I feel Bad for Sweet Pea

I agree with the OP. I don't think Judah did right by him at all.

Not sure how his skills as a boxer have translated to his training, but I'd like to see him work with someone with heart and determination.

 

Yeah im not taking anything away from Khan he was just too fast for Zab to counter. Zab was also unable to throw his left on the front foot and let his hands go as we've seen in the past.

 

why would you feel bad for pea?

he tried to get zab to fight like him.

in the mabuza fight zab spent the entire night doing those knee bends and trying those sweet pea move, lucky for him mabuza was slow.

they practiced the same thing for khan.


judah would have had much much more success had he come out with his old style of balls to walls for the first 4 rounds.

 

Well at least we know Judah ain't no Sweet Pea

 

We've known that for a very long time.

 

Zab took a dive for half a mil. **** that.

 

so zab is sweet pea?

 

He tried to teach Zab how to be like him. And it seemed there was almost no game-plan vs Khan. I don't think Pernell is cut out to be a trainer and Zab doesn't have a chance fighting defensively. Although Zab did take the easy way out. Quitting definitely had nothing to do with his trainer

 

Last night wasn't his failure; it was Zab's.

Pernell has been training fighters for a long time, actually.

 

Can't relieve Pea from all the blame. He is the trainer and had an obligation to prepare Zab 100% physically and mentally for this fight. Tonight's Zab was a different Zab than we have seen through out his entire career. More passive and patient in the early rounds.

Any other top fighters besides Judah and Calvin Brock pea has trained?

 

At some time, he has worked with:

Paul Spadafora
Joel Julio
Guillermo Rigondeaux
Dorin Spivey

He isn't a hugely experienced trainer-of-champions with decades of dues paid, but he isn't inexperienced either. It isn't like him training Judah was some novelty schtick. He is a trainer now, and still a learning one.

 

Sorry, but I don't think that turning Zab into Sweat Pea was the correct training method. Zab is not Pernell and can NEVER fight like him. By the time Pernell would have been working his way to taking over the fight, Judah was already out of it.

I felt like Judah's only hope was to start fast and wild, catch Khan with something big and follow up strong.
