Oh no this is a bad fight for judah. He doesn’t have the confidence for it. Even though kostya is coming off a lost he cleary beat judah by knocking him silly. A fighter never forgets the guy who knocks him out. Alot of the time they don’t recover mentally. I also think that loss is why zab is the fighter he is today.Hes afraid to get knocked out. When your scared too death of being knocked out its hard to knock out the other guy. You gotta have confidence in this sport and your craft cause if you don’t your better off just playing Fight Night.
I disagree. Roy Jones is a prime example of a guy who got KO’d and fights like he’s afraid to get KO’d (third Tarver fight). Judah still fights on the inside, and will still fight toe to toe. I dont think that KO changed Judah’s style at all.
Yes it did. If zab doesn’t blow right through you in the first few rounds he loses a little confidence and god forbid you tag him with flush shot cause he’ll just stop throwing just so he can survive. He did that against baldimor after he got rocked and he did it last night once he relized he wasn’t gonna be cathching pbf anymore. Zab is a good fighter but all his flaws are mental. He wasn’t like this in the beginning.
I honestly agree. Tszyu is older, and has only fought 2 times, in what, 3 years? Zab would be ready, and the fight would be different. Not saying the outcome would be different, but Zab has a better chance at redeeming his loss.
no way is zabs career finished, he can beat most of the guys out there…he will be back for sure. he didnt lose in any terrible manner…look at gatti, he bounced back quickly, zab will do so too…
more interested in that than Tsyzu-Judah 2 as well, although a rematch with Tsyzu wouldn’t be bad
If all was right in the boxing world Margarito and Judah would fight and PBF and Hatton would fight and then the winners would fight each other…hell, throw in a Cotto-Castillo fight for good measure. That’s probably too much to ask for but it never hurts to ask.
I’m not sure Kostya could win this anymore… He would need all his younger reflexes to replicate what he did 4 years ago IMO if Judah keeps calm the whole fight, and knows that he can’t take Kostya out with one punch. If Mayweather and Judah are still friends and Mayweather trains with Judah I think He would easily beat Kostya, but I wouldn’t bet on Mayweather willing to be a lead sparring partner for somebody else…
