judah is lucky

mosley would have smashed him

 

Oh shit, what a cunt.

For some reason I was really looking forward to this fight.

Even though Mosley would have battered him, it was an interesting style matchup, a nice handspeed fest.

 

THis sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Was the Word "CANCELLED" Specifically Used???:dunno: ...If So, that Insinuates that there's NO Plans to RESCHEDULE the Bout @ All...

"POSTPONE" is the More Appropriate Term, if the Fight will Eventually Take Place...

REED Was Mildly Looking Forward to the Matchup Itself, but it NEVER Belonged on PPV...



REED

 

"Judah suffered multiple severe lacerations on his right forearm and received 50 stitches to close the wounds suffered in an accidental fall."

Sounds like Kelly Pavlik.

 

This does make a slow month of May look even worse.

 

THE FIGHT IS OFF COMPLETELY.

 

Richard Schaefer: "We are already in discussions with all parties involved to attempt to reschedule the fight for the near future."

 

tam tam brought this up a few days ago

 

is the event canceled too?

 

fuck, it is. glad i have friends going to vegas w/ me that weeknd.

 

Speaking of which, is the HBO Tripleheader (Angulo, Kirkland, Gamboa) Still INTACT???:dunno:

REED is Asking Because Didn't Gamboa JUST Fight on the DeLa-Forbes Undercard???...


REED:dunno:

 

It's All Good...

Spend your Fight Money on HOOKERS...


REED

 

I think it is.

That was a different Gamboa...he was in against Danny Garcia, one of the undefeated prospects Finkel has, I believe.

 

I wish it were cancelled completely, beating Judah equates to a complete and utter waste of time, does Shane want to be top of the pile, or is he just hanging around for a couple more meaningless fights before retiring, I dont understand the purpose, if he's just fighting Judah as his farewell fight then ok, fine,..

 

Well, I think it was more of a stay busy fight for Mosley.

The delay is supposed to be four weeks for Judah (without training), so I guess it will depend on how quickly they can find a new date and then make this fight.

 

Who else was there to fight? With the exception of Floyd, all the other notable names in the division were already matched up.

 

WTF did they made him spar a pitbull? ::

 

He could've fought margarito a long time ago :dunno:

 

What does a long time ago have to do with now?

 

Damn.

 

that sucks...

Mosley should look to fight Clottey or some else sometime in June.

 

Andre Berto or Josh Clottey comes to mind, Clottey would be a solid win, and an opponent who deserves a crack at the bigtime,.. Shane is noteable for being the kind of honourable fighter who gives these high risk/low reward opponents a chance.

 

I really doubt Berto's team would put him in with Mosley at this stage in his career.

Maybe Mosley-Clottey.

Actually I'd like to see that fight.

 

Agreed, Spiney.

 

Clottey has been squealing and howling and bawling for an oppurtunity at anything and anyone, he deserves it more than Zab,.... this is what makes me dissapointed in Mosely, contrary to the course he chose during his career, this time, he's picked the very fighter that encapsulates "lowest risk for the highest reward" more than anyone in the entire fucking sport...that's ok for a farewell fight, but to seal your legacy in the twilight of your career?..it's fucken shit..

Zab is an oppurtunists dream, he's Top Rank's favourite gimp, hence why Fraud and Cotto fought him consecutively,...in 'superfights':: .... when Arum was lining Judah up for Margarito, I was going to jump right off the bandwagon.

 

Word from my boys in Vegas is that Judah was partying his ass off and was seen at the clubs fucked up bad on two occassions and hasnt trained hardly at all.

 

Sorry to be the omen bringer, guys.

 

Doesn't exactly shock me. Thanks for the info.
