Cotto will beat Zab by....

I can see this happening also. Cotto is a huge pressure fighter. He puts so much hard punching pressure that every opponent folds before the final bell or looks like their face went through a meat grinder. I see Judah coming out fast and bombing though Cotto blocking and punching back to fusturate Judah. Eventually Judah will slow down and be with the pace that Cotto sets which is blistering considering he fights nonstop for all 3 minutes.

Cotto will apply constant pressure on Zab, making him back up and use his jab and throw one punch at a time.

As Maximo park once sang "I'd like to wait to see how things turn out, if [cotto] applies some pressure." I agree.

Cotto is a pressure fighter, I'm sure he'll be applying pressure from round 1. Zab will come out fast and then start backing up.

I'm looking for KO6 victory for Cotto.

I think there's some truth to that..

However, Cotto will be cut down for all the reasons we've discussed here.

You have your opinion and I have mine. Both our arguments have merit. It all depends on how both fighters handle themselves in the square circle on Saturday.

Nothing depends. Not in my mind.

It won't even be close.

Mayweather also preasurred him for a bit, and it was very effective. The thing is though, that Tszyu, Baldomir and Mayweather have Grade A Chins (Baldomir especially). Cotto has a C+. But if he preasures him and takes Zab's bigger shots it will work for him, and he will wear him out.

I agree 100% Cotto is a great pressure fighter and that could easily be the case in this fight. It's definately a fight either one can win even by ko at anytime. I'm a Cotto fan but i'm taking Zab in this, I believe his speed and power may be too much for Cotto BUT I wouldn't be shocked if Cotto won.

My pick Zab by KO

unless i'm proven otherwise, this is a huge mismatch...

who the fk is zab? he's lost just about every big fight he's had...

he got bullied around by an older slower baldomir........

huge mismatch and who cares if zab is flashy, that don't mean **** once he's tasted a bit of pain,.....just like against tszy, baldomir, pbf, etc...once he tastes pain, he goes into survival mode..

huge mismatch and cotto wins by an expected mauling.

Cotto will beat Zab by....
