Khan fight is Judah's last shot at the top
A small crowd of about 100 onlookers has gathered in the lobby of the posh Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino to see what the fuss is about, as photographers rush toward a limousine that sidles up to the front door.
Boxer Zab Judah emerges with a group of six or seven men. There is no shouting, as there often is at these staged “arrival” ceremonies. Judah is scheduled to fight British star Amir Khan in the hotel’s events center on Saturday in a 140-pound title unification bout being broadcast on HBO; promoters are desperate to drum up some interest and sell a few tickets.
As boxing entrances go, this one is fairly dignified. There is no ear-splitting music. Judah isn’t adorned head to toe with bling. He smiles wanly, his son at his side, as a fan shouts “Super Judah!” As the photographers click away, Judah briefly raises his index finger before quietly ascending onto a small stage, where a gaggle of television reporters await him.
Judah is a 33-year-old man with a long, notorious history in Las Vegas. In 2001, when he was just 24, he was loud, boastful and arrogant as he entered the MGM Grand to prepare to fight Kostya Tszyu for the undisputed 140-pound championship. Judah not only was knocked out in the second round that night, but he lost his cool when the bout was stopped. He shoved his gloved fist into referee Jay Nady’s throat and, in a fit of rage, hurled a stool.
For that, the Nevada Athletic Commission suspended him for six months and fined him $75,000.
Five years later, he returned to Las Vegas for another massive fight. This time, he was facing Floyd Mayweather Jr., widely recognized at the time as the sport’s best pound-for-pound fighter, for a welterweight belt.
Judah was doing surprisingly well in the early going, and there was a palpable sense in the arena that a massive upset was brewing. Inexplicably, though, Judah seemed to lose his composure as Mayweather increased the pressure. In the 10th round, as Mayweather trainer Roger Mayweather entered the ring to complain about a foul, Judah’s father, Yoel – who was his trainer – entered the ring and fired a punch at Roger Mayweather.
A wild brawl ensued, with Zab Judah gleefully getting involved. All the while, Floyd Mayweather Jr. moved to a neutral corner, calmly avoiding the brawl while waiting for order to be restored.
For Zab Judah’s role in that, Nevada boxing officials smacked him with a $250,000 fine and revoked his boxing license.

On paper, Khan-Judah had everything I want in a Vegas fight. Two guys with questionable chins, an older southpaw lion vs. a young right-handed lion, two belts and the potential for a super-fight with Manny Pacquiao or Mayweather on the line.
