Was Zab bustin' some 52 hand blocks on floyd?

OpethDrums · 04-17-2006, 12:41 PM

remember during the judah mayweather fight when zab got a little desperate and started doing some trippy ass dance where he was twitching his head and doing weird stuff with his arms? when he was doing that he hit floyd 2 or 3 times clean because it was confusing floyd. do you think he was using some secret shit or was he just messing around? it looked like it was something he was taught for extreme circumstances so..

i know this is off topic but yeah i love zab's style. he just wants to open you up and scoop the meat out

Zab has talent that I would cut my index finger off for, but he can be too cocky and play to much, and then he gets into trouble. He got schooled by Mayweather but he should have gotten credit for the knock down in the first round.

might i possibly get a certain round this was done in or something?

Zab could be such a great fighter if he didnt have the brain of Elmo

back off my boy elmo

would you say zab's style would translate well into mma?

Also of note, everyone who says Zab was doing nothing after about round 5 is on crack. He was trying to steal rounds, but when he came on he came on pretty strong. And it takes a lot for me to defend Zab because I really don't like the kid...but he can scrap when he wants to. He landed a Hellatious straight-left in the 12th that hurt Floyd pretty good.

Also, Floyd was doing a little Gung Fu, too.

Anyone notice that slick little move he was doing putting up his right glove in a high-block and then slipping the hook underneath it? That's what we call a hidden-punch. And it was working.

What it all boils down to is that people who lived in ghettos (myself included) grew up on Saturday Gung Fu theatre on whatever channel. lol And you earned props if you could pull some of that off while boxin' up with your homies.

My son loves Elmo he has a dancing elmo that drives me fucking nuts, he has a chicken dance elmo, a elmo car and elmo pajamas. At night he sleeps under elmo sheets with his dancing Elmo and every single night he wakes up and makes elmo dance for a good 30 minutes which wakes me up. He will make elmo dance and laugh the whole time not just laugh but an evil baby cackle

GAH! Dude, what happened to G.I. Joe's and Transformers and Wrestling Buddies and whatnot.

NO ELMO ALLOWED IN MY HOUSE!!

MAYBE for the girl. But if I catch my boy playing with an Elmo toy we're immediately going out to hunt and kill something or fix a car.

Floyd actually learned that from Bramble.
Bramble was a Kung Fu practioner back in the day and has a huge picture of himself in a white kung fu uniform practicing in central park. Bramble used to piss me off doing his snaky punch shit when we would spar he would wave his jab hand in front of my face with his elbow bent into something that looked snake head then all of a sudden throw a hard jab with it a very short punch but it hrt like hell.
Another guy with kung fu roots is stevie johnson he doesnt really use it boxing to much but his footwork from what he told me was made better by his kung fu days.

lol I used to do the same shit when sparring. Gung Fu is still one of my all-time favorite Arts. And when a guy learns the instincts of a Boxer as to when to throw a punch it helps make decitions on how to use other strikes as well.

Hey and what about August's Drunken Boxing? He was tearing Olivera up with it, and Courtney Burton. lol That double-punch he landed on Olivera was the shit. I'd like to see Zab "Fitty-deuce block" Judah versus "Drunk Masta" Augusts in a Gung Fu skillz only fight.

scary. i sent those to my sister's kids. she still has not forgiven me.

thankfully mine can't be bothered with elmo. they to have spy kits and will set up motion detectors through the house and then roll their toys through them.

not sure which is worse, chicken dance elmo or

"WEEEE WOOO WEEEEE WOOOO-- INTERUDER ALERT INTRUDER ALERT"

that gets followed with laughter, battle cries, fights and then the inevitable 'nope, you shot him with a laser and he's laser proof... ARGH!!! CHEATER!!!!'
