    Cotto's Low Blows?

    It seems after a little bit of scattered debate on the issue of the low blows that the people who have made an issue of them had Judah to win predominately.

    It also seems like the folks who had Cotto to win think Judah was either acting, or not injured enough that the fouls caused any bearing on the outcome.

    It affected him on the short term, maybe for the duration of a minute.

    But Zab's reluctance to throw punches and Cotto's fierce determination to win every round were the biggest factors of the result.

      Um those low blows probably did hurt. It may have affected the fight not sure. It definitely made the fight more physical. And maybe mentally it affected Judah as well as physically. I know after you get hit in the nuts it's hard to feel normal for a while. But I don't how Judah felt.

      After two low blows and a constant attack to the body I'm sure it took its toll.

        The first thing either fighter wanted to address at the podium after the fight were the low blows.. The first thing.

        Our perception of what seemed significant doesn't always match up with what the fighters tell us when it's over.

        This time it did.

          I dont know from a boxer's stand point but I would imagine being hurt for a round or two. I think Judah got a bit furious and "accidently" threw in a forearm with a punch to cotto's lip. Judah also said someone stole his piece that helps your swollen eye by the third round? hahaha but you know "im not gonna make any excuses" lol

            I'm not sure. The second low blow was a nasty shot in the nuts. You don't recover that fast after a blow like that. The first shot was a little below the belt line but not as bad as the second but I imagine they took some steam away from Zab.

              I think it depends entirely on how hard someone gets hit.


              Get hit hard enough down there and you go the hospital.

              I should know.. I sent someone there.

                Anyway.. Speaking of controversy - here's some riots.

                I'm glad it didn't happen on saturday..

                It could have if Judah retaliated I'm sure.


                The Golota vs. Bowe riot is funny ****.. Everyone went jungle.

                  Did the hole in his face and cut on his eyebrow (from a deliberate butt) affect Cotto? No.

                  Enough of the excuses.
