why did zab stop throwing?

Exactly. Finally someone came back to his senses. Thank you sir! I was thinking i was the only one seeing thatEasy question, here's an easy answer -> Don't you find it funny, that ZAB's best rounds was when the low blows happened, and like you said after round 4 it was like ZAB kept waiting. Well, that's what a well executed low blow does to you, unfortunately in this fight it was two well placed groin shots. It takes the steam out of a fighter, and it takes awhile to get it back together, when you face a terrific fighter like Cotto, it becomes difficult to get back into rhythm.
I know from my own experience, both from the receiving end and me givin' it to someone. There have been times where I got hit in the groin, but, it had little effect and times were it hurt real bad and actually had to walk it off for a good 2 minutes. When I used to box, I would use low blow tactics when my opponent was outhustling and I can't seem to get off, and guess what, if I throw a good well placed low blow, it slows down their workrate, that's my cue to step it up and gain momentum for myself.
Here's an analogy..... It's like having a hot intense sex w/ your chick and the phone rings or something happens that throws off your rhythm and you end up getting out of sync, it takes awhile to get it back sometimes or you don't get it back at all. You just end up rolling over and sleeping(lol). Folks, this is what happened to ZAB tonight, and against a guy who is a helluva ****er. Like they say in New Yawk, FORGET ABOUT IT !!Comment

If he didnt have the heart or balls then he woulda low blowed him or did something illegal. He still tried to fight threw,and didnt take a 10 count.And he lasted 10 rounds of pressure and punishment.Thats called having balls,I think your the only 1 really saying he didnt tonight. I dont know what fight you were watching.versatile, no he didn't do nething tonight, he looked for every excuse to end the fight. Zab is a ***** , he knew he couldn't take the punch from cotto so he tried to find every excuse to end the fight. Zab is still an exciting fighter even though I'm not a fan and I think he still has some good fights in him, I just think the pressure and power was too much tonight.Comment

Zab was just pressured to much by Cotto. It seemed like he was waiting for Cotto to tire out and catch him with one punch, but Cotto didn't tire down and came with that relentless pressure. Judah showed good courage and heart tonight, he was just in there against a younger, stronger, man that just wanted it more. Great performance by both. Whoever saw the fight live are pretty lucky because both men put on a superb show.Last edited by Gareth Ivanovic; 06-10-2007, 01:53 AM.Comment

Cause they just upset that cotto is better then they thought. I know alot of ppl I hang out with my friends and stuff thought zab was going to kill him. They're going to make so many excuses why the man they hate cotto beat him. Everyone told me cotto sucks, and I told them the opposite.Comment

im not making excuses for zab, but you have to admit its strange that after the 2 low blows zab stopped throwing his power shots. he had cotto wobbled etc and knew it, theres no reason he should have stopped throwing. ive never taken a left hook to the nuts so i dont know how that would effect a 12 round fight. its just strange how he stopped throwing the left when he was hitting cotto at will with itComment

He was connecting with that left uppercut early in the fight and threw it sparingly after. The low blows could have had an effect, but I felt like it was Cotto's consistent pressure that forced Zab to throw less and cover up more.Comment

In what fight has zab ever been constant in? In the mayweathers fight, when he was constant he gassed out. In this fight, I think he was trying to pace himself but not realizing that Cotto is not going to slow down his pace. Because Zab has a stamina problem.Comment

You call yourself a boxing fan and you post something like that after you watch a blood and guts performance by two great fighters? PATHETIC....versatile, no he didn't do nething tonight, he looked for every excuse to end the fight.
