so on april 8th there will be 2 guys swingin and screamin bang bang bang when zab goes back to his corner? Zab doesnt even listen to his head trainer, i doubt he'll listen and learn from an assistant.

Is it just me of is Don king starting to show his age? every word you posted wasn't made up by Don king and can be found in the English dictionary...

The most 'fabulous positivly glittegory monoumetonios' (as don would say) word he used was 'Literally'.

maybe its not to long before his hair sags and he ends up on life support?

what judah said after the baldozar loss was...

I GOT A FUCKED UP PROMOTER, HE MADE ME SPEND ALL THIS TIME PROMOTING THE FIGHT

so he's finally saying "no" to king.

And Don isn't showing his age, he's showing his weight.

**SalTheButcher** · 03-30-2006 07:27 AM

hes like 73, right?

**Hairdoo** · 03-30-2006 07:43 AM

Damn Oscar will have a license to print money!!

Cursing at someone through a conference call is promoting the fight? I'm sure don king put Zab and like 10 of his friends up to trying to intimidate Baldomir in the hallway before the fight after all the tickets were bought and the money was already being counted... Zab was looking for an excuse. Any way possible to claim it wasnt him that got beat by a mediocre opponent.

If Baldomir layed down for Zab, he would have been all grin and bling and not said anything. Hundreds of other fighters have carried promotions doing more than zab did, and still beat guys tougher than baldomir. Hopkins (also being promoted by king) went down to Puerto Rico, threw down a flag, was chased half way around a baseball stadium by an angry mob before jumping 10 feet down into a hallway and still schooled Trinidad and knocked him out. If Zab did what he was supposed to and took the fight seriously, baldomir would have been schooled if not knocked out. The potential for both of those fighters is not even close. Zab lost himself the fight in the judges eyes (i still had him winning barely by a point, but...) and he was looking for someone to blame.

Hopkins is more disciplined then Zab. So he can do all that. Zab is not that disciplined or focused no matter who he faces. he will be for Floyd but will he be consistant is the question.

Never heard you even remotely pessimistic towards Zab before? What's up?? I sense quiet confidence!!

**Purist** · 03-30-2006 11:45 PM

I'm always critical when it comes to Zab. I know about Zab and what he is capable of both the positive and negative, the positive is that he is coming into this fight all for nothing, the negative is we can't expect it from him every night. he's too inconsistant, but thats what makes Zab Judah, Zab Judah, thats why we watch, to see what happens.
