Well, Zab has no fight scheduled. separated some fighters available, that would be good fights for Zab in october. Henry Lundy - comes from a good win against Ojose. Lamont Peterson - Lost to Matthysse, but the IBF world champion. Mike Dallas Jr - Last fight lost to Matthysse too, but is a good fighter. Khabib Allakhverdiev - undefeated, won M'baye a few days. in my opinion Zab wins all.
Damn, Lundy vs. Judah actually sounds appealing. I bet Lundy would go southpaw (maybe switching after Judah slows down after his customary fast start, assuming Lundy doesn't get blitzed during that) to give him the old "vampire reflection in the mirror" look and hope it can penetrate Judah's fragile psyche. From there it could get really interesting.
Not much excitement in that. Dallas is fast. Judah is someone he wouldn't be faster than, and who is better in every other category and vastly more experienced under the big lights.
Should seriously get a fight with Malignaggi. That this fight doesn't happen simply baffles the mind. 1 - Malignaggi 2 - Broner (I doubt they would put Broner in with Zab but its worth trying. A loss here doesn't hurt him too much, a win is obviously huge. I think its a fight he can win. Don't see why Broner would take this fight but worth trying to get for Judah) 3 - Khan 2 (He cant do much worse then their first fight.... that was atrocious. Again, its a fight he stands a chance in, and a shot for redemption in a decent fight for him. Don't see why Khan would take the fight but its worth trying from Judahs perspective) Judah needs to stay away from Lundy. Right now Lundys scalp still isn't all that worth it, and trust me, an in shape and focused Lundy will give Zab problems he doesn't need right now from a fighter that low on the totem pole.
:deal Ive never understood why this fight hasn't happened. They would do decent live gate numbers I would imagine. Malignaggi is relevant, and not all that threatening of an opponent in terms of damage done to zab. Honestly, if I was Zab Id be clamoring to make this fight. :huh :conf
Khan 2, i would love to see this fight. Zab would be aggressive this time and knocks Khan in 5 rounds.
Nice ideas, IMO: Judah sparks a chinny Lundy, TKO in 8 Peterson goes in head-to-head with Judah, does just enough for close UD/MD/SD win Dallas win the first couple of rounds, Judah punishes him -- KO 4-5 Allakhvierdev decisions Judah. -- Judah goes down, Khabib rocked but digs deep and pulls it off.
Let's be honest here, no chances for Malignaggi. He is a good fighter, but I do not think he's faster, more accurate, more intelligent than Zab. If he can not hurt Zab, then he can not do anything else, because he loses in all areas.
hard to believe but just two years ago zab was around a +500 dog in this fight. my guess in a nuetral location khan would now be a -170 favorite at best. thats how fast and far khan has fallen. amir will go down as the 140lb version of tyrell biggs.
I more or less agree. Judah might need to get rid of Lundy earlier so control doesn't slip away from him...but it wouldn't be unheard of for Judah to course-correct and save his skin with a late KO (see Mabuza) or for Lundy to mentally **** the bed and blow all his built up momentum (see Molina) Dallas might not ever get a chance to even get into it. He could be a KO1 victim.
