Judah Turns Down Berto Fight

[Spray_resistant]

Its a wasted opportunity for Zab as he could pick up a strap because we don't know if Berto is really that good yet.

It would be a risk for Zab but his reward would have been another chance at relevance on the world class stage.

• There are some out there who are gullible enough (or just dumb enough) to believe the gibberish being bandied about in cyberspace that HBO concocted a plan under which it agreed to televise the Marcos Maidana-Victor Cayo fight as long as the winner didn't press his mandatory with junior welterweight titlist Khan for the rest of the year. Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous in your life? Now, Golden Boy -- with the OK from Khan and interim titlist Maidana -- has a plan under which both men will fight a couple of times to help build the commercial value of their potential fight. That's boxing business as usual. I have no real complaint about that, other than that if they're going to avoid the mandatory fight, the one unwilling to make it immediately ought to be stripped of his piece of the title. But since the reprehensible WBA is not pressing the issue -- shocking, right? -- it is what it is. But to think HBO orchestrated a deal to prevent the fight from happening this year just goes to show you how little some people actually understand the business.

lol the cheap shot at boxingscene.

judah's done at WW. he can't compete with all the elite there. he'd rather be a big fish in a small pond. but at least judah will fight jr WWs at 140, unlike berto who fights jr WWs at 147 lbs.

If I was his manager or promoter, I'd have done the same.

Clottey couldn't miss with his right hand, Berto would zero in on Judah's face pretty consistently with it. Judah weighed in at 143 for that fight too.

And I think Berto is tough enough and has enough heart to withstand Judah's sporadic barrages and counters. Still, I don't see any titlist Zab can beat at 140 either.
