Gosh I've been waiting for this. Amir Khan and Zab Judah meet up Saturday for a Jr. Welterweight title unification.
Pretty much the stars are aligning for this one. Khan is a fast, smart, young champion with true heart. Judah is an all-around impressive fighter with a ton of top-notch experience on his side. He fought many of the best out there, including Floyd Mayweather, Jr., whom he was beating up early in their legendary fight together.
Either guy can win. On the one hand, Khan has the speed to beat Zab to the punch all night and out-point him. On the other hand, Zab can capitalize on Khan's occasional mistakes with big shots, similar to what Marcos Maidana did against Khan in their awesome fight in December, and perhaps knock him out.
Both guys are able to get knocked out mercilessly...
...But they're both tough as hell and aren't afraid to fight. So this should be very interesting.
JD's Prediction
Pain.
Haha, just kidding.
Zab Judah often has a bad attitude, as displayed after his knockout loss to Kostya Tszyu (shown above) and in round 10 of the Mayweather fight, when he blatantly clocked him below the belt and then rabbit-punched him.
That said, if Khan starts dancing around the ring, avoiding Zab's early attacks, he may greatly frustrate the notoriously irascible Judah. In his anger, it is highly probably that Zab may foul Khan and get himself disqualified. Whenever Zab enters the ring you have to always expect something out of the ordinary, so I will.
Khan by DQ in 8.
