Zab still isn't good enough to beat the top dogs at 140.

    Zab got a gift decision against Mathysse, and looked frustrated at times against a very limited opponent in Mabuza.

    Mabuza had no tactical strategy whatsoever, and despite Zab's defensive skills, caught Zab with flush shots multiple times.

    I would love to see Bradley/Judah, as both have amazing defensive capabilities, but I don't see an over the hill Zab (he's 33) beating a prime Bradley and Khan.

    Wtf? no. Judah does not even have amazing defensive skills. Bradley hell no. Bradley gets hit way too much look at the Holt fight. Judah has a superior offense however, that makes up for his defensive deficiencies.

    In a perfect world he would shut up critics and take this ****. Would be a great rematch I can def see HBO picking it up too.

    Funny, with all the talk of him weaving and dodging, using Pernell Whitaker's defence and what not, I was under the impression there was a consensus that Zab's defence had improved :huh

    Nonetheless, Bradley has very good head movement, foot speed, and is a good tactical fighter, uses his head (in more than one way) to beat his fighters. That's what I call defensive fighting, when, like last night, you don't give your opponent a chance to land his shots.

    P.S. I'm just putting this out there, Zab is still a crybaby (watch him after they ruled the KD) :-(

    If zab has been trained by sweet pea long ago and got his stamina improved, we may have seen an undisputed 140-147 zab today.. and the fight vs floyd could have been better...

    So happy for Zab. I have been following his career for over 10 yrs.

    I thought i was seeing Pernell Whitaker in there :p. Some of his defence were signature Whitaker moves. Zab followed the game plan to perfection.
    The old Judah would of been bombs away and ran out of gas in the middle rounds.

    Can't wait to see him in his next fight.

    :blood Judah was Lineal WW Champ in 2005 and P4P top10, just because hes lost a few to other top10 P4Pers who were naturally bigger doesn't mean hes done

    Zab's defense was allot better last night, both Zab and Timbo have very good defenses when they're on

    suit yourself. the difference is that it wasn't even that good of a performance besides the stoppage/knockdown. Mabuza was starting to find Judah more and more and then Mabuza got caught.

    you shut the **** up. Bradley would've been more consistent then Mabuza and would be putting more pressure on. I think he would find Judah

    Judah has good reflexes which make up his defense and Bradley has a better workrate

    2006*

    Baldomir and Clottey were top10 p4p?

    What i'm saying is that Zab always loses focus against the best, he always tires. It's just a part of who he is as a boxer. Maybe he can change his stars, stranger things have happened but I doubt it.

    He should rematch Mathysse like a man.
