Mosley/Judah Off
LOS ANGELES (May 8) – The scheduled May 31 fight between Shane Mosley and Zab Judah has been canceled due to an arm injury suffered by Judah during his Las Vegas training camp it was announced by Golden Boy Promotions today. The HBO Pay-Per-View event was scheduled to take place at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Judah suffered multiple severe lacerations on his right forearm and received 50 stitches to close the wounds suffered in an accidental fall. As a result, Judah will be unable to train for four weeks and was forced to withdraw from the bout.
"It is very unfortunate that Zab suffered this injury and that this great event had to be canceled," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "We are already in discussions with all parties involved to attempt to reschedule the fight for the near future."
Tickets purchased for this event may be refunded at the original point of purchase.

Bull! Zab Judah didn't have "an accidental fall." I am not from the hood, barrio, of ghettoes, but I've been schooled by cool cats from those places about what goes on and that form of life. I smell a rat. Sombody cut his a$$ is all over this. Judah probably thought his found someone who he could beat -- his woman. He tried to take it, and she cut him. Or, since Joy Mayweather Sr is working with Judah, maybe he did it. The poet wannabe doesn't surprise me about anything. Maybe, he and Zab got into a quarrel. Pops Mayweather snapped and cut Judah, and called out pops Judah, so that he could cut him, too for tagging Uncle Roger. The modern-day boxing game is full of threatre of the unexpected. I hope that the truth comes out about who cut Judah! Maybe Golden Boy cut him, after realizing that this bout was not going to do well with PPV. Or maybe Zab laughed at Golden Boy for getting busted up in the face by Mayweather lite -- Forbes -- and Oscar snapped and used an East LA razor on his arsh. Now call Spike Lee to do a movie on: "Who cut zab? The maid? The dog? A Mayweather? Zab's pops?" I'm loving it. What a great movie! Holla!

well we all know that zab gets distracted by too many things outside the ring. I dont want to jump to conclusions and I'd like to know what exactly happened. i dont understand why they wouldn't disclose what 'accident' he had. I'd like to know what he fell on during training camp that would cut him to the point of needing 50 stitches though. HEY RADAM G dont be so suspicious, maybe he fell down while shaving

'Bout time he fell off his high horse. Man, deepwaters, I could watch that Tszyu ko every day for a year and still laugh myself silly. Still, look on the bright side, at least his knuts are okay this time.

I'm more upset about the Valuev - Chagaev postponement. I could take or leave this one, but I want to see the gargantuan Russian get the strap back and then knock Klitschko out.

No Judah...no problem! The welterweight division is stacked up with talent. Let's see...can anyone say, Joshua Clottey on regular HBO? I would like to see that fight. Or how about the young up and comer Jackson Bonsu? Or maybe Demetrius Hopkins feels a little froggy? After all...it's all good in Golden Boy!

In the hood nobody's going to cut your arm. They wouldve went for his face and gave him a "buck 50". So you'll can rule that out, unless they was going for his face and he put his arm up to block. Its a shame because I was looking forward to seeing if my boy Zab can get his career back on the right track. I dont think he can do it against Mosley tho. Everybody in ny is always let down by Zab. I know I am, but every fight I hope he pull it together. Maybe this is a another sign that he need to hang it up. Hopefully he still trains and stay in shape as much as he can even with the injury. And he need to stay out them videos

Zab musta been faded, fell thru a glass shower door and busted his arm up! 50 stitches! Thats f'n crazy. I'm w/you Nuckle, like to see what Supa Judah has got left in the tank and if he turn his career around -- he has the talent to do so, but disappointed so far.

He must of been shadow boxing in the shower, then a possible Tszyu backfalsh could've happened. Who knows? The thing is that the fight was going to be good but not good enough for PPV.

The first thought is how many tickets were sold thus far. Maybe they have a formula where they can estimate how many tickets sales equals to potential PPV sales and the numbers didn't add up! How about they get Cintron to fight with Mosley ?

Lol..The local Psychaitric Unit just informed me Zab self harmed, knew he hasnt got much to offer the welters and spiralled into a deep depression, he were gonna take it out on his woman but she beat him with her handbag so instead he started cutting himself, his precision was out, multiple lacerations and he still couldnt get his wrists.

"It Takes A Special Man"
"It takes a special man to lace them on and step into a ring to either hurt or be hurt. It's always been my opinion that the greatest fighters (not necessarily the most commercially successful) are probably born with that never give up until I'm completely done attitude. It can be nurtured over time, but you either have it or you don't. When adversity hits, and it will, this instinct will allow you to reach inside for additional strength and determination. Ali, Louis, Gatti, Corrales had it....Marquez and Pacquiao have it. De La Hoya, for all the great things he did as a boxer never had it, Tyson didn't have It, Cotto doesn't have it, and as much as I hate to admit it because I loved to watch him fight, Chavez didn't have it. 99.9% of us don't have it either. That's why we're not all fighters and we can sit here and judge these courageous men from the comfort of our computers."
