Ricky Hatton vs Zab Judah (Primes) at 140lbs

What transpires...

 

I think Hatton breaks Judah down. Zab has a chance to land something lethal early, but Hatton at his best closed the gap pretty quickly.

Judah lands a few shots shots early but nothing quite clean enough to have Hatton out of it. Hatton clinches Zab when even close to being in trouble and continues to grind. The constant pressue and body shots has Judah going backwards and without the ability to land the straight laser left hand.

Hatton TKO 10

 

judah via KO. he would've actually been focused.

 

And it wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome.

 

As usual Judah will do decent enough for the first few rounds...but once Hatton start switching gears it's a wrap...

 

If Baldomir can do it Hatton can do it even better. Hatton tko 9 after a couple of early scares.

 

I always liked Hatton's chances here. People forget Judah could punch some (he was not a hitter of Tszyu's calibre, but with faster hands & less predictable shots, he certainly could whack) & I think his combination of good power & great handspeed are going to give Hatton some problems...ultimately just not as many as Hatton's buzzsaw offense & never-let-you-breathe rough-housing & mugging game are.

Judah quits late.

 

Agree with the consensus- Hatton beats Judah down and wins later

MTF

 

Hatton after 6. Possibility of a Motown Shuffle from Judah.

 

Hatton goes down early, gets up, breaks him down.

 

Ahh, what the hell I'll pick the upset. The pre-Tszyu Judah I feel would stop Hatton. Ricky plain and simple is absolutely shitty against southpaws. And whilst Zab isnt Manny, in his prime he was lighting fast, had the power to put Hatton down, and utilized more angles then. Hatton plain and simple would not be able to get outta the way of Zab's straight left, and he'd constantly be walked into uppercuts.

Zab TKO 7.

 

judah's prime was probably during his first 4 years as a pro when he partied less, and was more dedicated to the sport.
