FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS ZAB JUDAH
- Thread starter bigbreaded
- Start date
Although I agree with KH I didn't want to see the fight get stopped. Either way I'm not mad at the decision to let it go. It made the fight worth it including the undercard, Juan Diaz showed me alot and I already figured Arce would put away Alvarez and that Chavez Jr. would put away his opponent. Good card, I thought it was worth the money.
Shit this was well worth the money....
Mr. Cleen good call dog! Judah proved that his chin wasn't as shaky. To dude who posted that youtube Zab shuffle... that's where the shuffle came from. LOL...
But about the fight. In my opinion I thought Mayweather would have an easy time with Judah... but he didn't. I thought Judah fought well in the beginning of the fight. I thought he even scored a knockdown in the beginning of the fight. Judah's quick left hand was giving Mayweather trouble early on. The announcer's weren't giving Judah as much credit as they should have. But as the fight went on... Judah's conditioning began to give him trouble. And that's when Mayweather started capitalizing. I truly believe that Mayweather's conditioning won him the fight. He was in better shape and he was prepared to go all 12 rounds. If Judah had his conditioning down... he would have won this fight. I've never seen Mayweather get caught with shots like that. Judah got tired and Mayweather didn't. I also believe Zab is dirty too though... he hit Mayweather purposely with a low blow and then hit him in the back of the head. Richard Steele didn't do a good job of reffing the fight. He should have scored a knockdown in Zab's favor (because Mayweather's glove hit the ground) early in the fight and then he should have taken a point when Zab got dirty. But Zab's quickness did give Mayweather trouble early in the fight. I think Zab smokes blunts.

15 minutes after the fight promoter Don King was still arguing with officials that Mayweather should have been disqualified when Roger Mayweather entered the ring. However, with thousands of winning betting tickets already cashed, don't expect the Nevada Commission to change the result now.

Wow a melee in a big championship fight...who would have saw that coming? Seriously boxing is turning into a joke...maybe I'm wrong since I didnt see but from what I am reading is Judah was about to go down...he did something illegal probably knowing Maywethers camp would react...and guess what they did...now what do we have...a controversy...WHY??? TO SELL MORE PPV FOR THE NEXT FIGHT....IT'S ALL FIXED AND STAGED!!!!
Sorry I could be wrong sure I'll admit that...but how many times has this happened to boxing now? Boxing is old news.

Just like I said, Judah at his beat aint no slouch, but Mayweather proved to be the better suited fighter. Judah did have Mayweather's number in the early rounds (And actually should have scored a knock down on Mayweather), but this is the difference. Judah relies on his athleticism way too much because he's not that good defensively so he wastes more energy, and Mayweather is a fighter with a better defense and knows how to adjust as the fight goes on and is the better counter puncher prepared to fight 12 rounds strong if has to.
Early on when they both were fresh, they were evenly matched to everybody's surprise, but Judah had the slight upper hand because everytime Mayweather threw the right he had to reach, which put him in position to be countered which is what happened early in the fight. Mayweather also got hit with punches he didn't even see coming which is gonna happen fighting a speedy south paw. What turned the tide is when Mayweather took advice from his corner which was two things, 1. Walk Judah down and throw punches because it would cancel Judah's speed and he can't fight going backwards, and 2. Go to the body which by the mid rounds slowed him to a crawl and left him vulnerable to Mayweather's onslaught. The low blow was definitely done on purpose. That stopped Mayweather's momentum because he was on the verge of hurting Judah badly and Judah was trying to bail him self out which is exactly what he did. He'll take a 12 round defeat over a TKO anyday of the week.
The rematch will definitely end quicker because Judah's defense has too many holes and I believe Mayweather would be more agressive leading to a knock out midway.

Whether Judah deserved the fight or night, it was a competitive fight and he earned Mayweather's repsect and made him change his fight game plan. He went from counter punchder to agressor because he had to, which is acredit to how good Judah was prepared for this fight. And if I know Don King, he had a rematch clause in the contract since Judah was the champion (Like it or not). Neither one of them have many choice out there that will net them big checks except to do it again... Mayweather is too good for Hatton, and Margarito is his only real other option which won't draw a big audience, and the older guys, Moseley and De La Hoya don't want nothing to do with Mayweather. Moseley might fight Judah, but it won't pull PPV numbers like a Mayweather/Judah 2 would. Especially based on the hype of the melee and the fact that the fight could have been DQ'd... We'll have to wait and see.
Honestly I'd like to see either one of them fight Juan Diaz
