Zab Judah Loses Fight But May Win the War

Let’s hope Paul Williams hasn’t read ESPN.com’s recap of the Joshua Clottey - Zab Judah fight. What does it say? That despite Judah’s loss he might be next in line for the recently lionized welterweight champ Antonio Margarito.
It seems that Clottey tore his bicep in the fifth round of that fight. That’s right, the […]

Zab Judah. Controversial Ending. You Don’t Say.

Last night on HBO welterweight Zab Judah added yet another disgraceful end to his litany of dubiousness. After impressively standing toe to toe with powerful Ghanian Joshua Clottey for eight rounds a cut was opened over Judah’s right eye in the ninth.
How that cut manifested itself became an object of contention. Multiple replays indicated […]

Live Chat With Zab Judah on ESPN.com

Who is Mrs. Jabandgrapple’s favorite boxer to watch? I’m going to hazard a guess and say Zab Judah. It’s not because she enjoys his flashy style or thinks he’s particularly handsome. No sir. For reasons that elude me she hates Super Judah with a passion. She loves to see him knocked out, made a fool […]

Trainer Says Shane Mosley Knowingly Juiced to Beat De La Hoya

Fight fans everywhere are feeling a huge Zab Judah putting his arm through glass-caused void in their Saturday night fight watching plans. OK, maybe not. I wasn’t planning to buy Zab’s pay-per-view bout against Shane Mosley and am relieved that I didn’t have any last minute pangs and pressures to do so.
That doesn’t mean […]

Zab Judah and the Shower, The Real Story Emerges

Last night a message appeared on my Comcast cable box. It read: You still have time to order this Saturday’s exciting welterweight pay-per-view event “Sugar” Shane Mosley vs. Zab “Super” Judah. I wonder what would happen if you did order the May 31 fight that was officially canceled almost three weeks ago because […]

HBO’s Night of the Bulldog: Flashy Gamboa

Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Darling Jimenez
Before the fight has even started Max Kellerman calls Yuriorkis Gamboa a “Mike Tyson or Jack Dempsey in miniature.” With all the hullabaloo surrounding this guy we half expect him to levitate to the ring, turn water to wine, and transform Primm into Las Vegas. Can the hype be real?
Well, he’s […]

Zab Judah Shatters Glass, Fight Postponed, Jaw OK

Do you remember Zab Judah’s wobbly 2001 first-round knockout from Kostya Tszyu? After getting flattened he immediately pounced back up only to have his legs and equilibrium double-cross him all while telling the ref he was OK. Imagine the same betrayal happening in a Las Vegas glass shower. Because those are the reports coming from […]
