Zab Judah/Matthysse

Anybody capping this fight.  I know nothing about Judah's opponent.  Would you say he's a B type fighter.  Judah looked like he got his act together in his last fight, but that was on Friday night fights.  Judah worth putting in a parlay? Thanks.

JUDAH is  a very good offensive fighter and  one of the best in the world at k.o. over matched opponents, expect an early round for ZAB in this one

Line opened at over -300 now quickly down to -175, not sure what thats all about but im staying away..

Got tape on Matthysse. I did research on him for the Vivian Harris fight. If my memory serves correct, he's not as good as his record reflects. I think he's pretty much only fought in Argentina? I'll recheck what I got, expect an update.

I will be checking footage on him also, Zab looks good at 140, carries the power from 147 speed and everything else.

I think Zab may have hit the Gold mine in this division, but he is the king of losing when favored and when things are going his way.

Something about Brooklyn Fighters from Brownsville they seem to implode when they have a golden opportunity.

                                     

Dog @ +135

Matthese is not some slow bum. He's pretty athletic and his power is for real. But he's never faced anyone like Zab.

Looking forward to your insight Mcnulty. Thanks for the other replies.

I was @ the press conference and Zab is full of confidence and looks very good to me.
Lucas did have few fights in USA (Vegas, Texas) against very weak fighters.
He crushed V. Harris but Harris was totally out of shape and washed up.
I see this fight as a KO for Judah with a nice counter that Lucas wont even see.

Anyone else going to this fight?  Let's grab a beer!

Over 8.5

Judah's last fight was on ESPN Friday night fights.

Just rewatched 4 of Matthysse's fights as well as Judah's last 2...

No idea why that showed up as a quote, ^ is my post.

Side notes:

This place needs an post edit function...

Judah is overated and will LOSE this fight

He put his two cents on it. That is all.

THANKS ON THE INSIGHT GUYS. AND THANKS FOR THE INFORMATIVE POSTS MCNUTY.

IF THE FIGHT IS IN THE PRUDENTIAL CENTER IN NEWARK, NEW JERSEY THEN IT'S LIKE A HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE FOR JUDAH. BROOKLYN AND NYC IS JUST ACROSS THE RIVER VIA TWO TUNNELS.

I'M GOING TO PLACE A LITTLE BET BACKING JUDAH AS A FAVE.

DO YOU GUYS THINK THIS WILL OG OVER OR UNDER 8.5 ROUNDS?

Won quite a nice chunk on the Zab Decision, but let's be serious here...

He. Did. NOT. Win. That. Fight.

Period.

The locale of the fight, IMO, saved Zab 100%.

Actually correct on both accounts.  The Argentine beat his ass.

Food for thought:

To have a score of 115-112 for Judah (one judge's tally), you have to have done one of the following:

1. Given Judah all of the first 8 rounds

OR

2. Given Judah some of the last 4

Which to me seems impossible on both sides.

Matthysse absolutely beat him down the last 3rd of the fight, sweeping the last 4 rounds plus a knockdown.

I personally gave Matthysse rounds, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
