Will Brooklyn Be In The House When Judah Faces Garcia?

April 18, 2013 By Ja Dawes

The literal answer to the question in the article title is "without a doubt," with the fight taking place at the Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn.

The question is whether the answer will be figurative as well. 

And that's the rub anytime you're talking about Zab "Super" Judah (42-7, 29 KO's). He always seems poised to upset the apple cart. In this case, the favored junior welterweight titlist Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO's) is carrying the apples.

The problem for Judah is that Garcia is also carrying younger legs, a seemingly sturdier chin (although it's barely been tested) and an undefeated record.

What Judah has going for him is an impressive fight resume, littered with a proverbial "who's who" of boxers, from Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto to Kostya Tszyu and Cory Spinks. However, as sparkiling as Judah's "boxing CV" is, the problem is that he's a collective 1-4 against the fighters that I just named.

And to make matters worse, the one fighter that he and Garcia have in common (Amir Khan), their respective fight outcomes couldn't have been more different.

Garcia's career highlight came against Khan last summer via a fourth-round technical knockout victory. Judah lost to Khan about a year before that via fifth-round knockout.

Based somewhat on the "Khan outcome" factor, but largely because Danny Garcia is the younger, fresher and more confident fighter, look for him to win a clear-cut decision over Zab Judah when they meet in Judah's backyard in a couple of weeks.
