Judah lost to tough or slick boxers, Khan is neither

Don't worry, after the Khan fight Zab will have lost to a fast in and out fighter as well

 

Excellent fight for Khan at this stage of his career. I predict a few rocky moments, maybe even a few knockdowns. :rasta

 

now you can add a new category

young

 

define slick boxer

 

Judah is cooked

 

Khan has only lost to right-handed Columbians. Judah is neither, so using your infallible logic, he'd be as well not showing up.

 

Khan will stop him late. It will be close for a few rounds, but then Khan will take over.

 

:deal

 

IMHO Khan is much better than Baldimor.... and Judah lost to that guy...

 

This x 2

Judah is a better finisher than Maidana

 

- Easy assumtion to make - but Khan will win like he was doing with Mccloskey in every round without looking very good.

- I think Khan has a high work rate - and that'll probably decide matters.

 

Fixed.




Anwyays, I favor Khan to keep Judah at the end of his straight punches. Even though Judah has renewed focus, he's still been kind of negative in his offense and seems to take lots of little breaks here and there when keeping distance from his opponent. And that's when he's winning.

Khan, however, didn't look all that good against a fighter moving backwards in McCoskey. Sure, McCloskey was stinking it out by just evading Khan and barely throwing anything, but Khan's offense was not doing the job it should have from an elite technical skillset. Khan is very accurate with his shots, but if his opponent is defensive-minded, he has trouble being creative in setting up his combinations and in creating opportunities for shots to land. Lots of people point to the absence of Ariza's conditioning for a slightly sub-par performance from Khan, which is possible, but to me it looked like more of a stylistic issue. The Amateur habits of Khan were brought out by frustrating defensive maneuvers and a lack of willingness to engage, which Khan is much more accustomed to. Jab, flurry, circle out, throw a combination, jab, restart...that will prove more difficult against someone looking to box and set up clean shots and counters.

Regardless, I think Khan's consistency and reliance on out-fighting will prove useful in the long-term, and Judah will start eating shots and throwing fewer of his own. Khan will look defensively limited at times in perhaps a sloppy first half, which he is, but his high-guard and hard fast 1-2s will have him wear Judah down. That's my prediction anyways.

 

Judah now does not have Maidana power he does not have one punch KO power, Khans chin held up pretty dam good from the 10th round 1 min chin thrashing he took from Maidana and Zab does not have 1/2 the power don't buy into the hype because that is all it is.:yep

 

this. Judah's problems isnt slick fighters or punchers , he's just never been consistent enough in big fights.

 

If Judah gets Khan buzzed...he is a good enough finisher to end the night early.
