I like Zab but I am shocked that so many people believe he is going to beat Miguel Cotto. Zab is known not take punch very well, Baldomir had him hurt. I'm pretty sure Cotto is a bigger puncher than Carlos Baldomir. To me it would shocking if Zab won. I think Zab will do good for the first couple of rounds but when Cotto starts laying on the pressure I see Zab getting caught with somthing big. I'd say Miguel Cotto KO between rounds 4-7. Maybe I'll be wrong, I've been wrong before.lol. And to be honest I hope I'm wrong because I've always been one to root for Zab, I love watching him box. Hes fun to watch with all his speed and the power in his left. I ask the people who think Zab is going to win, why do you think that based on Zab's past?
I think that Zab will be at his best for this fight!!! He knows how much this fight means to his career so i dont see his lack of mental toughness in past fights will enter into this one!!! Corley/Judah and Spinks/Judah 2 Same thing Zab was coming back from a lay off after the Kostya fight and his boxing display against corley was flawless and in the rematch with spinks he was awesome and stopped him!!! I think Zab will show his skill once again!!!I wouldnt call him awesome against Spinks the 2nd time around. I only recently got to see that fight and I actually thought the fight was far closer than the impression I had been given. Spinks is a feather fisted fighter with good movement and speed very similiar to say malignaggi. Spinks also was fighting in front of his home town crowd which is a huge distraction for any fighter but especially one who counts on technique and focus.
I have a theory and would like some feedback. When I think about this fight I assume Cotto will be the one pushing forward behind jabs, body shots, etc and being very effective while neutralizing most of Zabs power. The last few times Judah faced guys that made him fight go backwards was: Mayweather in the last part of their fight, Kostya in the 2nd round, Baldomir most of the fight. Once this started happening it really took the steam out of his punches. He has only done well when being the aggressor working forward. How likely is it that he will be able to pull this off against Cotto who is arguably the strongest, hardest puncher that he has faced yet?
the thing about cotto is he can be hit, and hit often, especially by south paws, watch the first round of quintana cotto and look how many staright lefts quintana landed on cotto, and quintana has no power and throws punches falling back...
I've been saying that exact same thing. Cotto was getting caught early with jabs & straight lefts before he adjusted & took Quintana out. If Zab gets those same opportunities he could put Cotto's lights out. Cotto's going to have to weather an early storm & try to wear Judah down mentally & physically with his pressure.

When he is focused,Judah is by quite a bit the best fighter Cotto has ever faced.I think he has a good shot if he uses his speed advantage and just outboxes Cotto but he will be in danger all night in the process.
Or the people that have seen every one of his big fights against elite fighters.
Nah he clearly beat Witter and didnt lost focus in the first Spinks fight and knocked him out in the second.
I dont think he lost focus against Floyd, Floyd was just too smart, too strong and too good, and drowned him late.
He definitly lost focus against Baldomir late in the fight, and lost focus for a split second against Zoo.
Other than that...nothing.
Yeah he also said that a lot of Ali's wins were because of the mob, and that Cotto got many gift decisions. Both of which confirm that he is either retarded, or just started watching boxing three months ago.
I didn't realize Cotto fights even went to decisions. I recall 2 and he won by 4 rounds clearly in each.

Not only does he spit nonsense at times - the guy can't keep himself from going in the gutter with the insults.. :nonono:
There's a silent movement here to make this place classy.
Even some of the other "characters" have been cleaning it up.. :grouphug:
It's time to take out the garbage. :fing02:
This name calling and trash talking is extremely tired..
You saying Carlos Baldomir is garbage???
I've seen you repeat this shit about 46 times in the last day..

Carlos beat that ass, and who the fucks carlos? Then when zab loses, all he had was excuses. His excuses were worse then briggs asthma excuses.

So many people think Zab cant put a fight together, but those are the people that havent seen enough Zab Judah fights.
Or the people that have seen every one of his big fights against elite fighters.
The Baldomir fight was more a case of Judah being seriously hurt in the 7th round and being overly cautious for the rest of the fight. I dont think he lost focus at all.
there is no denying zab loses focus or something happens that forces him to unravel toward the 2nd half of the fight.
A focused Zab is a top fighter in the sport, and thats obviously gonna be the guy that shows up Saturday. This is do or die for Judah
In some cases, but Zab has finished plenty of fights without losing focus.
People act like this is something that happens everytime, when its happened in maybe 3 fights.

Beat his ass?
That fight was close, Zab won the first 6 rounds.
Baldomir won because of the 7th round.
114-113 in my book.
Watch the fight before you comment.
