Why? It's not hard at all. It's practically the same as doing it with your eyes open. It's just muscle memory. It's like hitting a free throw with your eyes closed.
Judah is notorious for his lack of conditioning. He is simply an undisciplined fighter, he no doubt has ALOT of skill and potential but he just doesn't want to put in the work
I haven't watched the video but I think if Judah came in not at his best then there is a possiblity of an upset. Santa Cruz is a solid guy who could make things very rough on Judah if he's not careful. If Judah comes in the fight in shape and prepared to win than he should still have enough left to beat Santa Cruz, but if not then it becomes a dangerous fight for Judah.
From all of the big fights ive seen of judah his conditioning does seem to be shocking. In the cotto fight for example he rocks cotto and starts letting some leather go forcing miguel to go down lo. In the clottey fight i think he just mentally switched off, and wasnt sharp mentally enough to take part in a fight. He has all the talent in the world. Hell the mayweather fight showed that but then mayweather showed us why he is one of the best fighters and judah is where he is. Judah needs someone like roach and ariza to exploit his atheletic ability in particular his power and speed.
I didn't say it was hard nor did I dispute the biomechanics of it. I said I liked it Mr. Internet toughguy.
BINGO! err, now why does he fade out after the 4th round??? No, Ivy League, its not out of mental fatique or strength... well, you're true about one 1 thing though - he doesnt have the mental strength to be disciplined in training....
The strangest thing is though he's in incredible shape - he runs 8 miles a day and he only rehydrates about 3lbs after a weigh in. In the ring however, he wanes like anything.
