Yeah, Iole just left the Las Vegas Review-Journal the week of DLH-PBF and now Yahoo! Sports is a great place to go for boxing/MMA coverage. Iole covers both for them.
Kball, we don't care what this guys' 'keys' to victory are; what are your 'keys' to victory? All kidding aside, you're a pretty knowledge fan of the lower weights, what's your analysis?...

I generally agree with the writing.
Judah has to be quick, in and out. Throw a lot of combinations and stay far away from the ropes.
Staying away from the ropes won't neccesarily help though. Cotto hit Torres, Malignaggi, and Quintana with some brutal combinations even when they were in the center of the ring.
I also think its important for Judah to show Cotto right from the first round, that he can punch just as hard, if not harder then Cotto can.
The guy did say Judah should clinch to get a rest, but i disagree. Cotto hits on the break sneakily sometimes and he cought malignaggi (who clinched a ton) with some good shots while he was comin in to clinch.
And for Cotto, i think he should just apply a lot of pressure and just throw nonstop to the body. Whether there are openings or not. For the first 5 rounds, dont look about the shoulders.
As Judah slows down, it becomes more and more a brawl, which is advantage Cotto.
I also think cotto should probably come out and show he can punch as well.
I expect a blazing opening round. 3-4 onesided rounds in favor of Judah. And then Cotto comes on late and stops Judah. Should be a doozy of a fight
