Paschall said Dirrell said he'd get a rematch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chachie Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 i'm taking Clottey in a late round stoppage against Zab After one it looks as though Clottey is more comfortable. Zab's south paw doesn't seem to phase him and his defense is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Zab is like origami, he folds under pressure. Judah don't like hard tough fights. he'll wilt under Clottey's pressure late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACW Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 How do you cut 20 lbs overnight? And is it EVER healthy. It seems EXTREMELY dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 How do you cut 20 lbs overnight? And is it EVER healthy. It seems EXTREMELY dangerous. 20lbs overnight is rare, but it has been done. it damn sure ain't healthy. 8-13lbs overnight is quite common though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Judah is a *****. Can't man up and just admit he got out fought. He knows damn well it was a punch that caused the cut. Man up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 i would love to see a rematch between Clottey & Margarito. i thought Clottey was winning that fight until he broke his hands Clottey vs. Berto would also be good if Berto gets past Steve Forbes on Sept.27th. Margarito needs to fight Paul Williams or Josh Clottey next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Zab got punked. He's a gate keeper. Sad. i wouldn't say he got punked, Clottey is the real deal in the welterweight division and will be a problem for anyone he faces at 147. Zab was still standing and trading before he cut. the Zab Judah of a couple of years ago would've folded up shop and did something stupid he is now officially a gate keeper though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he fought hard and showed a lot of toughness. I just wish he could 'publically' acknowledge a loss. Watching him congratulate Clottey, I think he was gracious and knew he'd been outfought. Why he can't do that in front of the cameras, I don't know - I think its sad and embarassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now when a single loss can be devastating to a fighters career. I think Zab realized this was and should be his last shot to remain relevant.

GrimReaper21 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 how the hell did Zab get punked? Entering the ninth round, the fight was even on two of the three cards...Get a f'in clue....Clottey tore his biceps so theres a good chance Judah is going to fight Margartio now, as reported on ESPN.com...

Tarhog Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I agree - he fought tough. On the other hand, it never should've gone to the scorecards since the cut clearly was the result of a punch - in other words, Clottey stopped him plain and simple. Judah's punch count #'s were dropping like a rock, so I think the result was inevitable when the cut occured, although you never know what will happen in boxing.
