What a horrible match up; Breland wins though. Breland is classic who needs him? He will match up terribly with most good or better 147lbers, and was flaky enough, that beating him does not add to many of the top 147lbers legacies.
You know, I've seen him do that before. In the pineda fight - I cant remember what round - he was obviously trying to emulate roy jones style the way he was holding his arms and posturing himself. It was only for a brief time, he didnt do it the whole fight but you could tell he was trying it out. The obvious comparisons I could make are with sweetpea and iron mike, it seemed like he copied their styles a lot and couldnt choose which one to use. I think maybe he copied roy in the sense that he thought his athleticism and counter punching would make guys timid and then he could dictate the fight. He was capable of some amazing things but seemed to have a bit of an identity crisis at times with what style to adopt as he could emulate many but maybe not master them. Add to that he was physically smaller than a lot of his opponents and not as physically strong and it seemed like a recipe for disaster
This is easy for Breland. Judah is being outjabbed and when he steps inside a little that long right knocks him down and keeps on doing it until the fight is stopped in about 3 or 4.
Two guys with speed and pop. Judah being faster and Breland the harder puncher. They both have durability issues. Judah can potentially catch Breland with a shot he doesn't see coming but Breland's height, reach, jab, and power can certainly make him shell up. It's a close call where both guys can get stopped but I slightly favor Breland due to his physical advantages.
Perhaps the two of them didn't have two pennies' worth of athletic talent among them to rub together but they would give us so much we'd forget about all of that and just enjoy the non-stop train to Sluggersville.
