Danny Garcia W12 Zab Judah
Retains unified junior welterweight title

Rafael's remarks: Garcia doesn't always look spectacular, but all he does is win. He retained his title for the third time, turning back a stiff challenge from former three-time titlist (and former undisputed welterweight champ) Judah. In Judah's hometown, the fight elevated from solid scrap to bloody thriller in the second half.
Judah, 35, and Garcia, 25, of Philadelphia, spent most of the promotion threatening each other, saying mean things, and otherwise causing such chaos that the two were not allowed to appear together for the final news conference or weigh-in. Most of the rancor was between Judah and Angel Garcia, Danny's smack-talking father and trainer, starting with a near-brawl at the December news conference to announce the fight, which was originally scheduled for Feb. 9 but was postponed because Garcia suffered a rib injury.
With a hot crowd of 13,048 for the third card in the brief history of the Barclays Center, Garcia and Judah put on a great show. Garcia was in total control early on. He nearly dropped Judah in the fifth round with one of his many hard right hands. Garcia pummeled Judah in a brutal display in the sixth round, nearly knocking him down and rocking him with right hands. There were times in the past when Judah would have folded when faced with that kind of adversity. But he had a burning desire for this fight and showed huge heart.
Garcia, still in control in the eighth round, sent Judah to his rear end with a clean straight right hand, which also cut his right eye.
But just when it looked like Judah was all done, he came to life and Garcia began to fade. Judah stunned him with a left hand in the 10th and continued to hurt him. Judah also rocked Garcia in the 11th round with a right hand. In fact, Judah won the final three rounds on all three scorecards to make the scores very respectable, even though he was the obvious points loser. The 12th round started with a bad accidental head-butt, but the fighters went toe-to-toe for most of the round. The entire crowd was on its feet as they closed the show in tremendous fashion. Both guys let it all hang out, both were cut and bloody, and both did their fans proud.
By the way, a tip of the cap to referee Steve Smoger, who did his usual outstanding job. It's no coincidence that so many of the fights he works turn out to be memorable slugfests. Fighters respect him because he lets them fight, yet knows just when to insert himself in the action to break fighters or warn them.
Judah did more than enough to show that, despite the loss, he is by no means done yet. He probably will land some other fight of note in one of boxing's best divisions. Garcia will move on to a biggie in the fall. Golden Boy promoter Richard Schaefer wants to match Garcia in a September title unification bout with the winner of the May 18 nontitle bout between titleholder Lamont Peterson and interim titlist Lucas Matthysse. It's a fight than can easily be made since Schaefer promotes all three of them. Peterson-Matthysse is a great matchup. A fight pitting the winner against Garcia would be exceptional.
