Floyd Mayweather, Jr. W12 Zab Judah... Floyd Mayweather, Jr. proved again why he is the best boxer in the world by defeating former world welterweight Champion Zab Judah by unanimous decision. Judah controlled the fight early, and was very accurate with heavy punches through the first three or four rounds. Judah hurt Mayweather, perhaps worse than he has ever been hurt his career, in round four with his straight left, and Mayweather went to the ropes. Pretty Boy Floyd weathered the storm like the great fighter he is and from round five on, he dominated the fight with brilliant accuracy, and speed going to Judah's head and body over and over. Judah took the punches very well and never seemed badly hurt, but he was starting to tire as the bout wore on and the accumulation of Mayweather's punches seemed to be having some effect. Judah was taking a beating and was bleeding from his nose and mouth, when, just before the end of round ten, Judah hit Mayweather with a low blow, and then hit him with a shot behind the head. Mayweather's uncle and trainer Roger Mayweather jumped in to the ring to attack Judah and a melee ensued between the two camps. Order was restored quickly and the fight was finished without further incident. Judah offered no excuses after the fight. With the win, Mayweather picks up the IBF welterweight title, meaningless except for the fact that he has now won titles in four weight classes. He improves to 36-0 with 24 KOs, while Judah falls to 34-4 with 25 KOs.
