Team Peterson Exclusive on Mayweather Sparring Tale

[FLY TY]

Zab definitely caught Floyd but that punch wasn't that
effective because if so Floyd would have went down
because it landed so cleanly. I can clearly see that
their feet made contact and both fighters stumbled
a lil, so contact was made which could have played
a factor in Floyd glove touching the mat. After Zab
caught Floyd he stumbled back as well so that means
if Zab got tangled up then so did Floyd. I'm not going
to debate this for too long because that is exactly what
I saw. Again, I used to think it was a KD but now I
can see clearly that it was some contact foot wise
as well as the punch.

no point....zab went on to get his ass beat.

I mean it's ridiculous because fighters get caught by clean punches
or lose rounds all the time but with Floyd being that he is undefeated
some go in extra to show that he had a hard time or got schooled.
When I watched that fight I couldn't believe how Mayweather took
control and started whipping Zab around the ring until he hit Floyd
low to get out of the embarrassment. I'm not going to be bias
about the slip because now that I see it, their feet met and made
both stumble a lil. Why would I try to front on that? Like you
said, Zab still got served.

Nah, I used to think it was a KD too until you posted
this video. If you look at the feet you can see that
they did get caught up in some form of contact because
you can see Floyd trip back and so did Zab because their
feet touched. I mean the punch caught Floyd but I think
if their feet wasn't so close together then Floyd wouldn't
have fell back like that.

Im not biased either way. I just watched it and what I see is floyd gettin caught with a good counter jab, was caught slightly off balance and touching down. There was no foot contact with zab cos he clearly lifted his foot out and slid away!

It doesnt matter if floyd got caught slightly off balance and by suprise thats his own fault. fact is without the punch he wouldnt have touched town!! Knock Down!!!! Just the dosy assed ref missed it thats all.

I can't agree with you on that because clearly their meet touched.
I don't understand how people can't see that? I have no reason
to make this up because it is what it is. I used to think it was a
KD but at the end of the day I just watched it and to me it looked
like a slip due to their feet meeting and I can CLEARLY see Zab
stumble to the right because their feet touched.

that's what it is......he's never lost a fight, so people will discredit him by nitpicking little things that happen, in the fights he wins, or what they "hear or read" of about sparring sessions.....

most other top fighters have been hurt, embarrased, knocked down (legitimately), or knocked out......it hasn't happened to floyd, so dudes on here will nitpick. he won the fight, beat zab's ass....end of story.

Yeah, your right. I'm going to just leave it alone.

fair enough we see something different, theres no point us draggin it out cos were not gonna convince eachother either way. As far as I see it even if their feet did touch (tho it would have been very slight as I dont see it) he still wouldnt have touched down without the punch. also it seems zabs moving to the right of his own accord he often does this to avoid counter after throwing a jab. Were just gonna have to agree to disagree

all this over sparring?...lol...

we all know in a real sanctioned match, Mayweather would whoop that boy around the ring...

WRONG *****, you can clearly see by the video that Judah's foot while not necessarily fully stepping ON Mayweather's foot still clearly hooks onto Mayweather's foot as Judah withdraws it and thus makes Mayweather trip.

Just watch Judah's body in the video, as he pulls his foot back you can see that it "snags" on Mayweather's foot and JUDAH HIMSELF TRIPS because of this as clearly seen by Judah's body slightly beginning to fall backwards and to the right afterwards. This is because his foot was clearly caught on Mayweather's foot as he withdrew it towards himself and as such the knockdown is immediately ineligible as a legit knockdown.

It really doesn't matter mayweather was not even stunned by the punch and even with the knockdown he still whooped that ass... its funny that ppl keep bringing this fight up when judah won like 2 or 3 of the rounds and got schooled the rest of the way.
