Timothy Bradley refused to step up to the plate for whatever reason, so Khan's July HBO date fell to IBF 140 lb. titlist Judah. With both men having good power and questionable chins, this was a fight where any result seemed possible, but Khan, who entered the contest as a more than four-to-one favorite, proved he belongs among the very best fighters in the world with his impressive one-sided performance. He dominated the in-shape--both physically and psychologically--Judah from opening bell to the final contentious blow, and left the ring with both his own WBA 140 lb. belt and Zab's IBF version as well. The man with the other two major belts at 140? Timothy Bradley, of course.

Attack & Conquer: Amir Khan vs. Zab Judah

In one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, Carlos Baldomir stuns undisputed Welterweight Champion Zab Judah by winning a unanimous decision on Judah's home turf of New York. Judah tries to intimidate Baldomir by hitting him on the hip during Referee Arthur Mercante Jr.'s instructions and builds a lead over the first six rounds of the fight. Unfazed, Baldomir hurts Judah badly with a right hand in the seventh round and alters the course of the fight, out hustling the champion over the second half of the bout. In a sickening display, only the WBC recognizes Baldomir's win while the IBF claims that Baldomir had been unwilling to pay the sanctioning fees that would earn him both titles.
