The most ridiclious thing I have ever heard. We're comparing Judah, who can't fight for 12 rounds, against Mijares, who goes 12 rounds nearly every time out. One loss, and Mijares is on the level of Judah. Unbelievable. atsch
I think he refers to Judah about the mental condition, by no means he was comparing their stamina. Skill wise, I think it is pretty fair to say that Judah was a fast and skilled boxer (at least until the 2 nd round of the Tzsyu bout.)
Mijares was afraid of Darchinyan's power. Hence, he couldnt throw punches or counter the way he used to since he was wary of Vic hitting him.
Judah is seen the way he is because he had crashed mentally in nearly every big fight he has been in. Mijares suffered a loss, by knockout, against one of the best fighter in the division. When Judah breaks down, he either looks for ways to get out of the fight or he stops fighting. Mijares never stopped fighting in the Vic fight, he was never successful, but he tried to fight. Not to say he didn't lose it mentally, he did, but this is the first occasion he did it. When he was fighting Kawashima in Japan, he was hit with a huge right hook and he went down. This was in the 2nd round. Mijares got back up and won the fight on points. Judah has never shown the ability to do such a thing, especially not at the highest level, in somebody elses backyard. Likewise, when Mijares fought Arce, it could have been easy for him to get pulled into a slugfest. With Arce inviting him in, Mijares still stuck to his boxing for 12 rounds, hitting Arce at will. Judah never shown the discipline to stick to a gameplan for 12 rounds at the highest level. Crisitian lost one fight, he lost it mentally. Judah is constantly linked with mental breakdowns, because he has repeatidly done it. He lost it against Mayweather, Baldomir, and Clottey to name three. Mijares had done it once, and he lost the fight. The comparison is ridiclious.
I kind of saw this as a boxer against a fighter. Darchinyan was throwing to hurt, not score points. Combine that with enough boxing skill and Mijares was lost.
Judah skillwise blows Mijares away but Mijares is alot tougher...although he was outmatched the other night, he has nothing to be ashamed of. But I dont want to take away from Judah..as much as he has cracked in many fights, he had some impressive wins as well against notable competition. He also gave Floyd problems for the first half of their fight..not many can claim that.
