By Scott Gilfoid: Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions is looking at November or December for the Amir Khan vs. Danny Garcia rematch. Khan has a fight date coming up on April 20th against a still to be determined opponent, while Garcia is facing 35-year-old Zab Judah next month on February 9th. It’s expected that Garcia will easily destroy the past his best Judah, and Golden Boy will likely feed Khan another beatable fighter for his April date.
However, Garcia may have to fight WBC interim light welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse in between February and November/December, and there’s no telling who will win that fight. Garcia is a good fighter, but he’s still a pretty limited guy with only one big punch to his arsenal.
By Allan Fox: A lot of boxing fans are writing off 35-year-old Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) as having no chance against WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) in their fight on February 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. However, Judah will have a big speed and experience against over Garcia in this fight, and that might be enough for him to shock the world and pull off an upset.
By Chris Williams: Top Rank fighter Brandon Rios (31-0-1, 25 KO’s) looks to be heading for an unnecessary rematch against Mike Alvarado in late March. It’s a strange fight that Bob Arum has put together because there’s no real point in this rematch taking place because Rios destroyed Alvarado last October in a 7th round knockout victory, but Arum thinks boxing fans want to see the fight again so he’s going to shove it down their throats instead of putting Rios in with some new blood.
By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan believes that his conqueror WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia doesn’t want to fight him for some reason, and says he’s going to push his promoters at Golden Boy Promotions to try and persuade Garcia to fight him later on this year so that Khan can try ad avenge his 4th round knockout loss.

Garcia, 24, says he’s not going out there just looking for a knockout but that’s what he plans on doing sooner or later in the fight.
By Dan Ambrose: It’s really difficult to take seriously the upcoming February 9th fight between WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) and 35-year-old Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s). It seems like the only reason Judah was picked for this fight was as a marketing gimmick because he’s well known to casual fans, and he’s popular in the Brooklyn, New York area, which is where the fight will be staged.
By Dominic Sauboorah: Golden Boy Promotions is arguably the biggest boxing promotional company in the world; however they seem to be protecting a lot of their “well known” fighters, whereby they haven’t been fighting top contenders or world champions but instead fringe contenders who have been served up on a silver platter.
By Allan Fox: Former two division world champion Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) confesses that he probably only has two to three more years left in his career, but he doesn’t think that Showtime is making the right decision in hitching their wagon to WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s), thinking he’s going to be a big star. Judah doesn’t see star qualities in Garcia and he thinks Showtime or even HBO are making a mistake if they invest time and effort into Garcia.

Judah and Garcia will be fighting next month on February 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
By Eric Thomas: WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s) will be looking to put in a solid performance against #5 WBC, #14 WBO Fernando Guerrero (25-1, 19 KO’s) on the undercard of the Danny Garcia – Zab Judah fight on February 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
