Is Zab making an excuse

[deliveryman]

Of course Zab is making an excuse.

Going into this fight, I really thought that Zab would of put on a better performance, considering this was pretty much a career ending fight for him as a top fighter.

He's not an idiot, he knows his career is now over, and will say anything to salvage it.

If the rematch happens (which I don't think it should), Cotto will kick his ass again.

All I can say is , fights like this are what boxing is all about. There's very few fights where two in their prime fighters take on each other. Zab may or may not have been slowed down by the nut shots but one thing for certain it was a hell of a fight!

zab makes excuses after every single one of his losses, he lives in nothing but denial, which is one of many reasons why i don't like zab judah.





i was saying the same thing during the fight, i was telling my friends, if zab loses he's going to blame the fighti on the low blows, which the first low blow was a hard shot below the belt, which hurts but not how zab was acting, and the second low blow was due to zab pulling cotto's head down and jumping back at teh same time; you pull a guys head down while he's trying to throw a shot to the body, especially an uppercut, he's going to land low, plain and simple, watch the tape if you disagree.............peace.

So you are saying Zab wanted to get hit in the nuts so he can have an excuse? Whatever man. Cotto is a cheater. Just like Vargas and Hatton.

i think they did hurt,but he was always going to lose that fight so it makes little difference

[ippo]

I will never be a fan of cotto after he pulled that crap, he did the low blows right after he got hurt perfect timing.

[Kayjay's Ghost]

I think what he said is probably true; it just shows a lack of what some people refer to as 'class' to say it in the interview just after the fight. This is why he'll always be unpopular. The boy just wasn't raised well.

That second low blow was absolutely vicious. I think he should have taken more time to rest after it tho. I hate when fighters take more time then they should, but I don't think ANYONE with a pair of balls would hold it against him if he took more time. Because I also hate when fighters make excuses. I knew after that and if he lost it would be the first thing he blamed, and it was. And, it looked like Cotto's head was pushed down as he threw the punch, thats why it landed low. Manny even pointed this out at the end. Can't really say its intentional IMO.
