Unable to land a fight with one of the bigger talents in the light welterweight division, former International Boxing Federation light welterweight and undisputed welterweight champion Zab Judah (39-6, 27 KO’s) will have to be content to face little known 37-year-old Michael Clark (40-5-1, 18 KO’s) on October 2nd, at the Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey. According to reports, his promoter Kathy Duva attempted to line up fights for Judah against Juan Urango, Victor Cayo, Paulie Malignaggi, Lucas Matthysse, Julio Diaz, Kendall Holt and Joel Casamayor but got no takers. Judah needs a tune-up fight before he goes after one of the big names in the light welterweight division. However, Judah may have looked too impressive in his last fight, a 3rd round TKO of Jose Armando Santa Cruz, for his own good. Judah destroyed Santa Cruz with a huge left uppercut in the 3rd, and showed massive power and speed all the way through the fight. Now that Judah is fighting at light welterweight, he looks much faster and stronger compared to when he was campaigning as a welterweight. Currently, Judah is ranked #5 WBA, #6 IBF and #11 WBC. He’s probably not going to get a shot at one of the champions anytime soon, though, because Judah may be seen as someone who is too dangerous to fight.
