zab will knock danny out

That definitely was a great night.

 

If Zab gets baited into exchanging, (and considering how emotional he reacted at the press conference I think it's an inevitability that he will), Garcia flattens him out.

If however he fights composed, he can win a 12 round decision.

 

Well he punked out and tried to get Khan DQ'd, he could have got up and continued that fight.

 

Probably the same that happened when Khan hit him with all his best shots for 2 rounds...Garcia will keep on coming.

 

yes

Is the measurement of a "power puncher" based solely on how one compares to the likes of Tszyu and/or Cotto? And to answer your question, I'm not sure how Garcia's power stacks up to those guys, but I do recognize that he does possess sufficient power; good enough to hurt a 35 years old Judah who's been in his share of difficult battles over the years.

Do you believe Zab's punch resistance is the same today as it was years ago when he was getting stopped by those guys? Even if Garcia doesn't have comparable power (which personally I think just might) he wouldn't need that kind of pop to score a potential stoppage against this version of Zab.

Youtube Garcia. :deal

 

I favor Danny but Zab has a chance of catching Danny by drawing his counters and landing big. Danny's not terribly consistent or aggressive as a pressure fighter, but the longer it goes on, the closer Danny will get, and he's more likely to keep his cool when behind or under fire.

 

Fixed! But this version of Judah is headed for a knockout defeat. :smoke

 

Zab at his best is a pleasure to watch. Naturally gifted and beyond that you can tell he was well schooled in his craft. He's still fast, he's still got pop, I've always admired his balance (do NOT put up a vid of the Kostya KO, we've all seen it) and if this fight is contested at range I would expect him to take it.

That said, I think Garcia is a gritty, tough kind of guy, who has just enough skill and pedigree to not be completely outclassed in the boxing department. It'll start at range and Judah will look positive, slowly Garcia will close the distance and make the fight a bit uglier, a bit more uncomfortable for Zab.

I don't think Garcia will land his patented crispy-hook with enough oomph to KO Zab, but I do think he could put him on his ass, even if Zab pops back up pretty quick. After that, Zab gets more defensive and less offensive and Garcia takes a decision by a few rounds due to a higher work rate. Tough fight for both guys IMO.

 

Zab will take this little boy to school. I want to see what Angel will talk after that.
