Judah to Garcia: Take your a** whooping from me and head down I-95

12/04/2012 by Boxing News

(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Jason Kim: Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) may be 35-years-old and considered past his prime by a lot of boxing fans, but he still feels he’s got what it takes to beat the slower but stronger WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) on February 9th when he go at it in the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York.

Judah and Garcia’s father Angel Garcia got into a big argument in their press conference last Saturday at Gallagher’s Steak House. Judah took issue with Angel calling him a “4 round fighter,” and things kind of took off from there with both Judah and Angel having to be held back by their team.

Angel Garcia: Judah goes out in four!

12/02/201212/01/2012 by Boxing News

By Allan Fox Angel Garcia, the father of WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) wasn’t in the mood to show former two division world champion Zab Judah (42-3, 29 KO’s) any respect during their press conference this past week to promote the Garcia-Judah fight on February 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

When it came time for Angel Garcia to speak his thoughts on the fight at the podium in front of the press, Angel said “Every time he [Judah] stepped up he lost. So what is the point? He didn’t win when he fought Kostya Tszyu; that was his prime. He got clipped. That’s okay. That was his era, that was his time. This is a new era. We might be in Brooklyn. I feel for you all. It’s about Philly right now. Zab goes out in four. That’s a four round fight, he knows that. [Vernon] Paris. We used him for sparring. Danny knocked him down with the first punch. It took Zab 9 rounds to beat Paris.”

Schaefer: Danny Garcia, Broner & Khan a possibility for Malignaggi’s next fight

11/28/2012 by Boxing News

By William Mackay: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is interested in possibly having WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner and/or WBC/WBA light welterweight champion Danny Garcia step up in weight to face Golden Boy fighter WBA World welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi in what would be a Golden Boy in house fight.

Schaefer missed out on the big money opponent Ricky Hatton who he was hoping to match against Malignaggi. Hatton was stopped by Vyacheslav Senchenko in the 9th round last Saturday night. That loss removed any possibility of a Hatton-Malignaggi fight, especially after Hatton then retired.

Garcia vs. Judah on February 9th in Brooklyn, New York

11/28/201211/27/2012 by Boxing News

By Dan Ambrose: The 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) has been moved from January to February 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Other than that, nothing has changed in terms of the actual match-up.

It’s still a mismatch between a young star on the rise in 24-year-old Garcia, and a faded star in 35-year-old Judah, whose talent is on the decline. Judah was given up for dead by a lot of boxing fans after being destroyed by Amir Khan last year in July in a 5th round knockout loss, but Judah resurrected his career by beating unproven and untested fringe 23-year-old Vernon Paris last March.

TEAM UK vs TEAM USA; Wilder, Broner, Froch

By Madern: Readers on this website are split between the nations of Great Britain and the U S of A (apologies to anyone else!) with a sense of animosity and a biased view. I am a representative of one of these great boxing countries but I will say no more.

This piece I have created is meant to be an unbiased view of who I would predict would be the winner between these potential bouts.

Here We Go Again: Garcia/Judah Set for Feb 7th, 2012

11/16/201211/15/2012 by Cestus84

by Miguel Antonio “Miggs” Barragan: I hate to say it, but here we go again. On February 7th, 2013, fans will be “treated” to a championship match brought to us by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, when undefeated WBA Super/WBC/Ring Magazine Super Lightweight champion Danny “Swift” Garcia returns to the ring to face former undisputed Welterweight champion Zab “Super” Judah.

Now, as much as it irks me to no end to see Zab receive yet another undeserved title shot, truth be told, that’s like the 5th thing wrong with this equation. Although I won’t go into a melatonin evoking tirade about them, I will however beg the question, why Judah? Why not Brandon Rios or Josesito Lopez? Or, here’s an idea. How about WBC mandatory challenger Lucas Matthysse?

Judah-Garcia on February 9th at the Barclays Center

11/15/201211/14/2012 by Boxing News

By Jason Kim: 35-year-old Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) is being given a title shot against WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) on February 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Judah is getting the fight with Garcia not because he’s been tearing up the 140 pound division, but rather Judah is the most recognizable name amount the list of contenders in the division.

He’s not even ranked in the top 15 by the World Boxing Council, although he is ranked #1 by IBF after having beaten fringe contender Vernon Paris by a 9th round TKO last March in an International Boxing Federation 140 lb title eliminator bout. However, Judah is being picked because he’s well known among boxing fans for his title as a welterweight and light welterweight champion. Judah has faced guys like Floyd Mayweather Jr., Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey, Amir Khan, Kaizer Mabuza, Carlos Baldomir, Lucas Matthysse and Cory Spinks.

Peter Quillin vs. Jermain Taylor on Garcia-Judah undercard on 1/19

11/08/201211/07/2012 by Boxing News

By Dan Ambrose: Steve Kim is reporting on his twitter page that Golden Boy is setting up a card on January 19th headlined by WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) defending his titles against 34-year-old Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York, USA. On the undercard will be former WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor (31-4-1, 19 KO’s) facing WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s).

What’s so interesting about this card is that both fights involve past their prime fighters taking on guys – Garcia and Quillin – in the prime of their career. I’m not so excited about either fight, although I’m not surprised that the fights are being made because Golden Boy has a couple of vulnerable champions in Garcia and Quillin. They’ve got to match them carefully because if they put them in with the wrong opponent then neither of these fighters will be champions.

Danny Garcia vs. Zab Judah done for January 19th

11/06/2012 by Boxing News

By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions has reportedly put together a fight between WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) and 35-year-old former two division world champion Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) on January 19th next year at a venue still to be determined, according to Golden Boy Promotions. The fight will be televised by Showtime.

For hardcore boxing fans this isn’t the fight that they were hoping the 25-year-old Garcia would take. Judah is way past his prime and he was already destroyed by Garcia’s knockout victim Amir Khan last year in an easy 5th round knockout win. The hardcore fans realize that Judah stands no chance of wining this fight and will simply get knocked out without making a fight of it.

Khan wants Danny Garcia rematch after Molina

11/04/201211/03/2012 by Boxing News

By William Mackay: Former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-3, 18 KO’s) says he’ll be looking to get a quick rematch against his recent conqueror WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) next year once Khan gets past his Golden Boy chosen opponent lightweight Carlos Molina (17-0, 7 KO’s) on December 15th at the Sports Arena, in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Khan told Radio Raheem at Maxboxing.com “I asked for the rematch [with Danny Garcia] but they didn’t want one. Hopefully Golden Boy can get me that rematch next year after the Molina fight.”
