Amir Khan Vs Zab Judah Build-Up Thread

why does he lift up his top, his physique looks soft and will be even softer at 147

 

How you feeling about this fight Slip?

I feel Zab has to be @ the ready early not only for Khan's rapid assaults but also for any early opportunity to hurt Khan who always allow's his nervous energy to get better of him and leave himself open to counters.

Intriguing fight. Khan favorite for obvious reasons but this is first time Khan's met this type of fighter. Malignaggi sadly isn't what many people built him up to be.

Sugar Ray Leonard:

 

Christ, how badly do you want Khan to lose.... :yep

 

Lazarus.
What are you playing at?

You realize Khan has his top on in those pics..

 

What, you want topless pics?

 

I don't know if you've already posted this, but you mention that you're "shittin it", how do you see the fight going?

 

He does look a little soft this time round, I've heard Ariza mentioning that they're slowly building him up for 147 so maybe that could explain it?

 

Oh ****, Amir is quoted on espn.co.uk as saying he's got one of the best chins in boxing atsch I try to defend him on most things but this is mission impossible. I hope Ariza is not slipping psyhcotropic drugs in Khan's protein shakes......

It's interesting fight. Judah, despite being far removed from his prime, still has the ability to land and consequently knock Khan out. With that said, Khan should win. He HAS to win if he has any prospect of becoming an elite fighter.

If it doesn't go his way? He should almost certainly retire because he's never, ever going to get anywhere against a Bradley or Mayweather if he cannot get past this version of Judah. That would normally be a ridiculous assertion given his age, but I genuinely think his future prospects are ****ed at world level if he ends up flat on his back in this one.

If he gets embarassed I think rebuilding back in the UK would be what he'd have to do. Dont think that will happen though
