Judah: "I'm Not Malignaggi, Cotto is My Son"

[Del Coqui]

Judah did fight at a rather controlled pace in the first few rounds. Problem was, Floyd got the timing down and started finding a home for the straight right with consistency. Moreover, he consistently attacked Judah's body, which played a role in Judah getting tired.

Actually punchstats show Zab threw a lot less punches after the fourth. He may have blinding speed for the first few rounds but it takes everything outta him, then he becomes tired and deffensive.

If Mayweather Isnt Anything He Has The Best Defense In The Game.. Cotto To Judah Will Be Like Heaven After Fightin A Defensive Fighter In Mayweather.. Cottos Defense Is Average A Best.. And Hes Short And Fights Short..

Las time I check Cotto was atleast a half inch taller than Judah if it makes any difference. Cotto's defense is above average IMO. He doesn;t get hit a lot. He's a smart fighter that knows how to move once he throws his punches.

Cotto by TKO in the later rounds if Zab doesn't decide to dance through the entire fight.

Exactly. Even Floyd pointed that out after he got the win. He said that Zab always comes out strong and gets tired in the mid rounds. Floyd knew exactly what he needed to do.

Exactly.

Judah's punch rate went from controlled in the first 4 rounds to just low from there on. Judah was getting tired from Mayweather's body attack, plus he was getting defensive since he was consistently getting punched.

Much easier to "let your hands go" when you have an easier target and you're not getting beat up.

#1, are there any really good Cotto showcase fights that I should see?

What are his better performances?

To name 1, there's the Abdulaev fight where he showed patience, movement & slowly chopped him down till he quit. Cotto fought very smart that night, alot of movement, jabs etc.

This is Judah's last shot at ever being taken seriously in the sport. I can't help but think that that, coupled with his amazing handspeed, gives him an edge over the younger, more reckless Cotto.

If Cotto can defeat Zab mentally in the first few rounds, by pressuring him, Judah's career will be in the toilet. He cannot afford to give up in this one or gas out, it's his last opportunity to be taken seriously.

Cheers, I'll have to check that fight out.

Does anyone know where to find that online?

Is it up anywhere?
