    I'm going with Breland to drop and outpoint Judah here. Thoughts?

    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.

    I always felt like his biggest problem was that he tried to fight like Roy Jones ...do you agree ?

    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.
