Anthony Peterson vs. Javier Jauregui

2008-08-22T17:01:38Z

Slotff:

<fight>1327005</fight>
==Bout Summary==
Peterson controlled the action behind his jab, which allowed him to up clean punches throughout. Jauregui was more than willing to take punches to land his own, but could not connect enough or hurt Peterson to pull the fight in his favour. Jauregui appeared to wobble briefly in round 10 from a counter hook. Despite that Peterson was the clear winner, the lop-sided scores do not represent the competitive nature of the fight.

Zab Judah

Slotff:

[[file:Judah.jpg|Zab Judah|left]]
<boxer>006945</boxer>
'''Manager:''' [[Lou Duva]] 
'''Trainer''': [[Yoel Judah]]

 
*Of Hebrew heritage
*Son of [[Yoel Judah]]
*Brother of [[Daniel Judah]] and [[Josiah Judah]]

On February 05, 2005, Judah became the undisputed Welterweight champion, with a [[Fight:874964|9th round TKO]] of reigning champ, [[Cory Spinks]], in Spinks's hometown of St.Louis, Missouri. He would lose those titles, in his own hometown, on January 07, 2006, when he suffered a [[Fight:1035909|unanimous decision]] upset loss to WBC mandatory challenger, [[Carlos Manuel Baldomir]]. Baldomir only won the WBC title, as he only paid the sanctioning fee for that organizations title. It was widely believed that Judah's WBA and IBF titles were automatically vacated as a result of the loss, as has been the custom in similar situations, like [[Lloyd Honeyghan|Lloyd Honeyghan's]] loss to [[Jorge Vaca]]. However, on January 19, IBF championship chairman Lindsey Tucker told FightNews that Judah was still the organization's champion, as they like the WBA did not recognize the bout as a title match, however they did not choose to vacate the title as the WBA had done.

The loss also would have appeared to have cost Judah the opportunity to face widely recognized pound-for-pound king [[Floyd Mayweather, Jr.]] in a big pay-per-view showdown later in the spring of 2006. However, on January 20th, [[Bob Arum]] and [[Don King]] announced that the two would meet on April 8, 2006 in a HBO Pay-Per-View show, with Judah's IBF Welterweight Title on the line. Though Judah would start well in his match with Mayweather, Mayweather would take control of the fight in the 2nd half to win a comfortable unanimous decision. The bout was highlighted by a controversial 10th round incident in which Judah landed a low blow on Mayweather, followed by a rabbit punch. This prompted Mayweather's trainer [[Roger Mayweather]] to enter the ring to go after Judah. Controversy over Roger Mayweather's actions prompted the IBF on April 18th, to order an immdeiate rematch betweeen Mayweather and Judah by August 8th. Judah's prospects for a rematch appear unlikely as Mayweather and his promoter [[Bob Arum]], have expressed interest in matching Mayweather with WBO Welterweight champion [[Antonio Margarito]].
