If Judah gets Khan in Trouble like Maidana did he will Finish the Job!

All ifs and buts with Judah, like always.

 

Yep.

Was watching the way Maidana was applying pressure on Khan in the 10th and the way Judah does it to his opponents.

Completely different and much more speed with Judah. He'd finish him if he get's the chance to clock him.

 

Definitely, Judah's a good finisher

 

We'll see. I think there might be another 'look what almost happened' story. Who has Judah finished at world level? Khan knows to stay away early anyway.

 

Is that enough to be considered a great finisher? A vacant title that is rightfully Bradley's were it not for politics, debateable whether it's really a world level fight, Mabuza isn't exactly proven.

He's massively talented and has great attributes, but he hasn't used them well.

 

Maybe, we will see if he can land a punch like that then.

 

Judah has never felt like a good finisher to me. It's the opposite, actually. He's great at landing really sharp, quick punches that momentarily stun/rock his opponent, but after that he completely loses his head. He charges in, throwing wildly, and smothers his own work. If anything, he actually screws himself over with his lack of ring intelligence -- he has the physical tools but he doesn't know how to be patient once he stuns someone.

Compare that to a genuinely superb finisher in the form of someone like Leonard -- when he hurt people he would jump in, but he would rarely ever smother his own work. The way he stopped Hearns is a good example -- he remembered to go to the body, and he used careful, measured shots. For a more recent example, look at how Floyd kept calm after he hurt Hatton, and continued to take him apart, piece by piece rather than going nuts and throwing wildly. THAT is good finishing ability.

That being said, Judah is definitely good enough to hurt Khan. Khan lunges in way too much, and Judah loves it when people do that, as he can counter with his uppercut or straight. As for actually finishing Khan off...I'm doubtful, but we'll see.

 

And still had time to showboat. :yep

 

Just do what Cotto did and smack him one in the nuts - that'll take away that killer instinct for the precious recovery seconds that you need.

 

People talk about Judah's loses, but every single one of those fighters he's lost to would of completely wiped the floor with Khan.

 

I'm looking forward to this fight. Zab is a real danger,no doubt.
