More than likely, this means Zab is in good shape and didn't kill himself to get down to 140.

I was thinking the same thing, Zab knows this is his last chance (I know he's had a lot of "last chances" but really after this, where else can he go?). Going down to the lower weights kind of gives him a fresh start - if he does well and dominates in the division. For him not to rehydrate more then he did seems to tell me that, your probably right - he probably didn't have to kill himself to come down in weigh, and he's taking this fight very seriously. I'd really like to know what he weighed BEFORE he went in to training camp.

Eh, Baldomir was getting beat handily by Clottey.

It was a DQ lose and yea a win is a win. But, Clottey was controlling that fight. If that fight would of taken place in the U.S or with a neutral ref then Clottey would have won that fight.

And, you take Clottey name out of there Baldo resume is not all that good at all at the time.

Every time, is the same thing with Judah, "he is more focused this time", "he trained like never before" and all that but it always turns out the same Zab.

Again he could win this fight and look impressive at the same time he could just as easy cuz he is Zab Judah. And, I wouldn't be shocked if he got beat or dominated in this fight. Because, is Zab Judah.

I see where you're coming from (bolded above) JRo. I watched his most rescent interview (here on BS) and came away thinking that he really sounded like he had matured and grown up alot. He just seemed calmer, less boisterous and focused. He didn't trash talk and sounded like he had really learned from his mistakes inside and out of the ring. Now, having watched a few of his older interviews (before he fought Cotto), he says the same thing every time.
But, I still think he looked and sounded a little different though. Maybe I'm naive but he sounded genuine. He even lowered his "you know what I'm sayin" count, and it even looked like he took the diamond teeth out. It will be really interesting to see how Judah ACTS if things get rough in the ring.

"You know what I'm sayin??"
