At 9pm EDT from Newark, former welterweight champ Zab Judah is back in action against former lightweight contender Jose Armando Santa Cruz in the main event of Friday Night Fights on ESPN2. We'll have live, round-by-round coverage.
After Friday Night Fights, we'll switch over for the triple-header on Showtime featuring unbeaten middleweight prospect Fernando Guerrero against Ishe Smith in the main event. Shawn Porter is making his debut at welterweight on the same card against Ray Robinson, and unbeaten welters Lanard Lane and Mike Dallas Jr. will square off in the opening bout.
Join us tonight!

Looking forward to tonight
Have to work all weekend, but can take one set of fights off. This will be the one for me – will catch the others on DVR later I guess, even though I think Bradley-Abregu might be of the entertaining blowout variety.

Glad to see this on ESPN rather than on PPV
Even though I’m from across the pond, a sigh of relief came when Judah finally took some form of a challenge on free TV that people can actually watch him.
He’ll be tentative tonight, call out the big names, tell everyone he’s a light welter for good, and then stay inactive for another eight months…
I'm looking forward to tonight too.
Except for the endless nonsense on ESPN leading up to the actual fight.

Any news on Mayweather-Pac?
The “signing deadline” is almost here isn’t it? I thought they were waiting to break the news of the signing on primetime. This moment shall pass like all the others.
there's going to be a conference call at 3am EDT
Seriously. 3am EDT. So 2am my time. So I have to stay up, tired as shit, to get the “big news.”

This is a weekly routine for me...
To catch the fights on HBO, I need to stay up until stupid o’clock…
Usually I am up really late, but I’m EXTREMELY tired today as I haven’t slept much in the last week (been sick) and was really looking forward to watching the fights, maybe playing a video game for a bit, and hitting the hay at a human time. No dice. God fuck it all. The real problem isn’t staying up until 3:30 or so, it’s that I’ll then stay up until 6.

Next Week: Shumenov vs. Uzelkov on FNF

That could actually be a really good fight
Two guys with chins who have little regard for defense. Uzelkov cares slightly more about it though, so I’m picking him to win.

But Zab looks really good so far

He also looks a lot like recent Roy Jones when he fights overmatched opponents

Judah-Santa Cruz R1
Santa Cruz looks really, really soft up at this weight. And really awkward. Judah is moving very well because he clearly is aware he has no challenge in front of him. I know that sounds like I’m just hating on Zab, but you look at this and tell me differently. Santa Cruz looks awful physically. And I think JASC has a farmer’s tan, which is very rare in boxing.
Judah using his jab, landing to the body, again he’s moving well…I don’t know. There’s not a ton to say. They’re already worried about the heads coming together so if this turns out like the Galvan mess I’m gonna LOSE IT
Judah 10-9

For a while, he pretty clearly had the fastest hands in boxing
He was easily faster than Mayweather when they fought

"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
It was actually remarkable how he could beat Mayweather to the punch
I think Khan’s current speed, and Judah’s at his prime, are comparable. I find it very hard to see whose is better.

Judah-Santa Cruz R2
Zab ain’t lost his speed. Not as fast as he used to be, but still extremely fast. JASC is trying and Zab isn’t throwing as much as you might like for the first couple minutes of this round. He then throws two straight four-punch combinations. Not much of it got in but the last left hand definitely poked through. Good right hook to the body by Zab hurts Santa Cruz. He made a face like that gave him gas pains.
Judah 10-9

In true hater fashion, I will still go ahead and hate on! I will, as a HATER would do, still not consider Zab Judah fully “back” until he beats someone good. What a sack of crap I am!
Zab carrying around belts he doesn’t hold is still hilarious to me. It says so much about Zab Judah that really, I could never say anything about Zab ever again, and he’s saying it for me.

At this point, with Dallas clearly winning and not being a bad prospect himself
Might Menefee actually try talking up Dallas a hair?
I guess at least he’s not Gus Johnson.

Second fight might be short. Ray Robinson has shown chin issues. Then again, it also might not be. Neither fighter has ever been down.

They show a slow motion instant replay
Of Lane missing 7 shots in a row.
Lane won it on aggression, but mostly because Dallas took the round off. 69-65 Dallas

Lane 10-9

Porter has looked less and less impressive the further he gets along the ranks
One of the few amateurs to beat Danny Jacobs. Probably was the top American amateur for a while. And he’s still only 22.

DreD has a decent shot at upsetting DreW.
But I hope he doesn’t, because I think Ward is the better fighter all around, and I like him more personally.
But style-wise it’s a tough fight for Ward, imho. In fact, I think Ward has a tougher time with Dirrell than he will with Bute. But I think he wins against both.

Teddy says Porter 10-http://www.badlefthook.com/2010/7/16/1573706/bad-left-hook-live-boxing-results#422488449
but the other guy says 10-9 Robinson, so you’re guess is as good as mine.

Robinson down

Robinson was hurt the entire rest of the round
But Porter was coming in too close and wasn’t able to get any leverage, and allowing Robinson to tie up.
10-8 Porter.

Me too, I think, but not very strongly. I think he’s not really a great prospect so him being knocked off before he gets a major fight would be a plus, but he is exciting and I don’t like Smith. Go Guerrero. Does that make sense?
yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at too
