    I been a fan of Zab for a long time but I dont know what is going on anymore. Everyone says it is his mental abilities which is holding him down but I starting to have trouble with that because him and other poeple talking about how focus he was for this fight but things just didnt seem to pan out. So I am left wondering what the hell is it? If he is so focus why are things going down for him. Is is other personal problems, financial worries, weight class, or is it his camp(trainers, training, or etc...). I thinking he needs a change in his camp. A new trainer or something. I dont want to tell someone that they need to fire thier dad but damn. He needs someone else to train/inspire, I mean it to late in his career to really change his style but not a new trainer. I just dont know what do you all think?

    Well I know you like Judah but two problems have kept him down and one cannot be fixed.First Zab has no chin pop him in the mouth and he's not coming back and the second thing is he has no heart..I believe he has fought harder in his last couple fights but only because he knows it's all slippin away.:-(

    Zab is what he is. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyone who believed this **** about him being in the best shape of his life is a complete moron. Do you honestly think Zab didn't train as hard as he could to fight Mayweather and Cotto? That's pure stupidity. Zab will never have great stamina because he's abused his body with chemicals, taken way too many punches and never would be the second coming of J.C.Chavez in the stamina dept. regardless. To hold out hope that Zab is just going to magically turn it all around is not very smart. He's a faded fighter and it doesn't get any better from here. Zab can make good money fighting top-10 guys and he might go .500 or he might not. Be he's never gonna beat the elite in any weight division. He doesn't have the character nor the ability anymore.

    Theres a few things wrong with him. I'm not sure of all the things, but theres alot wrong with him. I question his temper, his heart, his team & training, his mentality.

    Stick a fork in him cause Zab is officially done. The only thing I think he could do now to possibly salvage his career would be to drop back down to 140. He came in at 143 for the weighin so whats another three pounds. He's too small to compete with guys like Margarito, Williams and Clottey as he should tonight. I think the only fight left for him that people MIGHT want to see is him and Malignaggi. They're both from NYC and it might draw do decent numbers because of the NY crowd.

    What Zab lacks is ring intelligence. He needs a trainer that can give him good advice to make up for that, hell he needs a new team altogether. His father needs to realize that what they're doing is not working out.

    This is the first time I've seen a match were a fighter is constantly using the right jab but not throwing the straight left. It's basic boxing 1, 2. Just like how Kelly Pavlik uses his left jab to set up the straight right. This is the first time I've seen this from Zab, he's always throwing the straight left, but in this fight he hardly did. A new team with Freddie Roach in his corner would be the ideal situation for Zab, but at this stage of his career I don't know if that's possible.

    He could have changed trainers when he was younger and would have done much better imo. Yoel Judah is a moron.
     
  13. **** Zab, Clotty did everybody in boxing a favor by kicking that Ghetto Rats ass:yep Judah can go get a job at Wal Mart, he's to stupid to do anything else..

    He needs to learn how to earn money out of the ring. He doesn't have it to compete anymore.
