Originally posted by Shalafi View PostBoy did Zab get his ass handed to him, I remember watching this fight at a bar and forgot how lopsided this fight was. Cotto bulldozed Judah like a pitbull all night. Zab on the other hand, had his moments, stunned Cotto with that slicing uppercut and big left hand right on Cotto's mug but other than that he just played defensively and barely threw any shots.
Now the reason I'm posting this is, how can Cotto not look good when his opponents are afraid to go in and trade back with him, Judah's got such a fragile mind, easily breakable. The more I see Cotto fight the more I see Margarito just going face to face against him, not wavering, not running, just hitting Cotto with conviction and power. Tony ain't backing down, he will get hammered by Cotto but to no avail, he will break Cotto down. This man can't stand pressure, his chin is shaky no matter what his fans say. Tony is KO'ing this man in the 9th or 10th round, **** it I will go far as saying that possibly earlier on the fight.
End of thread.
Have you put any thought on how Cotto's power kept Judah from going after him? You make Marg as this unstoppable machine that can get hurt and that he is much stronger than Cotto. Cotto is a very strong, powerfull welterweight who will not get pushed around by Marg, he wont break like Cintron did either. Cotto will make Margarito wary of his power and slow him down. He'll break him down and stop him in the later rounds.

Cotto has skills and can box, but he's not a slick boxer, he's not fluent, he's not fleet footed, the people who say otherwise are the ones with his nuts down their throat. Margarito cannot box with Cotto, I'm not saying he can't box but against a guy like Cotto you have feed him his own medicine, punch back, trade shots, get on his chest, **** him up, and Tony has the perfect style for this fight.
