Joey Knish: Mormeck a tough cookie

By TSS Predictions January 4th, 2006

Unless Zab Judah looks past Carlos Baldomir to a potential fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., I see Judah being too fast and too strong for the limited Baldomir. Judah is blessed with so much natural talent the question is only HOW he beats a fighter with 9 losses and 6 draws on his record (Carlos Baldomir). Baldomir doesn’t have much power and throws wide shots which leave his solid chin exposed. Defensively his chin has saved him in the past, but it won’t be enough as Judah overwhelms him to help sell the superfight against Floyd. With a good chin but questionable defense it says here that Judah gets a stoppage win on cuts or an unanswered barrage that forces a referee’s stoppage … Mormeck vs. Bell is an awesome fight on paper and it should be an excellent one in the ring. Neither fighter knows how to take a backward step and to call either a defensive wiz would be a stretch. Bell has been stopped and dropped in the past but has demonstrated great courage and heart in winning tough fights. Mormeck is a tough cookie who seems to thrive as fights wear on and his opponents get weaker. It will be bombs away as the two end up trading; boxing fans win, but I think Bell losses.
