Zab Judah returns again

[US Tomato Can]

Zab returns again to take the much sought after IBC Light Middleweight title against Ryan Davis (that's a big helping of sarcasm BTW). Takes place tomorrow at the Casablanca Casino, Providenciales, Turks And Caicos Islands. Zab is becoming the perfect example of what limitless athletic ability and an unfocused mind plagued by neuroses can do to your career.

i recently re-watched Judah get beat down by Cotto.
Hard, physical fight. He looked good till the low blows,
but i think he still would have not won even if those had not happened.

The first 5 rounds or so against PBF is still todate the hardest fight PBF has
gotten. We will see what happens when when he fights Hatton, but i digress.

I was the BIGGEST Zab Judah fan around in the late 90s and I thought that he would go down as one of the all time greats for sure. I still think he's young enough to possibly live up to that early potential he showed but the window is closing fast.

Watching Zab is really an exercise in frustration. Zab has the gifts of superhuman speed really. Decent banging power. Great movement. And a weak, weak will. It kills me to watch this guy basically flush so much potential away as he has been. I mean damn! Baldomir beat him too and badly. The immobile one beat him!!

I seriously think he needs to get out from under Yoel and the rest would more or less fall into place.

wheeeee. and there is talk de la hoya might use him as a tuneup next year also

Really?? I thought that at this point DLH only wanted blockbuster big money fights and Zab just ain't it.

man, zab at 154? hes too small for 147 imo

Zab is such a potential.
He needs to change a camp, and start all over again.
He can be champion again.

[Paul T]

he should go be a sparring partner for Hatton to get him ready for PBF/
it would be good for both of them.

i read something from a golden boy promotions rep the other day where he said oscar is looking to fight 3 times in 2008. 1 tuneup and 2 big money bouts.
