      One interesting thing I've noticed from reading these threads is that Zab has lost a lot of respect as an A level fighter. This is mostly due to him not being mentally prepared. He was outboxing Tzyu and got careless and caught, a mental mistake, anyone can get caught against a puncher like Tzyu. He didn't train hard enough for Baldomir, he was winning the first 5 or six rounds but lost focus. On Saturday I think he learns from all his previous mistakes and combines a strong mental focus, conditioning and his great natural skills to put on the performance he has always had the potential to display.

        Nice post, I couldn't agree more. I too think Zab is completely ready, and predict a dominate performance tomorrow night!

            zab had a serious problem in that fight which meant he spent the rest of it
            backpeddling. he even mentioned it to his corner yet noone seems to remember

              You are so wrong...what a shame....

                  Honestly, do you think Baldomir would win a rematch?

                      no, i dont think it would even be close.

                      yeah zab didnt look good in the rds he was supposedly ok but i think it was
                      a one off night and he wouldnt come close to performing as bad.

                      so whats baldomir doin nowadays, now his time in the limelight is gone ?
                      oh yeah, fighting vernon "1 fight a yr if lucky" forrest
