Matthysse on the brink of fame if he beats Judah

By Jason Kim: Undefeated light welterweight knockout artist Lucas Martin Matthysse (27-0, 25 KO’s) could find himself as one of boxing’s hottest commodities if he can take out former two division world champion Zab Judah (39-6, 27 KO’s) tonight in their fight at the Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey.

Will Matthysse put Judah out of his misery?

By Jim Dower: 33-year-old Zab Judah (39-6, 27 KO’s) has a tough task ahead of him on Saturday night against number 3 ranked World Boxing Organization light welterweight contender Lucas Martin Matthysse (27-0, 25 KO’s) in a 12 round bout at the Prudential Center, in Newark, New Jersey.

Beating both Matthysse and Mabuza are going to be formidable tasks for the 33-year-old Judah because it’s been five years since Judah beat a top fighter.

Judah-Matthysse: Zab says he doesn’t plan on getting tired

By Jim Dower: Former two division world champion Zab Judah (39-6, 27 KO’s) faces his biggest test in over two years when he goes up against #3 ranked World Boxing Organization (WBO) light welterweight contender unbeaten Lucas Martin Matthysse (27-0, 25 KO’s) in a 12 round bout for the IBF & WBO-140 lb eliminator for the #2-spot at the Prudential Center, in Newark, New Jersey. This is a fight that Judah, 33, cannot afford to lose if he wants to get a shot against one of the light welterweight champions in the division. Matthysse, 28, has very real power and good offensive weapons.
