Comments Thread For: Holt Ready To Replace Judah, Wants Testing For Peterson

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Zab Judah’s loss is Kendall Holt’s gain.

Judah allowed an IBF deadline to pass Monday, which allowed representatives for Lamont Peterson, the sanctioning organization’s junior welterweight title-holder, to begin planning negotiations with representatives Kendall Holt, the IBF’s next available contender.

Judah decided to forgo an opportunity to challenge Peterson because he is considered the front-runner to become Danny Garcia’s opponent for Garcia’s next WBC super lightweight title defense at Barclays Center in Judah’s native Brooklyn. Judah sat ringside Saturday night as Philadelphia’s Garcia annihilated Mexican legend Erik Morales in the main event of the inaugural boxing card at Barclays Center. [Click Here To Read More]

I like Judah as a fighter. Head case, maybe, but usually a blast to watch. How the hell does he keep getting a shot at a belt?

The Racket Squad: Zab's Last Stand

Garcia/Judah in Brooklyn is an obvious local delight.
But TV screens will fade to KO as Judah will be incapable of dealing with the younger man's power and new found confidence.

No doubt, Garcia pummels Judah bad. After retiring poor Morales, he is on a high.

Garcia's 2 much 4 Zab, no matter where they box...

Judah is too small for Danny..

One thing I don't get about Holt, he's won several fights big at Welterweight

yet that improves his standing at 140? how? The Tim Coleman win referenced in the article was a fight at welterweight.

Judah has more in the tank then a former 126 pounder at 140.

This is true, but it doesn't change the fact that he lacks real confidence all the way through a lot of his fights. Garcia has improved confidence because this win was so much better than last time (and cause he starched Khan). THis, +size, +youth and a good left hook against slowing south paw Judah....equals a retirement call for Zab.
