"Cotto landed 54% of his power shots"


Zab is going downnnnnnnnnnn!

[Zerwas1]

Urkal was landing 45% of his powershots and isn't as fast as Judah, who also has the advantage of being a southpaw. Will be an interesting fight.

[borikua]

It will be, no doubt...

It only shows that Urkal is one tough MOFO. He came in ready to fight.

And on Cotto out jabbing "the boxer" Urkal also shows that Cotto can adjust to different opponents. He can alsol win fights by boxing not by solely knocking out opponents.

Urkal landed some decent shots, but for the most part they were landing on the top of Cotto's head or right above his temple. He didnt land that many clean shots.

I think Urkal is getting credit for shots that landed on Cotto's gloves, a lot of Urkal shots were getting blocked, most of the clean shots came from Cotto.

Comparing what Zab can do with Cotto vs what Urkal did is like Apples vs oranges. Way different styles not to mention the fact that yes Zab will be very motivated to win this fight but I think Cotto will equally feel the importance of this fight and we will see him at his best. I am pretty impressed with his chin too at 147. he did eat some clean, hard looking rights from Urkal which did not stun or move him at all. I was impressed again with Cotto's strength and confidence, which seems to be growing, especially against Urkal who was using his head as a weapon. No I did not see intentional "illegal" kidney punches from Cotto as 1 thread states in this forum. Just organ splitting dynamite thrown all night long.

Good point. I'm worried about Cotto getting frustrated. He seemed very frustrated with Urkal not going down, and Zab has a way of frustrating people and hurting them, should be an interesting fight. Cotto better come in with better head movement as well.
