Judah: "I'll Need About 5 Rounds To Beat Cotto"

[amagnin]

Well, Cotto's best punches are to the body so his chin shouldn't be as big of a factor. It's really a matter of whether Zab comes to fight 12 rounds. Cotto has never faced someone at talented as Judah...

I agree with you that this will be Cotto's toughests opponent to date. I just don't think that Zab has what it takes to beat him. Zab certainly will be competitive for the first half of the fight (he is one of the more talented guys around) but mentally he is weak and it will show. Cotto has impressed me of late and if you saw Malignaggi's face after the fight you know he can **** to the head or body.

Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if he did ko/tko cotto in 5 and vice versa. Both of em got glass jaws. Cotto got more heart though. Its a toss up to me.

Cotto's known for his body punches. But Judah's known for his suspect chin. He may have gotten up in the Tszyu fight, but there is not denying that if they let the fight continue it would have been stopped or he would have been ko'd. That was on of the fastest harder shots thrown by tszyu that landed right on the chin, so fast that you couldn't even see it. This fights not ppv worthy, but to say Cotto stands no shot is an understatement. Judah's been hurt by mayweather, and Tszyu. If Mayweather can hurt Judah, theres no doubt in my mind that Cotto can hurt him. I see cotto attacking the body and judahs chin alot, since I know Cotto's camp is studying that Tszyu fight and Mayweather fight.

Actually both guys chin are pretty questionable, also you forget the Tszyu fight was stopped by Nady in the last second of the 2nd round, so you don't know if he would've gotten knocked out in the 3rd round, Judah caused that stoppage himself after he was knocked down he jumped up in a second, that's what created the chicken dance, if zab took 7 or 8 seconds he would've been OK, he was actually dominating that fight before the knockdown, had Tszyu hurt in the first round.

Actually both Judah and Cotto needs 2 or 3 perfect punches to win the fight, if Zab lands 2 or 3 bombs in the first round, Cotto will be knocked out.

I don't know I think the questionability of Cotto's chin is very overrated. Cotto really only got hurt by Corley and Torres and the important part is that he was able to recover both times. Funny he kind of reminds me of Trinidad in that usually after he gets knocked down he seems to be more focused.

The differnece is Zab hits harder then Corley and Torres.

zab always gasses out

First off Cotto's chin is way under-rated. Many of the things that were criticized his last few fights at 140lbs have changed. Cotto is throwing more combo's and has a higher work rate at 147lbs than he did in his last few 140lb fights.

Cotto also took a few good shots from Quintana including a few vicious body shots.

With that said even a fighter with a good chin can get KO'd by Zab who tremendous power and hand speed (as fast if not faster than PBF). So I wouldn't be surprised if Cotto gets hurt from a clean shot. Avoiding the clean shot is what Cotto has to do.

True definitely. My point is that I think Cotto can be hurt but he has quick recovery time. I am not saying I think Zab can't win I just don't think that he will win.
