How Responsible Was Team Judah For Zab's Loss?

[beauty]

It's the fiighter's job to win, but I do not think Zab had proper mental preperation or strategy. I definitely think he needs to retire "Team Judah" and find a more experienced and more meticulous trainer. I think his career at this point depends on it because as strong as he was against Cotto, he should have won and his obvious lack of perparation was a major contributor to his loss. JMO.

Has nothing to do with his corner and has everything to do with him. Zab wont even listen to his own father what makes you think he is going to listen to anyone else?

I totally agree, but at 29 i don't think he can develop stamina and better defense. he needed to fight like round vs cotto for 12 rounds... and wear a bigger cup lol

Your corner is a very instrumental part in your success or lack thereof. I understand the whole, "not listening" thing. But honestly, what solid advice did Judah's corner give him against Cotto. Your corner is responsible for examining how you are matching up against your opponent and informing you of what the other fighter is doing that is potentially crippling to you, amongst other things. I do not think Zab's corner did that in this last fight nor did they motivate him to do better than what he was.

LOL. Solid point, but I do not think he is too old to learn some new tricks, ya know.

They did. Throw more punches, throw the left and you will hurt him. Zab didn't listen and he paid the price he never listens. He didnt listen in the baldomir fight, or Mayweather fight nor this fight he does his own thing. his pops trys his best to motivate him in the corner and Judah sits there like a ******.

If Zab hasn't changed at this point in his career, I don't see him changing at all. Plus I doubt he would leave "Team Judah" because he's pretty loyal to them and if he left that could hurt their family situation.

its probably too late now, but i've always felt zab was better off with another trainer.... joel doesnt impress me at all... if you take away zab's speed, you'd have a below average fighter with a big mouth....

When Zab get's tired of his corner then he will fire them.
He and his father seem to be very close.
I would like to see Zab under new tutelage.

There is something that happend after the second round in the Judah corner.

Judah tells his father he want's to try something and his father tells him NO!



I wish I knew what Zab wanted to do.

Indeed. But, I do think that he needs to grow up and make some business decisions. Everyone has to. Mayweather fired his dad. It may have strained the relationship but it was necessary and now look at him.

His speed is undeniable and he is a powerful puncher. I hope he grows up.

As far as the motivation, yeah Yoel said those things, but, is that real strategy????? I mean, "Hit him with your left", but why? Because you have a good left or because everytime you do, he does...... I think more was necessary is all I am saying, in essence. I do not think his team is professional minded enough or organized enough to take Zab any further and I do think he needs a new trainer. It's unlikely, but.
