Any word on who either of these guys are fighting next? A bout between both of them at The Garden would be interesting. Both from Brooklyn, both 140 pounders, both lost to Cotto. I'd take a trip from Philly to The Garden to see it.
Pfft............ It would be a crossroads fight for both guys should it happen. The loser would be finished.
Zab would have nothing to fear coming from Paulie. Judah's superior hand speed would negate the Magic Man's slick boxing. Zab is stronger, punches much harder, and Paulies best shots would have no effect whatsoever. Thus, Zab starts fast, finishes strong, and stops Paulie in around 9 rounds.
For me to beat Zab, though he is best described as mentally fragile - you need pop. Cotto, Clottey, Tszyu and Floyd all had a bit of power. Spinks I cannot explain, and Baldo simply wanted it a bit more than Zab. Paulie is one handed, and in the 2nd after Hatton took away the jab the fight was all over. But for his blatant holding and ducking below the belt he would have been stopped either in the 2nd or certainly the 3rd.
Zab was ringside at Urango - Ngoudjo. Of course, he challenged Urango after he had won. I guess that is one fight that is in the air. The promoters for that event would not have invited Zab if they weren't interested in the first place.
I'd favour Zab, but Paulie doesn't give up, Zab could lose focus at any moment. On the slight chance that Paulie wouldn't hurt his right hand then maybe it'd be a 50/50 fight.
Ther ewe're some rumors of Malignaggi fighting Arnaoutis but it fell apart as Mike is fighting Ortiz now.
Zab is a headcase..When he fights good hes on top form..He fades late in fights all the time...If he can keep his composure than he'll be alright...Paulie is nothing special and Zab won't have to worry bout his power cuz he ain't got none!
see how far u've fallen Zab?....people atcually think u and Pauile would be an even fight, and I don't blame them but yeah, I'd go with Zab UD
