great

anxious to see if judah still has enough in the tank to win another title

wonder if this will be on espn.

Best of luck to Mabuza. I hope he carves out a name for African boxing with this belt. Its very likely Judah will win this with some style but I'm backing Mabuza, whose punches look pretty heavy.

In terms of how this effects 140: it all depends on what happens on Jan 29th. If Bradley wins it will be Khan vs Bradley in the UK. If Alexander wins it may well be Khan vs JMM in the UK and then Alexander in the US preceded by the winner of this fighting Devon.

Khan could always fight the winner of this at some point to add some alphabelts and unify some more. and if Bradley wins Khan could chase the WBC belt and see where that goes.

I thought Zab Judah was supposed to fight Amir Khan. I guess he thought better of it, if he can win the IBF belt, then he can command more money for a unification fight with Khan...

Should be an exciting fight!! Can't wait to see if Zab can make it past the 6th.

So it's very unlikely that Judah will fight Khan in April now.

Zab should be in a immediate rematch with Matthysse not fighting for a title.

Golden boy considered Judah too risky because he can punch,they want Peterson instead
