Nonito is pretty close with Ward and Zab
IBF junior welterweight titleholder Zab Judah followed the advice of fellow boxer and friend Nonito Donaire and started working with controversial conditioning and nutrition guru Victor Conte a little more than a month ago.
He has no regrets. Judah (41-6, 28 knockouts) gives Conte credit for his role in helping him prepare for his fight against WBA beltholder Amir Khan (25-0, 17 KOs) Saturday in Las Vegas.
The BALCO founder, who did a prison stint for his work with illegal performance-enhancing drugs in numerous professional sports, ,built a four-year career out of helping athletes to circumvent Olympic-style drug testing policies until BALCO was raided in 2003.
But since being released from prison, Conte appears to have gone legit.
Since 1988, Conte has run SNAC, an acronym for Scientific Nutrition for Advanced Conditioning, which is an organization that supplies legal sports nutrition products and supplements.
Now, in addition to Donaire and Judah, the fitness guru is working with a number of world-class athletes -- some of whom he has declined to name.
Conte's primary impact on boxers appears to be related to nutrition and high-altitude simulation by the use of a device called the "Hypoxicator," which lends itself to increasing the endurance, energy and recuperative powers of fighters over the course of their bouts.
Conte spoke to RingTV.com about his role with Judah in this Q&A:
RingTV.com: Were you able to personally observe any of the improvements you expect to see displayed by Zab in the ring?
Victor Conte: No, I was not, because I was not physically there in Las Vegas. This was all done by me at a distance. You know, basically how it started and how this came down was that it went this way.
One day, I received a call from Nonito Donaire, who has a beautiful house in Las Vegas. That's how the relationship with Zab Judah started. It began with Nonito calling me with Zab at Nonito’s house. He said, “I'm here with Zab, and Zab has an interest in working with you.”
So when Nonito called, he was there at his home together with Zab. I would guess that was probably five weeks ago that Zab was at Nonito's house.
RingTV.com: Where did things go from there?
VC: Well, arrangements were made, and Zab got tested, and I came up with an individualized nutrition program for Zab specifically to meet his needs and his goals. I have not actually met Zab before, but we communicate and Nonito has been working very closely with Zab. And for the initial week or so, Zab was going to Nonito's house on a daily basis doing hypoxic training there.
Then when Nonito came back to the San Francisco Bay area here, we had a Nonito Donaire meeting, and Zab needed to continue. So Nonito took the hypoxicator to Zab's house. So from that point forward, Zab has been doing it at home and he's been doing that on a daily basis. He takes a photo of himself and we communicate by e-mail and we talk on the phone as well as by text messages.
So any correcting that needs to be done, whether it's hypoxic training or conditioning, we talk, and we make those changes. Nonito has actually been there on a daily basis at the Hit Factory Boxing Gym in Las Vegas with Zab. And, of course, I will be coming to Las Vegas this weekend, and I will be with Nonito at Zab's fight. That will be the first time that I will meet Zab.Comment
