    I think he meant Judah. Cotto's punches to the body are so nice and clean

    Zab Nuthuggers...Retire already and collect your pension.
    <<< This is a Warrior's Eye. hahahaha!

      I guess for Zab...what goes around comes around(referring to the low blows). I still got love for Zab cuz he's from NY and Brooklyn. Much respect to Cotto. Sounded like Zab "******" Judah stopped throwing AGAIN.

        Cottos body punches were anything but clean. I saw like 5 low blows and am half asleep seeing it for the 1st time. Prolly more.

          Cotto isn't a dirty fighter, he is a rough fighter and he doesn't make those fouls on purpose. Didn't you saw how he felt sorry after these low blows

            Well, that is quite the epiphany.

            What next? Alive is better than dead? Big is bigger than small?

              I was impressed by Cotto...

              I just saw the fight. Miguel Cotto is a hell of a fighter. Cotto reminds me of Tito, he never stops coming and applying pressure. I like Cotto, I would order his next fight after that performance. He throws nice combos, hes exciting to watch. I do question that stoppage just a little bit, but at the same time I think the ref did the right thing because most likley it was only going to get worse for Zab. I do believe Zab deserves respect from boxing fans now because he showed us he had heart. Zab is a very fun fighter to watch with all his speed, thats why hes always been one of my favorites. Zab does a have a fighter's heart but I think the better fighter won last night.

                i was also impressed, but he reminds me more of julio cesar chavez or castillo with his body shots

                  If the lesson was a simple one, you wouldnt have had as many people (including myself) thinking Zab would show up and be the fighter saturday that he was potentially supposed to be since coming out of the olympic trials, so dont sit there and make a sarchastic remark as if im saying something outlandish or foolish.

                    If you think Cotto is boring I'd like to know who you find exciting.
                    I have seen each and every single one of his fights, i have them all, i up them on this site from time to time upon request.

                    Fighters i find exciting, i guess i can name them off. Chad Dawson, Floyd Mayweather, Francisco Bojado (when hes actually fighting), Juan Manuel Marquez, Rafeal Marquez, Jorge Arce, Winky Wright, Manny Pacquiao, Bernard Hopkins (if hes in there with the right opponent), Vic Darchinyan just to name a few.

                    I dont get motivated to watch cotto fights. I know for some people in and out of the island, its absolutely ludacris that i would see it that way, but i just do, unless cotto is in there with someone i care about, i dont care to see his fights, period.

                    This does not translate into lack of respect. Its the same reason i could never get into Julio Cesar Chavez, im not not that interested in the style unless hes in there with someone i care about, it doesnt mean i dont respect him, because obviously i do.

                      I Give Cotto His Props!!

                      I still havent seen the fight yet but reading this new article has made me give him mad props. I really loved the way he talked after that fight and gave Zab his props. I also liked the way Zab manned up and showed Cotto his respect. I have gained alot of respect for Cotto after reading that article. Rafel is a guy you can usually count on and I believe him and Cotto's people when they said they wouldnt mind a shot at Floyd. Again, I still think its slightly possible because for some strange reason Arum can pull money out of nowhere. If he doesnt put any extra stipulations on the fight like he's famous for then I think Floyd would listen. Imagine Floyd & Cotto in the Garden? That would be super huge but I guess it would be better if it was at the PR pardade next year.

                      Also, since everyone thinks it was a great fight then why not a rematch? I like Zab because he knows reality and he accepts it. He alreayd had a signed contract with Floyd before the Baldy fight. After he loss I heard a writer say to him that you know Floyd is not going to give you the same money now and Zab immediatly said that he knows and he doesnt care, he just wants the fight. He knew he would have to cut that contract alot. After the 1st Spinks fight, Zab immediatly said that he would give Spinks a rematch in STL before anyone even said anything about STL. He doesnt mind the disadvantage and he doesnt have a big enough head to not know that the only way he can get those fights is by giving all the way in. Thats why it wasnt a shocked when he said that he wants a rematch in PR. He knows that its probally the only way he would have any chance at a rematch and he would still do it. It would be fun to see if he could pull off a Spinks 2 and beat Cotto in PR.

                      Still, Cotto gained my respect from what he said. He gave Zab mad props and surprisingly he even said that he thought Zab couldve still went on when the ref stopped it. Not many guys say that. He has my respect, e****ally since it seems to be another great fight where he kept coming after getting rocked.
