    Khan still has a habit of leaping in and throwing flurries, which leaves him wide open until he can reset himself. If Judah waits for Khan to lunge in like that and times him with a straight left or an uppercut, I wouldn't be surprised if Khan went down. Judah can be surprisingly good with pinpoint, sharp punches, even against someone as good as Mayweather. If Maidana can time and counter Khan again and again, surely Judah can do it too.

    Khan's willing to fight anyone, gotta give the guy props for his attitude. It's refreshing to see someone determined to be the best by fighting the best.

    Stylistically, the 2 worst match ups for him at 140 are Judah and Maidana, and it looks as though he may end up facing them both within a couple of months of each other. Fair play.

    Wouldn't be at all surprised if Khan gets knocked out though. He starts getting frustrated and lunging in like he did against McCloskey and Zab might catch him with something big.

    Make no mistake Khan won't be over reaching in this one, I am sure Roach will address that fault.

    When Khan is in a boxing match like the ones with Kotelnik and Paulie then he is at his best, using his handspeed reach and jab, very hard to outscore or outpoint Khan when he is in this mindset. Yet to see Khan outboxed in a pure boxing match, remember Khan comes from a great amateur background, point scoring from range is his game because he can mostly beat you to the punch because of his great handspeed, Khan can land 6,7,8 punch combos in seconds.

    Good fight, Judah seems refocused and is on a winning run, Khan wanted Bradley but Bradley don't want to fight Khan so this the next best option.

    It will be like the paulie fight with khan just faster and younger with zab looking slow and past his best.
    Khan tko mid to late rounds.

    i would'nt believe anything 100 percent thats on zab judah's twitter.
    he could be saying this because he knows the fights not on, and wants to make it look like it's khan thats backed out and not him.
    hope its true though, really hope khan does'nt then say judah was asking for "stupid money", then say he's gonna fight eric morales instead.

    Terrific fight. The next best option after Bradley-Khan for the division.

    Hope it happens at MSG.

    I can't wait. This fight has all of the recipies to turn out to be a great fight. It's a test for Kahn since he's trying to build an American fan base and Judah gets a shot to rise to the top of 140lb division.

    This.

    Khan looked like a beast against Malignaggi, and should follow a similar game plan against Judah.

    He took too many stupid and unnecessary risks against Maidana, and it almost cost him the fight. It was like he took 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
