12 rounds of boxing (or less) Saturday night at the Palms Casino and Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada HBO ! 8 bouts on the card (or less) , my first fight at the Palms and 50th venue to cover boxing in Las Vegas, I am excited. I am not excited that Zab Judah is still on the face of the earth or his dad, traner Joel, both Las Vegas Nevada Atletic Commission convicted of extremely bad behavior. The press conference Thursday the usual circus to include Mike Tyson, Iran Barkley and dozens of black children.....WHAT ? Anyway neither fighter speaks English (or at least the English I was taught by aunt Mable in Verdigre, Nebraska or that taught to me during 53 hours of college speech at the University of South Dakota.....what we got Thursday, inaudible....but expected.
Clottey a three to one favorite, 34-2, sixth rated in the world among 1368 welterweights, 227 rounds boxed 54% KO'S. Clottey has lost only to Baldomir and Margarito ! Judah when not falling thru glass barriers or attempting to assault referees is 36-5 with 25 KO'S...12th in the world he has fought 238 rounds with 58% KO'S...losing to Mayweather, Baldimor, Spinks, Cotto and Tskyu...in reality both have only lost to studs.......I am still unconvinced Judah can fight and I cannot remeber Clottey last fighting here...makes for a great contest of the unknown !!!
Lets get it ON ! ! !
