Zab just has the nature to get distracted in fights, and I think he's kept people around him that have the same nature.... So even outside fights, you would sense that unfocused attitude from him...
He needs people around him that train his thought onto one thing and when that happens you will see him almost become a new person... If he had that through his career he could have had more wins where he had losses.. I have no doubt..
I have that same growing respect for him, but I do hope that he has the team to take his skills and heart and passion and direct it the right way to win fights, ie. "win fights - Right from the day of the fight announcement, through the camp, until the final bell"
He hasn't had that...
Some fights in the corner in round 2, his trainer will be like "I told you he was going to use elbows" etc etc and will just have a b!tching session the entire time Zab is on the stool, then he goes back even less focused on his job than when he sat down. The trainer should be getting him focused while on the stool and help him make adjustments.. Not get him worked up over potential fouls and draws his attention entirely towards something as negative as that. And it also suggest that the focus even during CAMP was on the negatives of the fight... Before he's even entered the ring, Zab is ready to snap...
Was just terrible management of a fighter and I really hope that is sorted and we see a fresh zab the way he should have been the whole time..
