    Reminded me of DLH and Pac.

    I dont understand why he came in the ring so light on fight night. We know what happened to DLH when he didnt put his weight back on.

    Judah barely escaped this fight I hope he learned a lesson. He should have been 5-10 lbs heavier.

    I think he had trouble getting down. He was 143 fully clothed on the morning of the weigh in and had trouble putting it back on.

    cus since all fighters from 140-154 eventually would like to fight pac in the near future top rank has now enforced you can only hydrate up to 2 pounds since the weigh in

    perhaps he wasnt dehydrated in the first place which would be a good thing ?

    I don't think he was dehydrated. He always sucks in the second part of a fight

    Maybe he was just very light.... remember for the clottey fight he weighed in at 143 with a 147 limit... so i doubt he even cut any weight for the weigh in of that fight, therefore didn't need to hydrate.

    His conditioning wasn't the problem yesterday... he moved great for all 12 rounds and didn't seem to be exhausted.. he just had trouble pulling the trigger, didn't seem to have a game plan and was scared of the power punches coming back

    He barely escaped because he is a shot fighter.

    He didn't need to. He's naturally probably around 145 lbs. I'm sure he could make 135 if he really wanted to, but this is Zab Judah we're talking about.

    a politician, a promoter, and ego driven irrelevant starved for attention coach that gets too much shine. those troublsome guys were on it

    real talk i think judah wanted to maintain his speed maybe
    he looked faster at 147 but he is getting old dude use to be faster then floyd and pac age rules all
    if pac comes in fast as he did last year something up mayweather judah and mosley speed all has faded no way pac is still a little tornado with the hands
