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.
That’s pretty much the only reason I can see why Judah was given the fight by Golden Boy Promotions, that and because he’s arguably much less of a threat than the guy Garcia should be fighting right now interim WBC light welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse.
