Does anybody else see clottey completely schooling judah? i see clottey as very underrated and technically superb. hes a master of range and positioning and he has very efficient movements. i see judah getting worn down over 12 rounds and clottey coasting to a unanimous decision. what do you think?
Yeah. To me it seems most likely that Clottey's size and style are all wrong for Judah. Clottey has underrated speed too. Still, Judah's always a wildcard - especially with fighters at Clottey's level.
i just wonder why this fight isn't getting any buzz. i think clottey is a great fighter, proved he's great against margo.
if margo and clottey rematch i see clottey winning it, provided he doesnt break his hand. his output significantly dropped after his hand broke mid-fight. taking nothing from margo, he won the fight but i dont think he's better than clottey.
Judah is a bad style for Clottey. Judah only struggles with pressure fighters or superior boxers and Clottey isn't either of those. Unless Zab comes in completely unmotivated, he should outbox Clottey from the outside, time him with hard shots when Clottey leaps in (or pulls out), and hurt/drop him at least once during the fight. The only rounds Clottey will be winning are the ones where he outworks Judah and Zab doesn't do enough, but there won't be too many of those IMO. Judah's speed will be a huge problem for Clottey and I wouldn't be surprised if he stops him. Clottey is a very basic boxer-puncher.. he presents no real problems for Judah. I just hope Judah shows up and takes this fight seriously. I also have a feeling this fight might get very dirty.. one all-around nutcase and one fighter who fouls constantly when he's losing. Should be very interesting.. maybe after Cotto-Margarito ends more people will start talking about this fight.
Besides the part about Clottey getting stopped, I agree completely. Clottey gets seriously overrated on this forum.
I like Judah in this fight, its close to a toss up but Judah's speed will be the difference. Clottey is solid but seems to get a bit overated. Its an interesting fight but I like Judah by decision.
I don't see Zab getting his lead left off without suffering a quick counter from Clottey. Plus Clottey doesn't throw alot but he will press on Zab from behind that shell guard. I do expect both guys to be completely gassed beyond the 6th. And it will probably go the 6th because Clottey doesn't have the pop to get Zab, and Zab doesn't have the pop to break Clottey's guard and get to his chin easy. I expect a pretty technical performance that Clottey pulls out because he'll be cleaner with his punches. Zab is gonna hit alot of guard.
