Judah stopped by Clottey VIDEO review

04.08.08

Despite boxing Clottey's head off in the opening rounds with fast hands and deft footwork, Zab Judah (36-6, 25 ko)was beaten Saturday nights at the Palm springs resort in Las Vegas at the weekend.

Clottey (35-2, 21 ko) gained a unanimous technical decision after an accidental clash of heads opened a deep cut over Judah's right eye and put the fight's outcome in the hands of the judges.

The scores were recorded as follows:- Duane Ford 87-84 George Hill 86-85 Glenn Trowbridge 86-85 all in favour of Ghana's Clottey.

Many boxing fans across internet forums allege that Judah could actually see the number of fingers held up by Dr Game at ringside, but decided that if it went to the scorecards he could win the fight that way.

"I gave him the visual check three different times and he could not identify whether it was three fingers or two fingers,'' Game said. "The reason he couldn't see had nothing to do with the blood. I had removed the blood. But he insisted he could not see."

The Welterweight division has become ever more interesting, with the KO of Miguel Cotto last month and now Judah looking at the end of his future himself, we are seeing the emergence of new dominant forces in Margarito and Clottey.

It is not known yet who the two new champions will fight next, nor if they will rematch their last fight where Antonio decisioned Joshua. It is anticipated that Clottey will seek a fight with poster-boy Andre Berto whilst Margarito will take a break.
