If you were THE Zab Judah against mayweather?

Question

What would you have done different? He had early success in the first half of the fight except the 5th round. He even matched mayweathers timing and precision and speed. But it semmed he broke down mentally and maybe gassed out and floyd took him apart. But Zab landed some beautiful hits ajd even appeared to knock him down. What would you have differently or after 6th round of the fight where zab seemed to fall apart.

Answer 1

Zab did have an edge in speed, if nothing else, and that did trouble Mayweather early on, but I wouldn't say that Zab matched Mayweather's timing seeing as how it was Mayweather's timing that ended up swaying the fight. He started to time Zab and systematically break him down, and then did something you didn't mention which was CRUCIAL in determining how the fight ended up going the way it did, and that's Mayweather's body work. He fuucckked Zab UP when he started going to the body. He tore his a$$ up in the body, and ended up chopping the tree at the trunk and taking that spark out of Zab. That's why Zab gassed. It slowed him, and Mayweather picked him apart. He strayed from his jab because Mayweather started timing it, and then he fuucckked him up to the body. In hindsight (in my opinion) Judah couldn't have done anything differently to win the fight. Mayweather beat Zab with his boxing brain. Zab didn't necessarily beat himself. There was a good reason as to why the fight started to shift like it did. Zab just couldn't do anything about it, even if he wanted to. He got figured out, and adjusted to. Then it was game over. That's how Floyd operates. He takes flaws a fighter may not even know they have, and then magnifies and exposes them. Brilliance.

Answer 2

Like Ronnie said, Zab didn't gas out, Mayweather's body work and adjustments took over the fight. Zab had quicker hands but Mayweather had the timing. And as you know, timing can beat speed. So once Mayweather adjusted, it was all over for Zab because he isn't great at adjustments himself and he tends to fade late. Mayweather made him fade early on because of the body work and Zab's energy and speed was taken out bit by bit.

Answer 3

PBF started to preasure Zab once he saw that Zab's activity went down in the middle of the fight. Zab always had that problem he would fade late, He was a beast for the 1st 5-6 rds then he would just coast. If I were him I would of just kept my foot on the gas, Zab is always in great shape and his problem is more mental than physical, his stamina is ok. Its just that he looses focus.

Answer 4

Zab was always like this. The same thing happened when he fought Cotto.

He had stamina issues.

Answer 5

What I had done different would have been in training ,not the ring ,I would have worked on my stamina by running and training harder.
