Cd Palmer Attends "Road To Redemption" feat. Zab & Joseph Judah

Nothings better than sweet revenge, nobody knows that better than Zab “Super” Judah (38 – 6, 25KO). Judah wasn’t seeking personal vendetta against his opponent, just a chance to redeem his name in the boxing world. He’s taken losses from greats like Mayweather Jr. when a low blow nearly started an arena wide riot, as well as losses against Baldomir and Cotto.

Over the weekend, Judah stepped into the ring at the Palms Resort & Casino against Florida’s Ubaldo Hernandez (22-20-2). Hernandez rushed into the fight with some furry but after missing a crucial punch, it was over, Judah worked him out with body shots taking the first round. Hernandez went down in what was ruled a slip by ref. Joe Cortez, giving Hernandez a break. That was not the case in round two. Hernandez was overcome by Judah’s workout and Judah dropped him again at 35 seconds and the fight was over.

Another Judah camp fighter on the fight card over the weekend was Zab’s little brother Joseph Judah (5-0-0) going up against Joel Gonzales (2-5). Carrying on the tradition of his big brother, Joseph pulverized his opponent throughout the entire fight stopping him in the fourth round sending him down for the count. Gonzales got up to face more damage. The Judah family took president over the fight and redeemed more than their names, they got the respect from the fans.

Salvador Sanchez (17-3-2, 8KO) defeated featherweight opponent Jose Pacheco (2-9-6) with a 6 round decision. Sanchez dominated Pacheco with fancy footwork and mean left body shots and jabs, finally shutting him down with some chilling counter rights. Thailand’s Toddy Junior debut fight against North Las Vegas’ Brice Yenki was another fast and fury fight. Junior came into the fight dropping bombs on Yenki and continued to break him down throughout the entire fight; Junior won the fight by decision.

Another near massacre in the ring was light heavyweight Ron Johnson (11-1, 3 KO) from Cleveland and now a resident of Las Vegas and Dumont “Dewey” Welliver (18-19-1, 6KO). Johnson took over with his fast combinations of body shots until an accidental head butt opened Welliver’s left eye in the 2nd round. Fans were not excited about the decision to stop the fight and declare a no decision, but they will be waiting anxiously to see the rematch.
