    I have to say from whats coming out of Zab's camp and how he looks. He's seems to have prepared well and is looking excellent.

    Btw, what's with this Victor Conte rumour?

    Apparently he's getting Zab ready for this fight. I know he also works with Nonito Donaire and Andre Ward, but Conte is a scumbag cheater and no figher should associate himself with him. I just don't trust that guy. Conditioning is gonna be key in this fight and Zabs conditioning has never been the best. Lets hope things stay above board.

    i think he has an input into brandon rios and sergio martinez preps too, maybe its paranoia from the zab camp because khan is coming from the wildcard and the mindset of "well if they are using then lets get the best in the business", interesting turn of events if true, conte is a cheaterbut he is a genius at what he does the man is 15 years ahead of the testing

    It's a good thing that Khan has done all his training in LA, best be prepared for a battle.

    Amir hasn't sounded like his camp's gone great, to be honest - he definitely better be ready. Also, does anyone know why Amir is sparring today? I thought the sparring is wrapped up 2 weeks before a fight.

    Considering how much is said to the press along the lines of "Camps gone amazing. Best I've ever been in", and how often fighters then come out afterwards, whether through losing or having a less than perfect performance and say "We had a few issues in camp, things didn't go well". I Wouldn't worry too much.

    The main sparring work is wrapped up by then, but often there can be tactical elements that are changed or added that trainers like to sometimes go over

    Should be. On the iphone right now. Will hopefully get down to posting a fair bit of pics/predictions/vids later on. From what I've seen though, Judah looks ready.

    That's true. Guess we'll find out on Saturday.

    Ah, I see. Just found it slightly strange.

    watched that primetime road to vegas docco, its alright, not great but to be expected from primetime.

    khan offered judah uk tv money ages ago in negotiations, judah told him to keep it, he didnt want it, instead wanted more US money or cash upfront or something, he has no faith in khan selling good uk numbers i think

    I think this fight will boil down to the same old story. On paper and in terms of skills, abilities and most importantly physical condition, Khan should decisively win. But it's whether or not Khan can stick to the plan for potentially 12 rounds. It's his to lose. I'd say it's 50/50 given his past tendencies and Judah's track record of exploiting such lapses.

    I can't imagine it's serious sparring, I'd say it's just about tweaking things here and there, ironing out a few creases.

    Anyways, this thread is Judah lacking:
