Judah has always been a favorite of IBF. When he lost to Baldy he was allowed to keep his IBF title after Baldy didnt pay the sanctioning fee. He should've been stripped of it (Like Mosley was after losing to Floyd). Looks like Zab is going to pick up a trinket.


Ali, you're a fool for having Margo as your avatar.

Sorry, those gym notes have brought back my love for Tony.

BTW when did Alexander vacate his IBF belt ? this is another high profile fight where the IBF don't want any part of.

Clottey vs Cotto, Malignaggi vs Hatton etc.

IBF also stripped Plasterito when he decided to fight Cotto.

I believe the IBF is giving Alexander to mid December to fight Mabuza otherwise they'll strip him.

Judan, Matthysee and Mabuza are far from good fighters

As long its a good match up, Im for it

We'll see how much Judah has left vs Lucas

See how legit this run at 140 is

What a joke, you'd think the IBF would want their title around the #1 guy in the division.
