Amir Khan Stops Zab Judah in Five Rounds Amir Khan totally outclassed Zab Judah tonight in Las Vegas, and scored a fifth round knockout on a body shot. Judah (41-7, 28 KO) complained that the punch was a low blow, but most seem to feel, as I do, that it was Judah looking for a way out, a somewhat familiar page from the Zab Judah playbook that we've seen in past losses to top fighters. Khan (26-1, 18 KO) was far more active than Judah, landed all the best punches of the fight, and clearly flustered Judah early and often. It appeared that once Judah got a taste of Khan's hand speed, he was lost in the ring. He created no offense, and the exaggerated "comeback" of Zab Judah was proven to be little more than a marketing tool. Khan proved that he's no Kaizer Mabuza tonight, and Judah proved that he's no Zab Judah. Read more: www.badlefthook.com/2011/7/23/2290598/amir-khan-vs-zab-judah-results-knockout-low-blow

Round one began with Amir Khan establishing his jab. Unlike previous bouts, Khan mixed up his arsenal by shooting several jabs downstairs. The punch kept Judah defensive, allowing Khan to land with a solid straight right. Judah, looking for big counters, caught Khan with a head-snapping right hook. Khan took it well and continued pressing forward, causing an accidental head butt which had Judah blinking heavily as the round ended.

See Pics!!! Amir Khan stops Zab Judah inside of five rounds at the Mandalay Bay Amir Khan stops Zab Judah with borderline body shot to unify belts Amir Khan stops Judah in 5, proves he’s at the level of Pacquiao and Mayweather Amir “King” Khan proved why he holds the throne in the 140-pound weight division by stopping Zab Judah a slick veteran fighter and holder of the IBF light-welterweight title in 5 rounds with a body shot. I remember before ever watching Amir Khan box, that I thought Zab Judah was the fastest fighter I ever seen, but when Khan and Judah stepped in the ring tonight, it was clear as day that Khan’s speed was too much for Zab Judah. Khan Vs. Judah Results: Amir Stops Zab In Five Amir Khan met a big name opponent in Zab Judah in the Mandalay Bay, but many hardcore boxing fans knew coming in that Judah was a man who never beat elite opponents when given the chance. Through the first four rounds of the bout that narrative was proven correct. Khan was simply too big and too talented for Judah throughout the bout. The constant aggression of Amir left Judah playing defense and never looking for more than one big fight changing shot. Amir Khan speed turns Zab Judah into ghost stopping American in five one-sided rounds Amir Khan this morning added the IBF 140lbs belt to his WBA version of the world title with a one-sided domination of American Zab Judah, stopping the multiple-world champion in the fifth round with a right to the head and a follow-up right to the midriff on the waistbelt line in 2:47 of that round. Judah went down as if it were a low blow – and never got up. Judah, who looked old, slow and overly defensive, was never in the fight. Referee Vic Drakulich counted Judah out into his ear. Khan won the four previous rounds by a tidy margin. Khan landed 61 of 284 punches; Judah landed 20 of 115 punches thrown. Too much vim, too young, and clearly, too quick. There are times when Khan looks vulnerable still, and overthrows his combinations, but he did nothing wrong here. And certainly was not guilty of a low blow. It looked on the margins, and no doubt it will be debated, by one side and the other.
