Judah actually looked Awful!!!

[-Antonio-]

I guess considering the circumstances, it was impressive no matter what. Zab was really starting to fade though. He had the look of it. Then he landed a perfect counter punch. He could do that against Bradley and Khan maybe. Bradley, he'd have to catch perfect, and Khan he'd have to chase. Doubt he does that.

I don't think he looked awful but not as good as some reports right after the fight made him out to be. His punch output was too low and I thought Mabuza was starting to wear him down a little right when he got caught. Overall I thought it was a pretty good performance though, he just needs to incorporate more offense into his refound defense. That low punch output will get him outworked and his defense, even though better, is not that great and will not be enough to carry him through fights.

Thank you for atleast noticing that Mabuza wasnt a gimme opponent. With his revised temperment he will get outworked in the future too. But what he has thats missing in the division is one punch goodnight power to balance it out. But he does have to work more to beat better guys.

He has a fast hands and ability, a little too negative and waits for his offense to be created for him. I thought he lost but he has talent, its just a matter of how he better utilizes it.

I dont think he can use it correctly. He and Alexander have what I call a routine punching style which make for a lot of bad fights against average guys. Like you said they wait on Gods light to shine on the other guys chin.

That was plenty fair. I do think part of the awe with Zab is the fact that he said he would be different and he actually was, in a positive way. I asked the question because I saw 4 fighters this weekend that I cant see getting much better and the other two were Hatton and Judah.

Zab a couple years ago would have gassed out in 4 rounds. Thats the knock was on him for the longest. And now that he is fighting to conserve his energy for later rounds, haters still hate. Zab is fighting smarter then he used to and is not losing energy or burning it like he use to.

You'd need to have a perfect defense with the low output of Judah's. Agree with the bold, I saw so many opportunities where Judah could have thrown the left uppercut to the body, sort of like Bute. Hopefully he works on countering more often, I still believe in the guy.

Great post man, I see it exactly the same way. He wasn't running out of gass against Mabuza, he was saving his energy.

The most accurate analysis on this thread.

yea maybe awful was too strong a word but he still looks the same old judah.

u cant be serious.. did u really watch the fight? i dont think u did..

i mean to say u werent impressed is one thing, but to say hes the same old judah is just false. he was boxing, moving around and picking his shots. trying to outsmart mabuza and set him up without leaving himself open. if theres anything to critisize its that he was too defensive and didnt let his hands go enough.

thats not the old judah. the old judah went in there throwing every punch in his arsenal trying to decapitate his oponent in the first 4 rounds, then usually gassing out bcuz of it.

to say he didnt impress is one thing, i disagree but hey its your opinion. to say he was the same old judah is wrong, its a false statement opinion has nothing to do with it. maybe its the old judah if u go all the way back to before he fought kostya, then he would also kind of fight like that. but i dont think thats what u meant. that would be a compliment.

I thought he looked ok, he just needed to up his work rate a little but i understand that he was trying to pace himself and work the jab.

There's no such thing as a 9-9 round. LOL. Zab never connected with anything solid until the KO and was running at times which in turn actually saved his energy.

But he was losing badly. The commentators had Judah's **** so deep in there mouths it was ridiculous. Any of the top JWW's would beat Judah IMO.

WTF is wrong with some of you guys and ****s? And moreover you should even be talking since all you do is do the same thing when it comes to Pacquiao.

Apart from that i think you thread was spot on, He won the fight but he wasnt that impressive in the previous rounds, If he want to fight the Bradley and Khan's he need to up his workrate and work on his conditioning.

Judah is Judah,beat him and you get no credit lose too him and 'He's back!',doesnt interest me at all
