He was getting destroyed in there by Angulo, yet it never looked like he was gonna go down. Good thing they stopped the fight. Rivera is too tough for his own good. He could've got hurt in there. Andre Berto destroyed him for 12 rounds and the guy never once came close to getting knocked down either. Must say a lot about Zab Judah's power huh?
He has given them fits. I would not mind buying his contract if I were doing such, someone needs to do such, then let him train like Hell, he could really go somewhere. However, Angulo is truly awesome, very heavyhands w/stamina.
No doubt man, the guy has balls! Although these refs need to realize when a guy is taking too much punishment and stop the fights when Angulo is concerned. This is the 2nd fight in a row where we've seen Angulo beat a guy half to death before the ref finally stepped in. This keeps up and Alfredo is really going to hurt someone in the future.
Zab destroyed him and I always said that was one of Judah's best, most destructive wins. Not many people agreed simply because of the level of fighter Cosme was and I can understand that. But he continues to prove his chin is something else and I find it quite amazing he can eat so many clean shots off Berto, Angulo and Julio but the smaller Zab just cleaned his clock so easily.
that just goes to show you that speed and a slight bit of power can really be a big difference than a guy that just has heavy hands/hits hard.
That shows what level Zab was on when he was focused. Amazing handspeed and precision combined with excellent power - down goes Rivera. What a waste for the Hall of Fame...
Zab is a special fighter and most people know it, he's showed it from time to time. He's also undisciplined, often unfocused and too often gasses out in the middle rounds for whatever reason. I still think Zab could make a hell of a champ at 140 if he could just get his **** together and make the weight.
