Judahs Con On Conference Call
By Uncategorized May 23rd, 2007Today’s “Zab” Judah media conference call was too good to be true. It started on time. Media attendance was record-breaking. Oh, and the trainer, formerly known as Zab during the call, was, in reality, his father and trainer, YOEL Judah.
Shades of Clifford Irving!
Yes, the call was a plain old-fashioned hoax.
“Mea culpa,” said a still-stunned Lee Samuels, boss-publicist for promoter Top Rank. “I called Zab’s number 10 minutes ahead to make sure he would be ready and I assumed the person I was talking to was Zab. I’ve been doing conference calls for Top Rank since 1982 and I’ve NEVER been snookered like this before. I would have made a lousy contestant on the game show “To Tell The Truth.” But I do apologize to the media for this.”
Judah’s opponent, undefeated World Boxing Association welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, who hosts his own media conference call next Wednesday, May 30, at 3 P.M. ET / Noon PT was not surprised at all by Judah’s shenanigans.
“I’ve been saying all along that Judah was a fraud, this media conference call only confirmed it,” said Cotto from his training camp in Puerto Rico.

Hopefully Cotto can thrash this punk and we’ll never have to deal with his stool-throwing, ref-choking, riot-causing antics again.
Too bad Zab couldn’t control himself a little better because he had the tools to be a great one. It goes to show it’s not just speed and power, necessarily, that make a great figther as much as heart and determination. Thanks go out to Gatti, Corrales, Pacquiao, Barrera, both Marquezes, and Morales for their ample supply of the latter atributes.
