    Former welterweight champ Zab Judah will be the subject of a program similar to HBO's all-access 24-7 series called Fight Night 36 on NBC Sports over the few days in advance of his clash with unbeaten Vernon Paris that will take place March 24 at the Aviator Sports Complex in Judah's hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y.

    The half-hour special, which will premiere at 10:30 p.m. ET on March 21 and be replayed five times, will chronicle 36 hours in the life of Judah (41-7, 28 knockouts) as he prepares to face Paris (26-0, 15 KOs) in an IBF junior welterweight title eliminator on the second telecast of the NBC Sports Network Fight Night boxing series.
    NHL 36 is a regular series that profiles NHL players and has received acclaim since it debuted on the NBC Sports Network last December, but this is the first time the network has focused on boxing.

    "Compelling, story-driven access is something we want to grow in the NBC Sports Network original space," said Ron Wechsler, vice president of original programming and development at NBC Sports Network. "Given the success we have seen with NHL 36, we are excited to extend the brand to boxing. With Zab Judah returning to his hometown of Brooklyn, we have an amazing hook for our first Fight Night 36 special."

    Judah is promoted by Kathy Duva, president of Main Events.

    "This is a major breakthrough for the sport of boxing, in my opinion. They told us about their desire to do this last week, and we turned it around in a few days," said Duva. "They are finishing up with the taping today at Zab’s camp and this show premieres in a week. And I am told that they plan to continue doing these. As you can probably tell, I am pretty excited about this."

    The program will be rebroadcast 5 times for a total of 6 showings in all. After the primiere, it will be shown once on March 22, twice on March 23 and twice on March 24. The last rebroadcast will be the lead-in to the actual fight.



    Below are the scheduled re-airings of Fight Night 36: Zab Judah:

    March 22 at 11:30 p.m.

    March 23 at 9:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.

    March 24 at 6 p.m. and at 9:30 p.m.

    All times are ET.

    Judah is quite entertaining outside the ring. He is such a ghetto hood rat its unbelievable.

    "Judah brothers, team Judah. We hit New York real hard around 93" - yeah alright Zab, your not the f***ing mafia

    I will not lose.

    It will be interesting to see something similar to the ''24/7'' HBO about Zab. And a few days later i'll watch him beating Paris ... and after a while maybe we will see a real 24/7 HBO with Zab.

    Straight from the ghett-OH!
    It will be funny to hear Zab waffling about low blows and world domination.

    I always thought Zab was a bit of an a hole, with all his ghetto b.s. When he had his press conference in LA prior to his fight with Kostya, my wife and I sat at KZ's table and Zab's people wanted to know why we Blacks weren't at HIS table. Years later, I was working on a movie called, The Obama Affect (which STILL hasn't been released yet), and Zab had a big role in it. To my surprise, he was a REALLY good dude to talk to. His dad, however, was a different story. He came over and asked me why I was talking so much to his son. Zab told him I was a boxing coach and knew a lot about the game and was cool, and his dad grudgingly said, "yeah, aiiight" and walked off. Later, his dad came back and apologized and he and I spent the better part of the day talking boxing.

    @superkalleb Zab will win this one. Vernon doesn't fit into any of the fighting style of the elite fighters he's been beaten by. Judah is a phone box fighter and this fight will favour Judah.
