Yoel kept telling zab to throw more combos "1, 2, 3!" but i think he should have been telling him what Stewart kept sayin... use that straight left, counter with it and make cotto weary about coming in! Zab stopped using his left...i think he was afraid to commit with anything other then his right jab after he tasted cotto's power.

You could really tell zab was afraid to throw for the most part...personally I would rather get KTFO in 4 at least giving myself a shot then taking a prolonged 11 round beating.


I feel bad for Yoel. He was Briggs cornerman against Ibragimov, too. It seems like he always has to beg his fighters to throw punches. Neither Zab or Shannon listened. It was funny in the Ibragimov-Briggs fight the announcers were joking that Yoel was throwing more punches in the corner then briggs was in the fight. Which was true.
