Judah has that impressive ability to lose and still stay in line for major fights. I guess if a loss to Baldomir was good enough for Mayweather, then a loss to Clottey is good enough for Margarito. :: Bob Arum...bringing you only the best fights available. ...

I figured this was always the fight Arum preferred, which is why I was a little surprised they let Clottey out of the ring with the belt. Though I guess since Clottey's a Top Ranker it was safer to have him take the title and keep Judah on the umbilical cord.
It probably doesn't even matter how long Judah's cut takes to heal. He'd probably take the fight even if doesn't heal and he ends opening up in seconds like Chavez did. :: After all, his daughter is getting her license.
As much criticism as HBO and people like Don King get, Arum hasn't really had his share yet. Although I'm sure HBO has no problem with this matchup because it will make Margarito look like an absolute beast and you can't fault Judah either for taking the money. If Arum wanted to do a Margarito-Judah matchup though, you'd think he wouldn't have let Judah fight Clottey unless he was dumb enough to think Judah would actually win which means he wouldn't have matched Judah up with Clottey. For this fight to even come close to being a true PPV you'd think Judah would have had to look good or at least get a win. I'm sure though that Arum will make it PPV anyway because Arum+Mexican fighter=PPV.
Most likely the fight will not be on HBO, but on some of his fraud ppv's alongside chavez jr or some crap like that.
