Amir Khan Vs Zab Judah Build-Up Thread

''140lbs is the weight that I should have stayed at, and campaigned at. I suffered one loss here [at 140lbs] just for the fact of being young.

Now, I'm seasoned and smarter about what I'm doing, and I feel great. Welterweight was too big for me. Everything is coming full circle. This is the best it gets for some guys, I'm ready to just get this show on for the world.

Training camp has been going excellent. I've known Pernell Whitaker since I was 15 years old, and I've learned so much from him. I'm one of his students, and we call him the college professor. I passed with the highest grades last time, got my PHD and now I'm going for whatever is after that.

My defense is tremendous, and all my sparring partners they all say everyday that I'm super hard to hit. It's coming full circle, I'm just excited and don't know what to say.''

 

I will be rooting for Khan in this one, as usual, but id be happy enough to see Judah win aswell. It would kind of put the finishing touches that would make him hof worthy. I always liked Zab, never people always questioned discipline and focus, often with good reason. But it takes a lot of self belief and determination to pick yourself up from devestating loses and come back again. Which he has done over and over in his career, and hes just gone through another revival the past year or so. Wouldnt mind seeing him win at all.

 

Good to see Zab is ready he looks in great shape.

I think Alex must of put Khan though hell in this camp due to him not being there for the last one lol.

Jokes a side I think training camp for Khan must of gone well with him not flying everywhere and him also getting Roach and Alex to himself and not having to share with Manny.

Khan don't look as cut up as his last camp maybe due to the fact Alex likes keeping Khan at 150lbs right up until a week before fightnight and slows the protein intake for Khan so he just dips down to 140 at weigh in, so in fact Khan loses 10lbs in a week.

 

victor conte is working for zab?

 

Yep Hold the presses zab working with conte claims to have never been fitter :-(

So conte has been caught properly?

 

That is biggest load of uneducated nonsense you've ever written ( Possibly ).

 

ollie holt, sports writer with the mirror, who is in vegas now for the fight, he just tweeted...

"Brilliant bonus about to be announced for UK fight fans in Vegas by Thursday afternoon"

whats that then?

 

Public weigh in I spekt. Brits love that **** more than the fights these days.

 

A local pub to me (Essex) is selling tickets for this fight but I can't help thinking they've got it all wrong. Is demand really that high? Obviously the tickets is to guarantee the late licence but still, I'm imagining an empty pub.

Any excuse for a booze though I guess...

 

I think Conte's a ****, but I doubt he's doing anything dodgy with Judah or anyone else at the moment. Considering the heat that will always be on him, the fighters wouldn't take the risk of associating themselves with him if he was indeed up to his old dirty tricks again. They must have a lot of faith in him.

 

I just wouldn't want my name associated with Conte.

 

Me neither. But the bugger must be doing something right to have all these fighters wanting to work with him.

 

I thought that Primetime wasn't available in pubs, just domestic properties?

Something smells fishy. :bart

 

Well they've got the posters up so it's not like they're keeping a lid on it!
