Zab imploded again why was everyone surprised?

Question

Kids please study your history , If history has taught us anything that if we don't pay attention to what happen in the past we will repeat the same thing. Zab is a rich punk wit a lot of talent, and not much heart anymore. First let me give Khan is props he fought a smart fight and he was really trying to get to zab but Zab wanted nothing to do with him for what ever reason. By the way I did pick Zab to win but I told you all that I would not bet on it.Judah has denounced his faith Islam and converted to Christianity, hired Parnell Whitaker as his trainer, talked about how scared Khan would be of him before the bell rang and came out and lost every round before quiting and blaming the ref. I am not going to set here and say Zab could have gotten up or the punch that sent him down was a low punch which it was not all you have to do is watch the replay. I am a boxing coach and I love boxing I was a fighter and a really good one 62-2 armature and pro. It's not just Zab that is worring me it is the attitude of a lot of fighters today . If things don,t go their way they just quit David Haye, Devon Alexander, Andre Dirrell , Clotty , Shane Mosley and many others. If you notice all of these guys have money and they were all underdogs to lose. What they did was say to them selves if I am behind and I am the betting favorit to lose I will quit. I know most of you are not gamblers and I don,t blame you but when a fighter fixes a fight on his own what can you do about it and who is to say that the fighter is not betting on him self to lose. Zab is only 33 years old there is no excuse for him to quit the way he did . Body language says a lot and if you know anything about what I am talking about just watch Judah as he walks away from Max after the fight he did not give a damn what anyone had to say he picked up his check and went home. There is a trend going on in boxing guys are not giving 100% and they are quiting in fights which is a cardinal sin in boxing. Do you know what would happen to you if you quit in a fight when I was coming up no one and I mean no one would want to train you. I know a lot of you can't understand that but it is true I have seen it before and word gets around fast in the boxing community all these guys have seen each other for years it is a small circle in boxing. If you go to three big fights you will see the same people managers , promoters ,trainers and so on. Did you see the look on Parnell Whitaker's face while he was trying to get Judah to punch after he slipped the punch which Zab did very well he just did not fire anything back? Whittaker was saying to him self I be got damn this guy did not come to fight I know because I have been it that same spot before with a fighters. When a guy does not want to fight you can talk to him until the cows come home he will not fight and you can see it in there eyes. I did not have enough respect for Khan as a fighter but I am liking him more and I was not sure which Judah would show up so I did not bet on this fight. Good job Khan keep getting better.

Answer 1

"I am not going to sit here and say Zab could have gotten up or the punch that

sent him down was a low blow which it was not all you have to do is watch the

replay." Technically it was a body shot that kept Zab Judah down from reaching

the 10 count by the referee this was De La Hoya-Hopkins all over again except

all due respect Oscar De La Hoya did come to fight and gave Bernard Hopkins

a lot more competition. Clearly it's now evident in the past that Zab Judah he's

never been able to defeat a elite fighter we've seen him lose to Miguel Cotto, to

Kostya Tsyzu, to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and now Amir Khan I'll give some credit

where credit is due, Paulie "The Magic Man" Malignaggi gave Amir Khan some

better competition in that fight last year and he did come to fight and tried to win.

Answer 2

"...Zab could have gotten up or the punch that sent him down was a low punch which it was not all you have to do is watch the replay."



Dude TECHNICALLY that wasn't a low blow. Zab was hit almost to his liver and he might just felt the pain down to his groin so that's why maybe he thought it was a low blow. Watch him again when he was complaining then after he saw the replay his tone changed.



"...It's not just Zab that is worring me it is the attitude of a lot of fighters today . If things don,t go their way they just quit David Haye, Devon Alexander, Andre Dirrell , Clotty , Shane Mosley and many others. If you notice all of these guys have money and they were all underdogs to lose."



Yeah, I agree on this one. It seem to be a trend in boxing. Money is their real motivation not PRIDE anymore. It is hard to find fighters who never say die in the ring.



"...Body language says a lot and if you know anything about what I am talking about just watch Judah as he walks away from Max after the fight he did not give a damn what anyone had to say he picked up his check and went home..."



I can't comment with this. You said it, among you boxers in the inner circle have the perks to know this kinds of doings so I'll leave that to you. Aside from that it may or it may not. You seem to suggest Zab took a dive but in my humble opinion, it wasn't exactly that way. He couldn't just pull the trigger anymore and maybe also because of what I said he might just thought it was really a low blow that hit him so he didn't bother to beat the count.



Aside from that, I think Zab still showed Heart in this fight. He used to whine and complain to the extent he went berserk inside the ring to counter the decision but he showed a bit class act by letting the public decide what really happened in the fight.



Zab showed heart against Cotto and Kotzya Tsyzu and gave Floyd a run for his money, it is just like, "the mind is willing but the body is weak to get up". I dont know man, maybe you really have the oppurtunity to read between the lines cause you said you yourself is a boxer and a coach so I'll leave all the rest to you. Thanks for some opinions and info btw.



Edit:

Add Ramos to your list of fighters who just want to collect paycheck rather than trying their skills against the fighter they know they don't have the chance of beating.

Answer 3

Although he loses in his biggest fights, he still has more experience than Khan. He also has power that gave even tough fighters like Cotto and Mayweather, trouble. People questioned Khan's chin because of getting knocked out in the first round by Breidis Prescott, and being rocked by a Maidana right hand in the 10th round of their fight, and thought that Judah could be dangerous. Boy, they were wrong, as Khan proved he was too much for the experienced Judah. He had too much speed and good footwork, although not that accurate, this gave Judah trouble, and the body shot didn't do anything, because Khan was going to win anyways.



Thanks, have a good day.

Answer 4

I think the outcome is simply that Khan was too good for Judah, not because Judah didn't come to fight. Marcos Maidana only just beat the count when he got caught with a left to the body by Khan and Judah didn't beat the count when he got punched with the right.



Khan's hand speed was a big factor in him winning this fight. That hand speed made him the better man in the boxing ring, that's why Judah (who is not washed -up) got stopped after being out boxed in every round by Amir Khan.

Answer 5

Not really i always said if Zab cant take this man out early he would not survive getting through 12 Rd's.He got taken out early himself.He doesn't have the stamina.He has always needed a trainer to focus on that problem.But its too late now.Hes done.Stick a fork in him quickly.
