Judah-Garcia conduct split press conference

003Quillin-Ochoa-GarciaIMG_5894(Tom Casino/Showtime) By Allan Fox: In one of the stranger press conferences you’ll ever see, WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) and challenger Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) conducted a split press conference instead of one with the two fighters together to hype their fight for Saturday night at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York, USA.

The two fighters were kept apart due to “tension in the air,” Oscar De La Hoya said as quoted by fightnews.

Judah said “He’s going to sleep. This is Brooklyn right here. I’m ready. I’m locked & loaded. y’all talking about a hook? I live in Las Vegas, the land of the hookers! I know how to dodge em!”

Garcia said “I can’t wait to stare him in the eyes and take his soul out of his body. I’m going to take him into deep waters and drown him.”

Zab Judah vs. Danny Garcia this Saturday, April 27th in Brooklyn, New York

zab judahBy Allan Fox: 35-year-old former two division world champion Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) has a dangerous fight this Saturday night against WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York, USA.

Judah and Garcia were supposed to have fought last February but Garcia suffered a rib and thumb injury that made it necessary for him to postpone the fight. There are rumors that Garcia was too heavy and wouldn’t have been able to make the 140 lb. weight limit even by dehydrating.

Garcia is one of those light welterweights that are really heavy for the division and it gives him a good advantage over his lighter opponents. Judah could have problems in this fight if Garcia rehydrates up to 160+ because he’s more of a true light welterweight compared to Garcia, who is more of a junior middleweight in size.

Amir Khan blames parties for his loss to Garcia

khan#11By Mark Havey: Amir Khan thrived under the tutelage of trainer Freddie Roach. Before he joined Roach he had just been knocked out in 52 seconds to a unknown fighter. The world famous Wildcard gym was what he felt he needed. Roach turned the former Olympian into a multiple world champion and PPV star. But things turned sour after Amir Khan was brutally knocked out by the confident Danny Garcia.

That is the case in most gyms. There are times when in training when it’s better to lose in Sparring. You work on defense and don’t really throw punches. Other times you work on certain punches or combinations. Amir should have ignored the thoughts on how other see him and focused on what was best for him. looking good in the gym is great but how much does in matter if you look bad in a fight. And getting knocked out after you have talked a good fight, looks bad.

Garcia vs. Judah: Danny’s going to hurt Zab once he opens up, says Angel

judah2By Allan Fox: This month former two division world champion Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) and WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) will be facing each other in a fight on Showtime at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

On paper, you’ve got to go with the bigger, stronger and younger Garcia because he’s in the prime of his career, whereas Judah is clearly been on the decline for many years now.

Garcia’s father Angel Garcia likes that Zab is confident for this fight because he’s hoping that he’ll come out looking to throw shots so that Danny will have an opportunity to hit him with one of his hard left hook counter shots like he did against Amir Khan last year.

Angel Garcia says no to 140 lb. tournament; Khan can’t sit at the throne

khan4321By Scott Gilfoid: Angel Garcia, the father for WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia, says that he doesn’t know anything about there being an unofficial 140 pound tournament being held by Golden Boy Promotions, according thaboxingvoice.com. Angel says that Danny Garcia is going to fight whoever he wants after he gets past Zab Judah on April 27th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Richard Schaefer, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, has recently been saying that the winner of the Judah vs. Garcia fight and the Lucas Matthysse vs. Lamont Peterson fight will face each other, and then the winner of that fight will then fight Amir Khan later in the year, provided that Khan gets past his April 27th fight against 2nd tier fighter Julio Diaz.

Garcia vs. Judah: Danny doesn’t care how much more experience Zab has going for him

garcia3434By Allan Fox: Former two division world champion Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) has made it a point to let boxing fans know that he’s got much more experience at the upper levels of the sport compared to his opponent WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s), and he feels that is going to be the telling factor in him winning their fight this month on April 27th at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York, USA.

Garcia, 25, doesn’t think experience will mean too much for this fight. He feels that once he hits Judah really hard, the experience won’t matter one bit.

Speaking with RingTV, Garcia said “When you get hit, it don’t matter how much experience you’ve got. If you can’t take the punch, that’s the only thing that matters.”

Danny Garcia: I beat Khan once and I’ll beat him again if I have to

garcia4543By Scott Gilfoid: WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) will be taking his first step to an eventual rematch with Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) by defending his title next month against 35-year-old Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) on April 27th at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York, USA.

If Garcia wins that fight, he’ll have to face the winner of the Lucas Matthysse vs. Lamont Peterson fight, which is scheduled for May 18th, and then if Garcia wins that bout he’ll be back in the ring with Khan either late 2013 or early 2014.

Garcia said to Sky Sports “I beat him [Khan] once and I could beat him again…so if I had to fight Khan again and my manager thinks it’s a good move…then we’re going to do it.”

Danny Garcia: Khan should beat Julio Diaz

diaz33By Scott Gilfoid: WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia believes Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) has the speed and the youth to get by former IBF lightweight champion Julio Diaz (40-7-1, 29 KO’s) next month on April 27th at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom.

However, Garcia doesn’t know whether or not Khan has actually improved or not under his new trainer Virgil Hunter because he’s still not being put in with quality world class opposition. Diaz, 33, may have been a world champion 8 years ago, but he’s not the same fighter now, and he’s an unranked welterweight fighting above his best weight by two divisions.

The best/worst thing since the Super Six and Bantamweight Tournament

garcia43By James Le Blanc: Golden Boy has announced they will be holding a 4 man tournament at 140 pounds consisting of Zab Judah vs. Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson vs. Lucas Matthysse. The winners will fight each other and then the ultimate winner of the tournament will more than likely face Amir Khan.  Amir Khan is in the process of returning to 140lb supremacy after losing a controversial decision to Peterson and then a 4th round knockout loss to Danny Garcia. People have different takes on the Super Six tournament. One thing we know about the tournament is that it left out title holder Lucian Bute for some reason.

Bute is arguably not one of the best Super middleweights as Carl Froch made easy work of him post tournament. And then there were a number of fighters that backed out of fights and needed last minute replacements to ensure the tournament went on.
