Al Haymon stole the fight from Zab. They had the scorecards for Paulie no matter what....Yoel gave Zab the word in Round 7 and Zab was pissed cause he knew he had to knock Paulie out and make it a fight to win...he wasnt gonna be allowed to win on pints.
They stole it from Zab how they stole the Broner fight from Paulie.
Paulie is playing politics and smart and good for him. But he aint' whoop Zabs ass.
Zab caught the jabs with his ****ing glove some got it but he got the same amount in on Paulie plus the knockdown. Whatever.
Floyd isnt stopping anyone but I see it playing out like the Marquez vs Pac fight. Manny will have success early and then be completely dominated by Mayweather the rest of the fight.
Basically, the high drama of this fight is in the fact that, FLoyd can get K.O'd Early. If not he takes it after 4 rounds completely.
I liked this one, I think it's the third best after De La Hoya Mayweather. Hatton Mayweather was the best because Hatton is an interesting character him and Billy Graham.
Worst was Calzaghe Jones followed by De La Hoy Pacquaio, I forgot they even gave them a 24/7
It's exactly what Floyd Sr. Said Shane would be fighting "Jittery" which means he would be nervous, which makes you tense and that takes up alot of energy. Not to mention he's going for the K.O. Same thing happened to Zab.
I wouldn't be surpised if Floyd comes with his hands up the whole fight. He did it against Zab and destroyed him. I wouldnt be surprised if he does it against Mosley since he's so fixated on a knock out.
If we leave it up to Bob Arum Pacquaio's next fights after mosley will be against.....Cotto, Clottey,Margarito and anybody Mayweather defeats for...
diamond belts.
It's simply because Mayweather is Basically what America Hates. A Black Hip Hopper.
Simple as that. Most white people just don't like Black Americans. Especially the fast talking type with alot of money.
So when you have a A talented Black Guy like Mayweather who does amazing things and doesn't kiss ass and suck up then theres is no good deed he can do that would turn the people in his favor.
You have people who want him to go to jail for the remainder of his adult life because he smacked his ex wife.
Shows you how Crazy America is from the perspective of a young african american male.
Ortiz isnt a pushover at all. Physically he CAN do alot of things. Physically he CAN knock Mayweather out. Except the problem here is MAYWEATHER. Skill wise, Mayweather could beat this guy just counterpunching. Speedwise he will be able to get to Ortiz and flee before Ortiz can produce a proper reply.
Its gonna be harder for Ortiz to land then it was for Shane, because Shane is the quicker of the two.
I believe this fight will look simialar to the Baldomir and Gatti fight. Mayweather slipping counter punching pot shottin and fleeing. UD or maybe a Towel gets thrown in.
These aren't young rappers and signers taking std and aids tests.
These grown men are/were the number one and number two rated best pound for pund fighters in the world. They are the best at a blood sport, and they were going to fight for 50 million a piece. You mean to tell me it's o.k to say no about taking a drug test to make sure the fight was fair? Insulted for what, Boxers have been caught taking steroids and it's usually the spectacular looking ones,guys like Moslet or Roy Jones and Manny Paquiao.
This is history and 50 million a piece we're talking about, take the ****ing tests...It would be an insult if Floyd didn't take it but he did.
They asked him to agree to pay one million for every pound over weight and FLOYD SAID YES.
HE asked for RANDOM DRUG TESTS THEY SAID NO.
Who hates on somebody trying to make things fair....Bias observers.
The best thing about this pairing is tha they have worked with each other before and they enjoy working with each other. More importantly Whitaker can physically show Zab new tricks to make his defense(which is already excellent) great.
Zab Judah should fight Kaizer MAbuza how Pernell whitaker fought Harold Brazier at 140. I can't wait to see the results of this pairing if Zab wins this fight he poses a big threat to Kahn and Bradley.
Floyd does have a great chin. Although I will point out, Zab Judah knocked him down with a check hook. Out of about 131 Amatuer and Pro fights all together. He was legitamately knocked down by a check hook from Judah.
Shows how good Zab is skill wise, cause it was perfectly timed. Yet and still Mayweather still has an a great chin.
EDIT: I notice Paquaio fans ruin boxing conversations.
On Zab Judahs Twitter he said he was going to see how Floyd was looking in the gym so he would know who to bet on....about 5 hours later he said MAyweather was looking real good and he's betting on Floyd.
**** this article
Zab is a former eelterweight and jr welterweight champion have some respect.
Another thing, Zab lost to Al Haymon
Zab didnt get touched for 7 rounds til his dad said " thry got haymon"
watch it round 7. They tried to force Zab to k.o Paulie if not the scorecards would give it to paulie
Zab barely got touched all night FOH
Zab Didnt do ****...He threw 0 left hands...I know Pernell is like wtf? I think that was probably the end of that duo....If Zab doen't want to fight, he needs to take his money and do something else. I'ma zab judah fan but I don't believe this guy deserves to be fighting on large event...You have to have the Will to win, difference between Tarver and Judah...Tarver being about9 years older...pulled out the more gutsy performance
Great job by Zab His defense was great. His offense could have been better but hey he got the K.O. I noticed throughout the fight Mabuza's whole vbody would shift directions whenever Zab hit him with the left. Bottom line is this. Zabs defense is great, Pernells Advice is great and keeps him composed, and Zab has One Punch K.O power at this weight. So if you can't hit him and he catches you, you better have a chin. Head butt Bradley has nothing on him. The only people who pose a real threat is Kahn because of his boxing skill and Freddie Roach and Marcos Maidana because of his own K.O Power. If he could avoid fighting Maidana and fight Kahn and Bradley he will Unify the belts.
Two wins over two very limited fighters in mattysse and mabuza and suddenly everyone thinks zabs hot property ,the guy only just scraped past the both of them .. He hasn't fought anyone on Bradley or khans level since 2007 against Cotto and even then he was knocked out. He hasn't done anything in recent times to suggest that he could compete against the divisions top fighters.. Hes not getting a manny fight so khan is the next biggest pay day simple as that. He chose those two fighters for a reason the same reason morales chose maidana..Zab judah knows Khan will be his last pay day so the old zab has surfaced again the gentleman image to generate these stupid ideas and hype that he can actually win the fight to generate MONEY because there is no coming back after another loss for him . People on here are idiots if you think zab beats khan just look at his record fights some bums gets a shot loses fights some bums gets a shot loses and repeats the cycle the only difference now is that hes 33 years old there is no repeat cycle...
Slow Down Chief, Zab nearly Knocked Cotto out in the first round with a counter uppercut. Thats called accuracy. This guy is very skilled. He lost that fight due to low blows everybody who seen it knows it. The footage speaks for itself.
Bottom line is this, Amir Kahn is not a better boxer. Zab has more skills and talent. Lucas Mattysshe is no joke, he's got an 87% Knockout Percentage and he was undefeated before Zab Outboxed him. Zab also has one punch k.o power and he's a pin point puncher. DId I mention in his corner is the best defensive fighter in the past century...if not the best Undisputedly in the top 5 as far as defense.
why all this talk about defeats. You win some you lose some , it's how u come back. **** Manny Pacqauio Has been K.O'd twice by nobodies. And also outboxed by Morales and Marquez. Styles makes fights, Amir Kahn is on the level of a cory spinks. Easy food for Zab.
Floyd is stating Facts and Sticking up for Black Athletes. Good for Floyd.
He also did state that Jeremy Lin is a good player.
Look bottom line is this, Black Athletes do not get their just do. To the point it is ridiculous.'
Look at Floyd whos been Undefeated for his whole career and champion for over 13 years. Yet Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquaio have been recieving fighter of the year and trainer of the year. Meanwhile Floyd Sr. and Roger Mayweather have recieved nothing for training Floyd. Nothing. How the **** is that?
If you people hate black people so much, stop stealing our fight styles, stop stealing our music, our haircuts our history.
Big up Big Up to Floyd Mayweather, for sticking up for our Black athletes.
I guess alot of people in here dont know **** about boxing or fighting for that matter. Look at Lamonts face, he was eating alot of punches flush. Kahn boxed beatifully. Lamont did a good job but he wasn't the better man that night. Hometown gift. They need to do it in Vegas. I wasnt a Kahn fan til that fight. Sorry to say, but Lamonts a paper champion. Kahn will get back whats his, then he should move up.
I want to see Bradley vs Kahn or Judah next. I think he would lose to both.Bradley's boxing skills are alright and good at best.Judah has great Boxing skills and Kahns has excellent skill as well. Bradleys headbutts are all you have to worry about.
