Cotto vs. Judah rematch almost done deal!

[Evil_Meat]

Zab Judah didn't even win one single round, and if he blames the low blows for not even winning one round then thats sad.

wow, I really don't think you watched the fight

Read Bob Arum's interview on the same site as the Yoel Judah interview. Bob Arum said the Cotto Judah fight did about 2 hundred thousand and some change. He also said that the fight did well in Puerto Rico and the New York area but it didn't do well out West.
I would take Bob Arums word on the PPV sales over Yoel Judah because Bob Arum has more money to lose or gain by the PPV sales than Judah does. Since that fight only did 2 and some change Cotto isn't a bigger draw or hold more star power than PBF as some of you like to say.
Cotto is more of a draw right now because of his nationality than his skills.
Damn I didn't know this site censored the other when you type the name up. Good for business I guess

That means one thing primarily; Mexicans could give a **** about Cotto.

........And of course the rest of folks out West as well..

When I was in Las Vegas I was talking to everyone I could by phone and otherwise - and nobody, I mean nobody had any idea there was a fight taking place or who Miguel Cotto was/is on June 9..

When he demolishes Margarito, if they ever fight, I guarantee you Mexicans will know who he is then.

That's a good point - he would definately get their attention that way.

It's very important to his career he performs well in that fight should it take place.. The PPV numbers from the Judah fight are non-befitting..

I think Judah wins this rematch by KO, setting the stage for a rubbermatch that might not make any PPV records, but it'll go down as being comparable to any great fights in the last 10 years or so, with the exception of only a few.

Judah is perfectly capable of beating Cotto if he keeps his hands working. He's faster, has great power, more ring experience, and enough cash to buy a stainless-steel cup. Or maybe he'll just have his balls bronzed before the fight. Anyway, I think he had it in his head that he was going to KO Cotto early, and just didn't come into the ring in the shape he needed to be in. I don't believe he'll make that mistake again.

Interesting point. Zab may have felt that he could get an early KO, but he fades a lot. Remember, he said that in the early round he was dropping grenades on Floyd, but in the end lost steam. IMO, Zab can't handle pressure fighters, that is what Cotto did, and when Floyd took over their fight his only change was to pressure Zab.

BTW, PBF v Zab was a good fight.

OH, look at that nice punch zab landed in the first round that stunned Cotto for a brief second. Obviously you didn't see the score-cards the judges had. They had it the same as me. They gave every single round to cotto. To win a round you have to land more punches, understand? All three judges gave every single round to cotto, but deducted the the points from the low-blows.

Is that true?

The scores were 97-91 three times.

Through ten rounds, wouldn't Miguel have had 100? Minus the point deduction makes it 99?

What am I missing?

that doesn't seem that likely cotto goes \/

zab really made for cotto with his fear/lack of knowing how to deal with pressure marg isn't....
marg is made for counter-punchers at WW not cotto
