I'm a big Boxing Enthusiast so here's my take on it.
Carlos Baldomir is better than most people gave him credit for. He has 9 losses but most came early in his career and were controversial decisions where he lost to hometown guy. He's not a world beater but he's a real pro who knows how to fight. He's been known to upset guys. He hasn't lost since i think 1998. And he upset Miguel Angel Rodriguez (26-1) last April to get the title shot.
Zab on other hand has tremendous skills but no chin and no real heart. He is way too ****y and this is not first time he's struggled with a guy everyone said he'd destroy. He got gift decisions against DeMarcus Corley and Rafael Pineda. So while Judah has great skills he's been very inconsistent in his career.
I was rooting for Baldomir to win because of how Judah acted before the fight. They both arrived at same time and while Baldomir was respectful and just stood there Zab was all in his face , laughing and pointing at him. And when Zab entered the ring he bumped Baldomir. And when ref said touch gloves , Zab punched Baldomir in the Thigh.
Yeah, but i wouldnt give this guy too much credit. Zab obviously should have beaten the guy, he is really nothing special as a boxer. Zab has a weak chin. My two favorite boxers are Zab and Floyd and I didn't want to see them fight because I know Zab will get destroyed.
Zab was totally classless before and after the fight. You lost. Don't blame DOn King or the judges. The guy caught you with one punch and you danced around the ring for that round and the whole next round trying to get your legs back. Zab lost fair and square, but that guy is probably scared to give him a rematch because he knows Zab will come back and destroy him.
Zab is a major dissappointment. He is nowhere near Floyds level. Floyd would have destroyed that guy.
