Garcia defeats Judah in a war

05(Photo credit: Naoki Fakuda) By Jim Dower: In an exciting fight, WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16 KO’s) defeated former two division world champion Zab Judah (42-8, 29 KO’s) by a 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The final judges’ scores were 115-112, 114-112, 116-111.

Garcia knocked Judah down with a big right hand in the 8th round. Just when it looked like Garcia was going to score a stoppage, Judah came back in the last three rounds, hurting Garcia with big left hands in the 10th and 11th rounds. Garcia appeared to gas out in the last part of the fight, and he looked uncomfortable in taking Judah’s big left hand power shots.

Danny Garcia vs. Zab Judah Preview: Time to back up the Tweets

garcia111(Photo credit: Casino/Showtime) By Peter Wells: Danny Garcia and Zab Judah have for the last six months or so expressed their mutual dislike of each other in no more than 140 characters at a time, until Saturday 27th April when the tweeting stops, and the fighting begins. For those of you who have not witnessed the “twitter war” between the two fighters, then you are most probably wondering why this fight is receiving so much attention from fans.

The two boxers online squabbling and the near brawl between the two camps has quite simply sold the fight. Suddenly fight fans have gone from “couldn’t care less” to having a rather childish excitement that you usually get at school when you hear a fight is happening on the playground at lunch time.

A Look Forward to This Weeks Boxing

clip_image006By Shane Newsome: With again another packed schedule on both sides of the Atlantic we have busy cards in UK, USA but also action from Argentina and Germany with fights not to be missed, so let’s take a look at what we have in store.

First we go to Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK and the main event Amir Khan (27-3) vs Julio Diaz (40-7-1) this fight should just be another stepping stone for the 26 year-old Brit even a Diaz in his absolute prime should be easy work for someone as skilled as Khan look for him to get Julio out of there around the mid-late rounds anything else and maybe Khan will deserve the criticism he will most definitely receive, if he does win this fight in easy fashion like expected you would hope he would now step back up to world level and try and avenge on of his recent defeats like he has talked about, we will soon see.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

Rios-Alvarado, Matthysse-Peterson, Garcia-Judah preview and analysis

rios22By Andrew Garewal: Arguably the most dangerous and exciting division in boxing today is at light welterweight. At 140 lbs, boxers possess uncanny speed, elusive footwork and explosive power. Nowhere in boxing is there such an array of talent in which multiple fighters could be crowned legitimate champions in their own right.

In other weight classes there is a recognized unified champion or it’s ruled by few respective champions. Heavyweights are dominated by the Klitschkos; super middleweight and middleweight is handled by Andre Ward and Sergio Martinez; Mayweather is at the helm of the junior middleweight and welterweight divisions; Broner has run through the super featherweight and lightweight divisions; Donaire and Rigondeaux are about to establish the leader at super bantamweight. No other division in boxing displays the competitiveness and uncertainty of a reigning king than that of light welterweight.
