Did Yoel whisper to Zab to throw that low blow?

[Bombardier]

Good to be back, did you catch the fight tonight?

Yeah, I can't really afford it but I couldn't resist that card. It almost worked in our favour having Zab lose the Baldomir fight cause DK and Arum knew they had to stack the rest of the card so fans wouldn't be completely turned off. Having Diaz and Arce against game opponents certainly paved the way for a decent main event.

I'd give Floyd's performance a B. I think you said in another thread that the extra weight affected him and I tend to agree with you. However the adjustments he made after the first few rounds show why he is the best fighter out there right now. He was able to get in close and do the work he needed to and still block most of what Zab could throw at him.

i think he was afraid Don king would give PBF an audio link to thier corner

It was a pretty good card best I have seen in a while, I snagged unfortunately should have ordered it online like I normally do since my pc streams it at a good framerate and looks pretty good...But I got a good night of boxing

In relation to his weight, he was slower and Zab didnt really jump on that but if a fighter who is nothing but explosive pressure gets a crack at Mayweather than it will effect him tremendously *coughHatton*Cough*


VZE-I heard Yoel screaming when they were showing Mayweathers corner and Mayweather and Roger and his cutman and the other big guy were all looking over at Judahs corner at that point listening and I believe Roger said "He doesnt want none he is done"

I think it was earlier in the fight,but its funny that you said that though,I think I remember Yoel saying "look down,look down.."

look at Zabs eyes before he throws that punch...

I think Zab did better than most think. If you count that Floyd was put down by a punch in the 2 or 3rd. Plus Zab won the last 2 rounds. Plus ledderman and Lampley just give PBF all the props b/c hes HBO fighter. I think it was sorta like the hopkins/Taylor Fight. Also I think what Roger did was totally GEHHTO. He lucky he did get PBF DQed. Anyways if you watch the fight with no sound and score it with the knock down I had it a one point fight for PBF. However I think Zab could of beat him if he would of tried more.

[heatseeker]

i think it was a close fight if you score the Knock down. Zab should of got credit for that.

Yeah, I have trouble finding any streams, but it was nice to see it on a regular TV anyway.

As for Floyd, I think Zab's southpaw stance threw him off more than he was expecting. It looked like he was trying to set up for his own big shots and got caught looking.

Hatton is such a straight-up gunslinger I think Floyd will have an easier time seeing his shots coming.

Indeed Judah did have the tools to imperfect Mayweathers style but obviously they were left in the toolshed. Unless Mayweather is that great and we seen the best from Judah and Mayweather completely shut him down. What is your opinion on that?

The only reason I give Hatton a chance is obviously because of his pressure and his love to bully the guy on the ropes and hold and punch. Coincidentally Mayweather enjoys laying on the ropes going into defense mode which would leave him open and vulnerable. Mayweather could easily take care of business in the middle of the ring against Hatton but I dont think Hatton would let that happen.

Definitely agree about Hatton if he gets Floyd against the ropes, but hopefully Floyd and Roger are aware of that too . Anyway it's the toughest test out there for Floyd, for sure, though Margarito is at the top of his game right now and would be a good one as well.

As for Zab, I think he was at or near the level he was against Spinks the second time around. He was fast, for sure, and getting his punches in well enough in the early going. So I think it is a credit to Floyd that he was able to modify his gameplan and shut him down.

Zab is King's fighter, not Mayweather's...

[Wayne Betzsky]

absolutely he told him to do it
