KHAN-JUDAH AND UNDERCARDS COMPLETE RESULTS (WITH PHOTOS)


PhilBoxing.com




Las Vegas, NV:- Golden Boy Promotions' eight fight card show at the Mandalay Bay Events Center this evening was as good as it was hyped. And, the main event ended just as everyone thought it would? by stoppage.

The only bummer at the end was the fact that, Zab Judah refused to admit that he was beaten fair and square by a better fighter.

Zudah (46-7-0, 28KO) all of a sudden grew old in the ring. He can?t find anything to match the speed of Amir Khan (26-1-0, 18KO) and the ability of the Brit to move around the ring. Judah did not win a round. Team Khan obviously knew that the best way to beat speed is with faster speed. That is exactly what Khan did and he won the fight.

Khan hit Judah twice before the fateful ending. First he hit him square on the face followed by a short right hand to the mid-section that brought Judah down on his hands and knees. Judah later claimed the second punch was a low blow. (The TV replay showed otherwise).

Referee Vic Drakulich ruled otherwise and counted him out as he was down on the canvas. After the count, Judah protested but the fight was over and he can?t do anything about it. Time: 2:47 of round 5.

From many people?s perspective, Judah could have easily risen from the perceived ?low blow? delivered by Khan. But it appears it was a fine excuse for him to find an exit from the fight he knew he can never win. Khan, tonight was simply a class above him.



At the press conference, Judah and his Team continued to insist that Judah was hit by a low blow. Their comments were greeted by loud murmur from the crowd at the media room attending the post fight conference.

When asked about the fateful blow, Khan said that he knew it was a fair blow and left it at that.

In the supporting main event, Peter ?Kid Chocolate? Quillin (25-0-0, 19KO) of Brooklyn, New York beat Jason Lehoullier (21-6-1, 8KO) of Dover, New Hampshire, a late replacement for Travis Simms. Lehoullier?s corner asked for the fight to be stopped as it was fairly obvious that their fighter did not have a chance to win the fight. Time: 1:38 of round no. 5.


Quillin vs Lehoullier.

Gary Russell (17-0-0, 10KO) of Capitol Heights, Maryland kept his record clean with a good win over Eric Estrada (9-2-0, 3KO) of Chicago, Illinois. Estrada was as game as can be. He gave a good account of himself but unfortunately, the unbeaten Russell was just a better fighter. If fact, Russell dropped Estrada to the canvas once on round 7th. The scores from the three judges were all 80-71 for a UD win by Russell.


Gary Russell wins.

In a battle between two heavyweights, Byant Jennings (9-0-0, 4KO) of Philadelphia, PA also kept is record spotless with a win over Theron Johnson (5-6-0,1KO) of Chicago, Illinois Jennings won by a UD with the scores being 60-53, 60-53 and 59-54.


Jennings vs Johnson.

James Kirkland improved his record to 29-1-0, 26KO) of Austin, Texas by beating Alexis Hloros( 15-4-2, 11KO) of Mt. Clemens, Michigan via 2nd round KO. Time: 0:28 seconds of round 2.
Kirkland and Hloros exchanged tremendous shots from the get go with Kirkland dropping Hloros twice on the opening stanza. Hloros however survived the round. In round 2 Hloros was dropped again and referee Russell Mora waived the fight off.


Kirkland vs Hloros.

Ronny Rios of Santa Ana, CA improved his slate to 15-0-0,6KO with a KO win over journeyman Noe Lopez, Jr ( 8-9-0, 5KO) of Nogales, Mexico. All it took Rios was 1:12 to end the fight.


Rios vs Lopez.

Josiah Judah ( 10-1-1, 2KO) of Brooklyn, NY won over Rafal Jastrzebski ( 4-7-1, 1KO) of Bydgoszcz, Poland via a loudly booed 6 round majority decision. The scores were 57-57, 58-56 and 59-55.


J. Judah vs Rafal Jastrebski.

In the curtain raiser, Jamie Kavanagh (8-0-0, 3KO) of Hollywood, CA defeated Marcos Herrera 6-6-1, 2KO) of Arvada, Colorado via unanimous decision. The Freddie Roach trained Kavanagh stepped up the fight from round4 and eventually won by a UD. The scores were 59-54, 60-54, 60-53.


Kavanagh vs Herrera.


Richard Schaeffer announced at the post fight conference that the attendance was a bit over 7000. That was probably over blown as the arena did not seem to have that much people in attendance. In fact, many people from the higher (lower cost tickets) sections were upgraded free of charge to closer and better locations as they checked in with the ushers to find their seats.

People were moved to fill up the seats that are within the range of the TV shots. One of them was my son and his friends. Perhaps it was an effort to show on TV that there were lots of attendees when in reality, they were fewer than announced.
