How Can Zab Judah beat Clottey?

[DrewWoodside]

Can someone explain this to me? I put 20 bucks on Judah b/c I want to see him win a big fight and I want to root for my money as well as the guy but in truth I can't figure out how Zab can win. I can't see him knocking out Clottey in the early rounds b/c Clottey has those large forearms that he uses as earmuffs to block his face and body.. and I can't see Zab fighting 12 consistent rounds and winning a decision. Anyone have any thoughts? I'd like to have a clue how Zab can win so I can root for it.

Zab knows this could well be his last chance, so he is focused. Hopefully he stays that way. Zab had fatastic skills, uses his upperbody very well to avoid shots and has great handspeed and power. He could hurt or sting Clottey early using his speed which could make Clottey think more about driving forward as often. That good enough for you?

[Silencers]

Speed is his key against Clottey, he should throw his combinations then move away before Clottey can counter him, work Clottey's body to slow him down, Clottey also fades in the later rounds but I don't think that will be a big help for Judah because he fades as well, he probably fades worse than Clottey does, he also has to be careful not to get too wild and use his jab to set up his shots.

But I don't think he can do all that for more than 5 or 6 rounds at most.

keep Clottey's feet moving. Not necessarily saying to run but if he keeps Clottey turning and resetting he can slow down Cottey's output. Keep the jab in Clottey's face, not engage in too many toe to toe engages, pace himself for a full fight and keep his head

basically everything Zab does NOT do

He just needs to be mentally there. If he's focused, he'll beat him.

As everyone said, speed could be a key, but Judah gets careless and Clottey is a good counter puncher. They both fade, but Clottey usually fades more depending on how much his opponent throws, where as Zab fades no matter what. I can see them both clinching a lot if the fight goes past the sixth or seventh.

Lots of movement and pot shotting. If he stands and trades he will be countered.

Personally I don't think he can. Clottey's defense is one of the best in the game and I see him punching in between Judahs punches all night. IMO he's going to give Judah a good beating, don't get me wrong I want to see Zab do good in the fight and redeem himself but he is too inconsistent...Clottey is consistent as they come and he never strays away from his gameplan so I'm going with Clottey by late knockout.
