Judah setting himself up to lose

I think Judah will be fine. I am sure he knows that everyone is expecting him to choke somehow, and that probably motivates him not to choke.

Since the beginning, Judah has been known to **** up when he has the world in his hands. He's a lot like Rahman in that way. So even if he does beat Mayweather, Judah will lose his next big fight. I pray I'm wrong, but I know my fighters. He better train harder than ever before for these next two fights. If he comes out with a big win on the 7th, he could put a little fear in Mayweather come April. If he beats Mayweather, well...the world, chico...and everything in it.

Yeah, but he's not going to have any problem with Baldomir, who doesn't seem to be a big puncher nor a tremendous boxer. You have to be one or the other to beat Zab.

Zab's a pro. He'll TCOB.

And then the Zab/Floyd predictions will begin full-swing. If Zab looks amazing with a KO, then you'll see a swing towards everyone picking Zab. If Zab wins but looks sluggish (ala Spinks 1) then you'll see landslide Floyd predictions. This always happens. But really, how he does against Baldomir has no bearing on how he will do against Floyd.

LMAO!!!SCARFACE!!!

Yeah I agree man, if Zab ever beat PBF he would be the new king of boxing. It would be HUGE for Judah and his resume.

I hope Judah pulls it off come April, I'd be thrilled. I've felt bad for him ever since the Tszyu fight. I mean damn, if Tszyu didn't have a KILLER punch, Judah was gonna own that ass all night. LOOK AT ME NOW, THINKING AHEAD TOO! But seriously, knock this Baldomir dude out on the 7th so we can really get our minds on what matters.

I agree, Zab was certaintly on his way to stopping Tszyu. But credit to Tszyu he is a great puncher, and landed a great shot on Zab's below average chin.

No he wasn't. How can you possibly say that he was on his way to stopping Tszyu after one round? The second round Kostya found his range and had started to land a bit more frequently, and then in the last few seconds of the second he KO'ed him. It would have come a bit later if he hadn't caught him in the second. Tszyu would have won that fight by KO before six, but it wouldn't have been half as humerous.

With all this Mayweather talk in the back of his head, Judah might be handling this situation very poorly. He's got a fight in a couple weeks that he needs to win in order to get Mayweather, but his mind is only on Mayweather. I'm not gonna pretend to know **** about Baldomir, but Judah is screwing around too much here. He's either going to be thinking about Mayweather and struggle with this dude a little bit or he's gonna come out trying to look like a killer against this dude. Either way, he's handling it wrong.

Get your mind off Mayweather and on your mandatory, Zab!

best piece of advice you have ever given.

Tszyu is notorious for starting out slow, and it showed for about the 20th time in his career against Judah. If you look closely, Tszyu is pawing out his jab and finding his range. A knockout was inevitable. Tszyu would of knocked out Judah within a few more rounds.
