Now before i start i've gotta admit to not being a big fan of Zab. But in saying that i think he has terrific speed and ability, and could still be a top P4P guy. I feel he probably would be if he was just a tad smarter.
The first thing he did wrong was take Kostya tszyu too lightly. I feel Zab could have won theat fight if he'd thought it thru more. After a dominant first round he didnt press home his advantage and let kt back into the fight. Then when he got knocked down instead of taking a knee he tried to be macho and get up quickly. Which lead to his downfall.
He also made mistakes against Spinks and Baldomir which were two fights he should have won.
The Cotto fight is his last chance to show the world just how good he is. A win and his name is back up with the big boys, a loss and he may be cast off to the life of a journeyman, and seen by all as a waste of talent.
Anyone got thoughts on Zab, and do you guys think he'll be switched on enough to beat cotto. He certainly has the ability.
