Judah vs Cotto - My Take On It

[Soundtraveler]

I am losing faith in this forum...

I can't believe some of the posts I have been reading after this great fight!

I have read everything from Judah is a ***** to Judah has no balls, I have read Cotto aint ****, I have read this fight showed **** - and quite honestly, I have to wonder if this forum is full of 10 year old punk kids, or just people who won't consider a fight to be a good one unless somebody dies.

If you don't have the capacity to watch a fight like Cotto vs Judah and see what a true "warrior" performance that these two men put on, then you should be strung up by your tiny little balls...

it was a great fight, i just wish zab would have let his hands go more. i can understand cotto was pressuring him but man, cotto was begging for that left uppercut all night, and zab just wasn't throwing it. great fight though, both fighters stock definitely rose. props to cotto for staying on his feet, zab landed some serious shots in the first few rounds. equal props to zab for not giving up even though late he was getting the worst of it. i'd definitely like to see it again

I can't believe ppl actually believe that they thought Zab could keep up with Cotto. Zab has always had a stamina problem, thats why he didn't keep throwing at times. Cotto has great stamina, Zab doesn't. Just because Zab's faster doesn't mean he has a better Stamina. We seen in other fights that Zab lost because of his stamina. For him to even stay in some of the fights he lost like in the carlos baldomir fight, he had to pace himself even though he lost. His stamina is crazy weak, it's funny though since he jogs all the time but his stamina is the weakest thing about him. It could be genetically linked or something, but he has a stamina problem and it doesn't seem to ever go away.

back to your original subject, I hope a few of you had time to watch Judah vs Corley on HBO tonight and maybe caught the Randall Bailey vs Ngoudjo fight on ESPN. Judah was coming off a 1 year layoff and wanting to prove himself an elite in this fight after his KO loss to Kostya. A similiar situation and mentality but not a very impressive win. As usual Zab looked very good in spots, clowned at times, lost rounds when he didnt have to and at points became very unfocused. Please take a few minutes to think about what might happen if this is how he performs against Cotto. I mentioned the Randall Bailey fight because(and first let me say I had him winning this not Ngoudjo) he looked very very sharp in the beginning of this fight, so good I figured after 3 rounds this would be a short night for a tough and promising Ngoudjo but Bailey faded and lost focus. Please remember how Cotto handled Bailey. Many on here are predicting a V for Zab, many by KO. My prediction is simple: Zab will get crushed, obliterated by round 7. Dont think I dont realize what Zab may be capable of but as mentioned before that line of thinking is filled with many many ifs. If Zab fights a perfect fight he has one chance and thats to catch and stop cotto early. If he doesnt come out with that strategy he will likely find himself partying at the Emeregency room in the early morning hours of June 10th. Good luck SoundTraveler you will need it, Cotto will not.

Well my friend, we see the fight completely opposite of each other! I think it will be Cotto who gets crushed by the 6th Round, and you say Zab gets crushed by the 7th, I can't wait for this fight tonight! Oh, by the way, you did see how drawn up and skinny Cotto looked at the weigh in didn't you? Does he always look so sickly before a fight? I was kind of wondering if Cotto need the emergency room right now!

SoundTraveler your man gave a very valiant effort and Zab should stand tall(in a couple weeks) knowing he gave it his best, and he had some good moments throughout. I know it hurts to watch a fighter you are a fan of in a fight like this and Im sure its double for you actually knowing Zab but cheer up cause I thought he looked pretty good last night and its obvious if he can recoup from last night that he still a very very good welterweight.

No one on here should have anything but respect for both of these guys! This is what makes boxing great, this is what makes people fans. Like Soundtraveler said please show a little class when posting!

thats BS man his problems were standing in front of him all night long and goes by the name miguel Cotto. You try gettin bashed like that and see if your level of bravery doesnt drop a notch or two.

cotto proved he was the better man, and zab proved he can still compete with the best. zab can still beat 95 percent of the welterweights out there and is very entertaining to watch, win or lose. Its great because my heart is in cotto because he is just such a great person and is an awesome fighter but i like zab alot, i dont care if he wins or loses, and it usually bothers me when a fighter i like loses but with zab, it doesnt. He showed me more in this fight than ever before. except for the times he acted a little towards one of the low blows to try to get cotto from throwing body shots, it was a great night for both. Cotto is the real deal, and i would love to see both fighterse fight the other best, to be honest i would like to see zab fight baldomir again with the same determination he did against cotto.

[Tyson Jones]

stamina and heart go hand in hand. Zab showed he had good stamina and more heart than he has had in a long time, but the thing that he is genetically flawed in his mentall ability to stay together. alot like tyson.

lol thats funny. Your right though to some extent. Its funny how the same ppl who are saying Judah is a ***** and all this BS wouldn't even have the balls to step in the ring, or handle that type of pressure. I mean if a man has the balls to show up to a fight do handle the business knowing that anything could happen in that ring then how are you gona look at him like a *****? Some of y'all that are talking that trash should get back on and go watch Barney
