Mayweather vs. Judah

This coming Saturday (April 8, 2006), in a PPV event, Floyd Mayweather 35-0 (24 KOs) will face IBF champ Zab Judah 34-3 (25 KOs) for Judah's Welterweight title in the Roman Plaza at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Why this fight is a title fight is beyond me. Zab Judah was beaten fairly and squarely by aging Argentine journeyman Carlos Baldomir in his last fight, but because of technicalities (wink-wink-nudge-nudge), Judah was able to keep his title. What a surprise … and now the big PPV event in a super-fight with Floyd Mayweather.

This is an easy pick for the crusty Mighty Moe. Judah, at best is a journeyman with a big punch, while Floyd Mayweather is -- no doubt -- a future Hall Of Famer. Floyd should make quick work of Judah’s weak chin. I give Floyd a warm up round, and then he’ll stop Judah in the second in sensational fashion.

Judah has already proven that he has a weak chin, and worse yet, has poor recuperative abilities. Zab has fast hands, but unforutnately doesn’t punch in combinations. Look for Floyd to bait Judah, make him miss and make him pay. Zab also has a habit of dropping his hands when he backs out. He won’t be able to get away with that against Floyd Mayweather.
