FINAL PREDICTION: Zab Judah vs. Joshua Clottey

....Clottey by UD

 

Clottey UD. I expect Zab to start strong and then run for dear life. Only really seen Clottey once against Margarito and he did rather well. I base this prediction on Zab being Zab. Zab is ok just to get paid and beat up. It is his role.

 

Clottey by DQ/Riot

 

UD for Clottey. Zab never lands that straight left due to Clottey's high guard. As always Zab slows down halfway through the fight and Clottey breaks him down.

Clottey UD.

 

Clottey by brutal knock-out.

 

Clottey indeed

 

I've never been the biggest fan of Zab--I'm even more pissed Shane never got a chance to get at him. Even worse, he ends up getting a title shot!

I'm picking Clottey but I don't have the greatest amount of faith in him. If this fight goes beyond five rounds, it'll be the most interesting fight this year. Who folds first?

I'm guessing Clottey wins TKO10.

ray:

 

judah via decision.

 

I think Zab will look good for the first time in a while and win one

 

I hope Zab wins and they put him with Margarito.

That or drop him into a pit with a polar bear.

 

Brother Joons, you are truly a believer. ::

 

yep, that's been my belief from the moment this fight was signed.

For a while I've had it in my head that Clottey takes this fight, or at the very least that it's his to lose. Now for whatever reason, I'm undecided.

 

Zab is going to destroy Clottey...If Zab can move in and out at will he's at his best. Clottey will just pivot and allow Zab to get off whenever he wants to and if Clottey hurts him he doesn't follow up well. Zab will win this one and be back on the ww picture.:bears:

 

not really. i gave up on judah after the cotto fight. im hoping that clottey wins, but i just have a hunch that judah will somehow win a decision.

it's truly a pick'em fight. i dont think too highly clottey and like judah, he might also find a way to lose this fight.

 

Man, I stopped f*ckin with Zab when I saw that pathetic performance against Pineda. Actually, I never really was a fan. I chuckle every time I remember him turning to the ref after getting up from the first Tszyu knockdown; eyes rolling in the back of his head, hand extended as if attempting to have a conversation with Nady, all the while his body fast moving forward for another knockdown. Ah, memories...

 

Zab is too small, Clottey by KO 5.

 

:doh:,......... I find this post shocking and highly offensive Joon,.. you mean like.... it's Zab's for the taking, he jus' gotta go out there and do his thing?...:doh::crying:...how dare you?

 

Clottey via decision.

 

REED WANTS Zab to Win, just to PISS OFF the Boxing World...But REED Thinks Clottey will Win...

Clottey's Shown a TAD More CONSISTENCY Thru the Course of an Entire Fight...But like Brother DAZED Said, Who's Gonna FOLD 1st???...

The 1st 5 Rounds Should B GREAT, but the Remainder of the Fight COULD B Awful...

Clottey UD...But a MYRIAD of Outcomes R Possible...Clottey by LATE KO, a DRAW or even a DOUBLE KO...


REED:cheer:

 

Zab will come out full of bravado, looking slick, bouncing around and throwing big, hurtful looking shots at Clottey, who at this point will appear to be out of his depth somewhat.

Then, after about five rounds, Zab will look accross the ring and see that, despite looking slick, having bounced around throwing big, hurtful looking shots at Clottey, Clottey hasn't been knocked out. Moreover, Clottey doesn't look scared or worried at all. In fact, he looks just fine.

The two men will come out for round six and Zab Judah, because he is Zab Judah, will have a complete mental breakdown. He will no longer look slick or throw hurtful looking shots. He will start running. And Clottey will take heart from this, because this is what he (and every other sane boxing fan in the entire know universe) would have expected to happen.

Eventually, Zab will run out of energy with which to slink around the ring. And Clottey will hit him hard enough for Zab to keel over. Somewhere around round eleven, I reckon...

MTF

 

At least he's making a pick fence sitter!

Clottey by TKO in 9 He's too big and durable for Zab.

 

I hope Clottey has to pull out with an injury and they substitute a polar bear or lion.

 

Clottey TKO 10

 

REED Would Pick a "Mature & Motivated" Zab to Use All of his "Boxing Skills" en Route to DESTROYING the Bear OR Lion...

Zab would even Resemble "Pernell Whittaker w/POWER" N the Process...


REEDartie:

 

Zab beats the living fuck out of Clottey

 

I must say that this has to be the first fight EVER in which Zab isnt in the media talking shit! This is UNHEARD of. So either dude has actually matured some, and is just going out to take care of business, or maybe Cotto beat all the confidence outta him.

I was thinking the same thing. In fact, his lack of headlines is kinda reminiscent of his approach in the Spinks rematch in St. Louis, which turned out to be his best night as a pro, IMO.
