethrone rising star Danny Garcia and win back the unified light-welterweight title at the age of 35. Judah looked a fading force when he was stopped in the fifth round by Amir Khan in July 2011, but bounced back in March last year with a stunning stoppage win over previously unbeaten Vernon Paris. And now Judah heads into his challenge to 140lb king Garcia - best known for conquering Khan in July last year - having been convinced by Bernard Hopkins' recent exploits that age is just a number. Hopkins - 13 years' Judah's senior - recently made history by claiming the IBF version of the world light-heavyweight title over Tavoris Cloud at the age of 48, and the fast-talking Judah believes he too is on the verge of scoring a notable success for the sport's old guard. Judah said: "I respect Danny as a champion and he has youth on his side. But the old man [Hopkins] showed you what to do, and that's to go in and annihilate these young boys.

LOS ANGELES - With the Super Welterweight World Championship Unification fight between Canelo Alvarez and Austin Trout coming up this weekend on Saturday, April 20 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, followed by the Unified Super Lightweight World Championship between Danny Garcia and Zab Judah at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, April 27 and the culmination of the back-to-back-to-back championship fight weekends, "MAY DAY: Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero" on Saturday, May 4 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, predictions are swirling around on the internet, in newspapers and on television from boxing scribes and fans doing their best to make their calls on what will happen in the upcoming fights.

BoxingScene.com's audio show, Boxing Scene Radio , returns with another packed show. The show is hosted by BoxingScene correspondants Ernest Gabion, Luis Sandoval and Ryan Burton.

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya has no issue matching WBA/WBC junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia against his mandatory challenger Lucas Matthysse. Golden Boy has a plan for an internal junior welterweight tournament. On April 27th, Garcia will defend his titles against former champion Zab Judah at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The winner of the match is reportedly going to face the winner of the May 18th battle between Matthysse and IBF champion Lamont Peterson. De La Hoya says matching the two winners is still the plan for 2013, and he doesn't have a problem making a Garcia-Matthysse match if both fighters win in the coming weeks. The overall winner between the two fights is going to face Amir Khan, who also returns on April 27th but in Sheffield against Julio Diaz.

Danny Garcia and Amir Khan will share a Showtime telecast April 27. If Garcia gets by Zab Judah at Barclays Center and Khan overcomes huge underdog Julio Diaz in a fight that’ll be broadcast on delay after the live telecast of Garcia-Judah, there is a strong possibility a Garcia-Khan rematch will be scheduled for later this year. Garcia doesn’t think it’s necessary because he won their first fight definitively, but the undefeated Philadelphia fighter is willing to face the popular British boxer again. “I really don’t understand why people want to see me fight him again,” Garcia told BoxingScene.com. “It wasn’t even a close fight. I knocked him out in four rounds. But this time, I’m more seasoned, I’m stronger, I’m a lot faster. I feel like the second time around it’s going to be the same outcome. But if he wants to do it, I’m down for it.”
