Zab Judah vs Lucas Matthysse - Who R U Picking?

Zab wants us to believe his run at 140 is legit, so far KO'd former light weight Jose Santa Cruz, now takes on Lucas Matthysse who many of us just know him from this fight with Vivian Harris

I like Zab as a boxer. he is entertaining and a good guy outside of miami I don't know the other guy

Looks like an aggressive brawler, if his pop is legit, I can see him giving Judah problems all night

Seems like he'll be putting pressure on Zab from the get go

Top notch marketing!

I think Guerrero vs Escobedo may steal the show.

I would be very disappointed if Guerrero doesnt put away Escrubedo in under 9

lol Diego never gives up hope for Guerrero

I got Zab. He seems to be more serious this time around and more focused. I think Main Events knows he can make waves in that division as well.

I haven't seen any of Matthysse's fights to give a fair judgement, but I am rooting for Judah.

+1

I'm going based on who his promoters are putting him up against knowing that they want him to get a shot at any of the top four in that division. They must think he has some steam left and the potential to earn them money, so I'll go with their assessment.

I think the difference in this fight is heart. Zab gives up if he doesn't get his way. Matthysse will weather the early storm & wear him down. Matthysse by KO9.

Interesting take, I like it. I'll e-bet you nothing that Zabdiel wins big.

The ATG Carlos "Tata" Baldomir feels the same way

"Lucas is stronger than me and has the power to hurt Zab at any point during the fight," said Baldomir. "I think he will eventually knock him out if he takes control of fight from the first round. He has the power and heart to be victorious on November 6

I'll take Zab Judah. Always felt he didn't belong at 147 and I'm glad he went back down to 140. I think Zab can be a serious threat at 140 as long as he stays focused on boxing. His experience banging with the bigger guys at 147 will serve him well in my opinion.

I think these guys are going to be in for a surprise at 140 pounds if they get in the ring with Judah. Still a very dangerous fighter, especially at 140. I could see Judah wrecking Devon Alexander for example. Just IMO.
