I'm no conspiracy theorist but I have a su****ion about this. I have no evidence to back this up. But since the Judah fight i've been playing close attention to low blows when watching fights. In practically all fights where any significant amount of body punches are thrown some low blows are landed. Usually the fighter dosen't even notice it. I have NEVER seen somebody react to low blows like Zab did that night. The closest I remember is in the Bowe-Golota riot fight, but that was after Bowe got hit with many low blows by a big 240 pound Polack.
I realize low blows can hurt, even with the cup. But Zab's reaction was way over the top. And of course he didn't take the full 5 minutes.
My cynical theory? He came to the fight with a game plan of making a show about any low blows to neutralize Cotto's body attack and get points taken off.
