By Allan Fox: 38-year-old former two division world champion Zab Judah (42-9, 29 KOs) will be facing former super featherweight world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (26-5-1, 16 KOs) in a scheduled 10 round fight on November 13th on CBS Sports at the D Hotel and Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Judah has been out of action since he lost a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision to Paulie Malignaggi two years ago in 2013. Judah is seen as a shot fighter in the eyes of a lot of boxing fans.
By Reynaldo Sanchez: The rule 5.B in the paragraph #2 section (b) of the International Boxing Federation (IBF) establishes that any fighter who obtains a title in an optional fight in every weight class, he inherits the obligations of the previous champion as for the compulsory defense without impairment of the time that was staying for the moment in which the previous champion lost his title.
By Scott Gilfoid: Boxrec is reporting that super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell (20-1, 14 KO’s) will be taking on 37-year-old interim WBA World super middleweight champion Brian Magee (36-4-1, 25 KO’s) on November 17th in a TMT Promotions fight card for the vacant WBA World super middleweight title at a still to be determined venue in the United States.
By Francisco Hernandez: Jorge Linares has a record of 30 wins and one loss. Before his lone loss, Linares was considered one of the top pound for pound fighters in boxing. The sage Don Chargin recently stated that Jorge Linares because of his excellent boxing skills continues to be the top pound for pound fighter in his opinion. There is something wrong with boxing when it relegates a fighter to oblivion because he loses a fight. That is why so many boxers today are afraid of losing and like Pacquiao end up picking and choosing straw opponents.
