Place your bets!

I dont wanna see an 8th!!! fight between these two, so I hope Guzman will win a UD. And I also pick Guzman to win the fight.

Cant like Muckles Reilly and Tony Palomino

Reilly is one of the best fighters I've ever had at Krumbsnatcher but his predicament is the same as Tony Palomino's. There is a bloody good champion standing in his way!

To have a hope of winning this fight Reilly needs a new fight plan, a new strategy. He needs to up his game just like Guzman did in the last fight between the two of them. I won't vote on a winner until I've made a new fight plan....

It could go either way. All I know is Zab would knock both of them in the same night if they came to his hometown Brooklyn.

Guzman did a Calzaghe with a touch of Deep Freeze added into the mix. He slapped his way to a clear points lead and then ran away for the remaining rounds to get the clear verdict.

Fighters from Team Judah praise Guzman.

Paul Malignaggi: Guzman is the p4p king, without a doubt!!!
Jabdiel Judah: He is king.
Terry Norris: He was a mentor of mine. He had a BS losses to Cotto and Ricardo Reyes. He would kill Cotto.
Zab Judah: he ain't neva really gon' be as hard as me, but he is the best today!
