Im a fan of Judah, but I have the feeling hes going to get KTFOed by Matth.

[The Gambler1981]

Wasn't to impressed with Matthysse against Harris (who is much farther gone than Judah).

I think Judah will smoke him as I think Judah is motivated to get one last big shot, I don't know if Judah is capable of making good on that shot but I am fairly certain he has enough to get to that shot (aslong as he stay motivated).

Judah needs the bread though so I don't think motivation will be a problem currently, but Judah is flaky so you never know.

Judah wins imo , wide UD

Not a big Judah fan, but I have to admit his last fight was impressive. I'm still going with the guy on his way up over the one on his way down.

Matthysse is a big puncher. That in itself makes him a live underdog against a fighter like Judah who can be up and down. But Judah's speed and experience will be a major advantage. How that plays out remains to be seen.It will be an interesting fight with good contrasting styles. I will not be shocked if Matthysse wins this fight.

[Evil Abed]

Judah if it lasts less than 5 rounds.

Matthysse if it goes longer than 5 rounds.

Official prediction: Matthyese wins via 10th round TKO.

Judah will always be a front runner

I hope he can prove me wrong.

Would really like to see him vs the winner of Bradley-Alexander or Khan-Maidana.

Judah is too fast and too smart. A Judah win over Lucas Matthysee means redemption for that loss to Baldy.

To be honest I don't know what to expect in this fight. I haven't seen much of Matthysse--he might have a padded record. Judah is mercurial, so we don't know which Judah shows up. Plus he is older and we don't know how motivated he is or how much he has left. This makes it an "I don't know what will happen" fight for me.
