Source-derived summary

Danny Garcia vs. Zab Judah was a professional boxing match contested on April 27, 2013, for the Ring junior welterweight, WBA Super Lightweight title and WBC light welterweight championship at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Showtime.

Background

On November 6, 2012, Golden Boy Promotions announced a deal had been reached for unified light welterweight champion Danny García to defend his titles against former two-weight champion Zab Judah, with the Barclays Center being the front runners to host the event on January 19, 2013. On December 1, the official press conference got heated up between Judah and Angel Garcia (Danny father), after he had begun to insult Judah over his previous losses and performances. Judah eventually stood up and shouted, "I have a lot of respect for his father but I won't be disrespected."

The bout was originally set to be held on February 9, but was rescheduled due to a rib injury sustained by Garcia during training. Judah was a 4-to-1 betting underdog entering his 19th and ultimately last world-title bout.

The fight

Garcia started the fight off strong landing body shots. Judah was knocked down counter right hand from Garcia in the eighth round.

Garcia won the fight due to a unanimous decision. The official judges scored the fight 115–112, 114-112 and 116–111.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as boxing match. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16992647. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013 and 2012.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
