Jesse Cox sees Mayweather-Judah going to distance

I hate to drag up the past, but I’m going to do it anyway: Carlos Baldomir – are you serious?! Zab Judah, according to my personal predictions based on actually watching Baldomir fight one of the more lackluster bouts in Chicago last summer, should have destroyed this guy and retained his belts – that’s a plural, folks. The rest of the civilized world paying attention had jumped on the common sense bus when it came to Judah dismantling Baldomir. Baldomir instead works over Judah, but only wants to pay for one of three belts and we’re all incredibly confused. To clear the air, Judah puts the loss on performing Don King’s job in making special appearances and having to take phone calls. Good thing he’s not doing any of that this time around. He’s hiding out in the gym, concentrating on Floyd Mayweather Jr. Answering questions could ruin the whole thing. I’m assuming squeaky cat toys are banned from the gym as well, lest Zab blow off his state of mind to frolic with a rubber mouse on the floor. No matter of hiding or “focus” in the gym is going to bring Judah to Mayweather’s level. It’s unanimous for “Pretty Boy” after 12. Now what was I saying?
