    I cannot agree with the bold. The fight was razor thin & could have gone either way.JC was more active, but he didn't dominate in the slightest. Jc outworked B-Hop, throwing more & missing more, but he did not dominate that fight.

        this is the punch that completely changed that fight, 4th Round with 0:54 seconds left... at the 9:30 mark



        it was a fake lead right followed by a quick left hook to the body, it was so quick that the announcers didn't even catch it, but you can see from Judah's reaction that it was a punch that made him VERY UNCOMFORTABLE! After he felt that...HE FOLDED!

          Only thing Ill give Judah is he gave Floyd his toughest 4 rounds in recent years as far as landing crisp shots. Zab's speed was pretty effective early on.

            LOL EXACTLY, IF YOU TAKE JUDAH AND PUT HIM IN TAHT RING BY HIMSELF HE WOULDNT FADE RIGHT??

            I had to always explain this during football season, you would have a team that would choke under pressure, and as sure as **** stinks you would have one fanboy talking about they nearly won the game and that the defense of the other team is extremely poor.

            I then ask, well would your wide receiver had dropped that ball if no one was covering him??

            Its easy as 1,2,3!!!! Getting hit in the body causes you to lose steam, how in the hell do you lose steam when you should be training for 12 rounds and not x4??

            AS FLOYD STATED JUDAH JUST WAS NOT DISCIPLINED.

            NO ONE WOULD TIRE OUT LIKE THEY DO IF THEY WERE IN THE RING BY THEMSELVES SO BY DEFAULT IT HAS TO BE THE OPPOSITION....

              For example if Hopkins didn't run out of gas against calzaghe in the late rounds due to him being old, he probably would have won on the judges scorecards.

              Judah always fades late even in his prime so you're right about him.
              joes workrate wore him down....i dont see him fading in any other fights
