If Khan Beats Zab Judah Should He Be Number #1 140lber?

I see him as more of a danger than Paulie definitely, who was made for Khan stylistically. Judah's always better on paper than in reality though.

 

This is Khans most dangerous fight so far for me, with the approach Zab has shown in his last two fights as well as what Khan has shown as we've seen more of him at 140.

But not as dangerous as Paul Fuji to either, he'd punch their f'n heads in, and Kostya Tszyus, probably on the same night :nut :deal

 

Zabs an interesting fight for Khan. I'm def. having a little punt on a Judah stoppage.

I think Khan will win this one quite well TBH, I'm not buying into this Zab reformation.

 

If I could get Evens for a Khan win, I'd take a Kahn win. At 4s I'll have a pop at a Zab stoppage.

 

Watched Judah's last fight on Eurosport last night and barring the KO which was sweet, he really seemed to struggle in the first 6 rounds to get anything going. A lot of back foot work, but not throwing much. Could see Khan holding the ring, and winning rounds by simply throwing his flurries like he does.

Judah is a name by simply fighting names, but never beating them - losses to Mayweather, Baldomir, Tsyhu, Cotto and Clottey prove that, with the best names he beat being....Spinks? Witter?

Just dont think its a big deal beating Judah, and Im still in the camp that Khan has only had ONE fight against a live contender (Maidana) and that could have went either way.

Still Bradley at number 1 regardless of result for Khan V Judah.

 

Havn't checked the odds mate, I tend not to these days.

I just don't think Zab's going to win, I havn't been impressed with his work in many a year. Plus for how long is he going to be dangerous in this fight? Usually you want to be in the fight late on to expose Khan's weaknesses as Maidana very nearly did, but that may not be viable for Zab.

 

Skybet, not necessarily the best odds.

Khan 2/9 Judah 3/1
Khan PTS 7/4
Judah PTS 7/1
Khan Stoppage Evens
Judah Stoppage 6/1

 

Think Khan PTS is pretty good. He's a featherfist, more or less.

 

He struggled to get much going against McCloskey, Judah is far better and more dangerous than that. I also reckon he's got more one punch power than Maidana, in the sense he's fast and snappy when he gets his shots off.

The left hand counter he landed on Mabuza (a perfectly feasibly shot for him to land on Khan when he flurries and his feet are all over the shop :deal) Khan will get sparked IMO.

Let's not forget what is Zabs achilledheel; pressure fighters. Now that's what Khan essentially is although he isn't pressurising with strength and the will to stop, he throws fast flurries throughout a fight without too much power on them. Zab has the experience of fighting far bigger, and far more dangerous offensive fighters, at 140 and 147. Khan has not yet faced someone with Zabs handspeed, and arguably power, IMO.

Now he isn't so much a front runner, he's more a pot shotter, and I think he will stunt Khans workrate by being fairly negative, and walk him onto something at some point and take him out. I don't see Khan being the kind of fighter to cause the Zab of the last two fights as much physical worry as Mabuza (had just toughed it out with Holt) and Matthyse (strong, decent puncher) so I think he may well look less ragged.

As for Khan, well, he looked sloppy against McCloskey. Admittedly, whilst winning every round.

 

I'm not convinced by Khans chin (who is??) so, to me, 6/1 for a reasonably fast, straight puncher to KO Khan is worth a punt even if the bet is only really likely to be "live" for 4 or 5 rounds.

 

Thank God. When I first started saying this I was lambasted.

Now you are coming round to the idea, you've lended my ideas credibility Thank you.

I don't think there's value in any of those odds to be honest. I'd say the most likely outcome is Khan on points but 7/4 isn't great considering the other potential outcomes aren't far behind. It's quite likely that Khan could be well ahead and Judah is stopped similar to the Malignaggi fight, not to mention cuts or either of them getting sparked.

Khan isn't much of a power puncher, but he can be fast and snappy with his shots and Judah's been put on ***** street before. Likewise with Khan so 6/1 is a decent price for that but not a likely outcome (but then what d'you expect for 6/1 I guess)

 

Made a fair amount at 11/2 UD vs Maidana. Some hairy moments though and I think I needed the points deduction! Khan decision is normally a decent bet.
