Mayweather Sr. to train Zab Judah?

[Mar]

Zab's biggest problem is himself...but a change may spark something and be a big help.

I don't know how you can get along without instructions such as "bam bam bam."

....Have some rep for that one.....

With that aside....IMO Judah should have switched trainers long ago.....I have always said just because you are family it does not mean the partnership will work...At times hinders things....The fighter is in a complex situation...Disagree with a trainer but then it is disrespecting your Father....Can cause family breakups as we have all seen.....

Many Father son relationships work great but it isn't for everyone..

At minimum I always suggest that the Father be CO-Trainer but just my OP.......

Two of the problems Zab Does are
1) He stops throwing punches when he is being forced to fight.
2) He doesn't smother smother his opponents when they get him on the rope... When guys like Mayweather or Hopkins avoid the initial punches coming in, they move in close to their opponent to avoid/smother the following punches/combinations, but Zab doesn't come forward, he just lets his opponent hit him in the corner. Also on the ropes he doesn't bring his hands up nor does he fully use his shoulder to properly block punches (left hooks/jabs).

It might be too late to teach Zab, but who knows I think he has the heart, and boxing intelligence to change his style, but then again he doesn't have the mental strength preform to his ability, he's a lot like Mike Tyson in that respect.

In a nutshell (no pun intended) he has no balls. He folds under pressure. I hope it's true and it goes well because the ability has always been there and I like watching Zab fight for the first few rounds. He really tried to be brave in the Cotto fight and I applaud his dumb arse for it.

ok so this sounds good because his father sucks at training him, all he does is yell...lol

but im my mind i think this is zab's way to stick it to flloyd, since zab hates him.

but if this does happen the relationship between the mayweathers will be even worse, i suppose.

i wonder what LEGION is going to say about this??..lol

I hope this works out cause i have a lot of respect for zab after the cotto fight

Same here, for once he had some pride in him and fought hurt until the ref stopped it. If it was not for the Cotto fight I would have no interest in who he fought right now unless it was a big name opponent.......but he always seems to get the big names regardless, so I always end up buying.
