Mista Oh! and Los Galeristas Adolescentes could not have thought of a better way to break up the monotony and sensory overload of Armory Week than to head over to the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ for the IBF Welterweight Division title fight between Zab “Super” Judah (41-6, 28 KO’s), and Kaiser Mabuza (23-7-3, 14 KOs).
The Brooklyn-born Judah is a former two-division world champion, and was favored to win this contest for the unclaimed IBF Welterweight Division title. We even spotted Mike Tyson and Goose Gossage in the crowd, but according to Mista Oh!’s scorecard, Judah was actually down on points at the end of the fourth round. He just couldn’t get out of the way of the famed elephant boom! Boom! is what Mabuza’s fans chanted about the stiff left jab that seemed to be in Zab Judah’s face all night long.
But Judah, who is known for his lightning speed and remarkably effective defensive skills, exploded in the seventh round with a sizzling right–left combination that left his South African opponent knocked out still on his feet, then dangling from the ropes. Judah finally finished him off with a lethal barrage of body and head blows that sent Mabuza to the canvas before the bout was halted in the seventh round.
Needless to say, Mabuza was stunned, suffering his first loss since October 2007
The action-packed undercard included Vinny O’Brien’s debut as a professional fighter, in impressive win against David Navarro (0-2) whose corner pulled him out after round three and in the lightweight division, Shemuel Pagan (2-0) who needed just 93 seconds to annihilate Marcos Garcia (0-4).
Los Galeristas want to thank Malikah Ali and friends of the Gallery Cub for hooking up the tickets.
Los Galeristas Adolescentes Gallery Club returns to our favorite Armory Week event, VOLTA NY. We love the boutique-like feel of this show and the strictly solo-project format that makes it more like a fast track to 80-plus studio visits than like a typical an art fair.
With new and exciting mind-blowing discoveries at every turn and a chance to meet and chat with the artists for deeper consideration of the work, Volta NY is the Gallery Club’s pick of the week.
Stay tuned for more Gallery Club adventures during Armory Week.
Los Galeristas Adolescentes Gallery Club thank Amanda Coulson, VOLTA Executive Director, for her support.
