what judah said after the baldozar loss was...

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