Amir Khan Vs Zab Judah Build-Up Thread

Judah aint gonna change into Sweet Pea... It's same old Judah... except less faster and like always with no heart.

Problem for Khan is he is fighting a relitively fast Southpaw, and like we saw in his last fight, he has very poor footwork squaring up and when he misses like he did against McCloskey, Judah will catch him.

Khan does not have the intelligance or patiance to stick to the gameplan. His biggest advantage is his speed, stamina and conditioning. He can outwork old Judah easily and win a wide UD as long as he doesn't get involved it's a very easy fight for Khan.

Khan should have a more familiar buildup/preparation for this fight - no travelling to Phillipines, Alex Ariza back, less disruption with Pacquiao not fighting. Roach, must correct Khans flaws sooner rather than later.

 

If Zab goes into the fight trying to be Pernell Whitaker he's gonna get spanked.

 

Khan lives in the UK, stays in shape, then goes to the wildcard 8 weeks before a fight for camp. You don't fix the kind of problems Khan has in camp no matter how good Freddie is. You do it by working hard training all year round.

Champions, already at their peak or beyond in the later stages of their careers, who's abilities are second nature can work like this, go into camp and within weeks get rid of the rust, sharpen up their skills and they are ready... but you certainly don't develop doing this.

I firmly believe that only someone who is obsessively driven can come into boxing already rich and achieve their peak potential.

 

laz im calling you out again, zab is gonna beat your boy like he is gearge bush now lets sort a bet out

 

Khan's chin and lack of Ring IQ will be his downfall. The maidana fight was the super test and he managed to scrape a win but a close win. I cant see Amir dominating any future super fights especially with skilled and power punching hungry lions..Ortiz would slaughter him like no other! Zab will need to hurt amir early and try and engage in some slugfest..Zab wins!
If Amir keeps composed and takes control of the ring he can do it..

 

It's funny how one punch can change a fight, vs Maidana up until the 10th round Khan with maybe only losing 2 rounds to Maidana and Khan taking them rounds off him due the KD and point decution.

So going into round 10 Khan should of been winning a shut out on the cards or still maybe 1 rd to Maidana, all I am saying if Khan slipped that right hand in the 10th Khan was coasting home to a wide points win.

 

How has this got any relevance to a fight with Khan?!!!!?

 

Rightly so, if he's as good as you reckon he is then that's the least he should be doing to a fighter of Maidanas calibre.

 

Khan beating Judah definitely makes him the number 1 in the division.

 

Not really. Bradley just beat Alexander which was a better win.

 

Because Khan is a better boxer then he is. (Mabuza)

He done that most of the fight Khan slipped and ducked most of Maidana shots that why he did not get KO, it was more the case of being sloppy/Gased in the 10th then ring IQ or poor defence, but i wont say still he has a good defence, its just ok.

Khan also said he felt he over trained in a 12 week camp, hopefully because he is staying more active lately and having the right amount of training meaning 6-8 weeks we should is a fitter Khan vs Zab.

 

And all the threads would've been 'Maidana is a bum, Ortiz showed that by knocking him down 3 times'

But instead Maidana is still wrongly to be considered a good fighter and gets to headbutt old man Morales to scrape a win and continue his epic ****ery into future fights. Thanks alot, Amir. You quilt.

 

Mercito Gesta is going to be Khans chief sparring partner.

 

And Mabuza has a better chin than Khan, which would've affected his approach (or rather, will affect Khans)

Ever heard of 'styles make fights'? Khan is undoubtedly better than Mabuza, but Mabuza was coming off a top win, and could pressurise Zab in a way that Amir will not be able too. Because the sporadic combos Zab was throwing (as opposed to being a front runner he now appears to have a low output throughout ) ould well hurt Amir more than they were hurting Mabuza.

As for the shot that ended it, forget about it, that shot detatched him from his senses. If that hits Khan he's out for the count, Zab is faster, slicker, a harder hitter and a far classier southpaw than Paul McCloskey.

Who Khan looked sloppy against. Ergo, I imagine he might fare less better than Mabuza did. Or at least suffer the same result.

Hope not, would love to go watch King Khan Vs Floyd @ Wembley Stadium next year :happy

EDIT: I do actually think Khan will be winning rounds until he gets walked onto something, his hands will blind judges even if he's not landing, judging by Zabs recent fights at ten stone he isn't hard to outwork, for a fighter with Khans handspeed he'll be hard to miss.

And not too hard for Zab to miss either :hey
