Put his punches in combination he is explosive and quick yet never throws combos just odd for a speed fighter not to do this..
he used to do so when he was comming up ...but since the zoo fight he's kind of been a one hit at a time guy less he's fighting a crusty ... he just dosn't like to get hit in return
Yup, 100% Zab was never prepared to go more than 6 or 7. It amazes me that his handlers did not force harder and more frequent roadwork and drills on him. I've seen it a lot lately. I think Steward fighters also have stamina issues because Manny doesn't oversee the roadwork. Taylor and Cintron come to mind as guys who gas out quickly.
I think his fight with Cotto proved he does not have a glass jaw. But, I do think it's both stamina problems and fear getting clocked. If he didn't have such a This content is protected trainer, he'd be a far more respected fighter. What he needs is a bunch of easy fights, a better trainer and a lot of conditioning.
Ive been saying this more years thats why his great handspeed is almost irrelevant because he doesnt put combos together. Floyds a guy who also throws 1 at a time but he still has a higher workrate,uses all different shots,has stamina and of course he has the defense to block any return shot. Zabs so overatted everyone see his speed and says oh my god he has the skills to be the best. Meldrick Taylors the fastes fighter ever and he wasnt the best at any point. Zab throws no right hands,no body shots,has stamina for 4-5 rounds. All he does is just load up with the lefthand and sometimes it might land but usuallly it doesnt because its so obvious its coming.
Im sure he does his roadwork but that has basically nothing to do with upperbody stamina. I wonder how much sparring this guy does or does he have possibly a bad diet ? What hurts Zab is hes NEVER relaxed when you tense up like that your muscles get tired sadly thats a thing I was taught very quick. Zabs been fighting what 20 something years ? He should know better.
