Been done often, but not in a while. How do you see this going? Camacho by far the better fighter but I could see Zab's speed and punch give him trouble as Camacho doesn't have the power to whack Judah out quickly
As long as we're talking about the prime Camacho, he schools Zab. Since this is at 140, we can use the Camacho who dominated Howard Davis. Judah has power over him, but given Camacho's dependable chin, that wouldn't mean much. Judah doesn't have anything else over Hector. Camacho is one of the few fighters in history with a clear handspeed edge over Judah, and that would really bother Zab. On top of which, Camacho was just a far better technician. 8-4, or 9-3 UD for Camacho
Judah has the tools to beat Camacho, but not the boxing IQ. Zab would land some nice shots here and there but overall it goes to a decision which Camacho wins.
I can hear the commentary already trying to convince the viewers what they're watching isn't crap as the rounds go by. "High speed chess" would probably be a term used. This is one for the "purists". Kellerman would make comparisons to Fischer-Spassky and Leonard-Hearns.
I don't think it's a given that it would boring. Both guys turned boring later in their careers, but pre-Tszyu Judah and pre-Rosario Camacho were both fairly exciting fighters.
Camacho was never particularly exciting, IMO But his “exciting” days ended when Edwin Rosario proved to him that yes he could be hit and yes it hurt And when Reyes Cruz decked him early on only a few fights later, he fully became the negative, spoiling creep we all despised for the remainder of his career Judah was freaked out by anybody with the ability to put hands on him that was still standing after 5 rounds, especially if they had any pop... of course, that’s not a big concern for him here Ultimately, I’d pick Camacho by decision because he’s a more skilled boxer but this fight would be fucking terrible with lots of extracurricular bullshit before, between rounds and after but nothing exciting or aesthetically appealing during any of the 12 3-minute blocks of “action”
