fact is it could have happened. This was one of those fights you don't bet on cause it could have gone either way. Zab Judah was looking for a homerun and got it. Mabuza is the kind of fighter who can easily get hit by homeruns. Zab almost choked again and it looked at a certain point he was gonna lose the fight.
Many picked Santa Cruz to pressure him and stop him late. Most picked KO artist Mathysse to pressure him and force a late stoppage. Most picked Kaizer Mabuza to walk him down and stop him because Holt is no pushover and look what Mabuza did to him.
