Cotto v Judah

[PBDS]

....IMO Judah is now **** and was always overated. Cotto will stop him and beat him up badly in the process.

[Addison]

Cotto's really starting to pull away on this poll..

[K-Nan]

If Judah's focused and ready to be a boxer/puncher, he can pick Cotto apart, en route to (possibly) a tko.

[Addison]

Cotto has already won.

[Addison]

Looks like everybodys thinks Cotto for this so just wondering if anybody Fancies Judah for the win.

I think Judah may have a chance at this one..

[Addison]

Ok, I think Cotto may lack the specific weaponry Judah has been susceptible to in the past. The long/extended straight right hand. At least; I don't see Cotto as a guy that throws those Tommy Hearns, Vernon Forrest type extendo shots that foil speedsters like Mosley, Meldrick, and Zab.

I saw Zab getting busted up with it by Mayweather. That's how Kostya did him, and Baldomir changed the whole fight with that punch and almost KO'd Zab with it.

Cotto likes to bull and bore his way in. Zab can stick and move all night if he wants to. He can also load up on a guy who clutches like Miguel does.

He can get off power shots with very little space - in transition.


How many chances will Cotto give Zab to take his head off?

I'm thinking it's going to be one too many.

Too many.


And Cotto doesn't have the chin to match his style.

Let's be fair, Zab has a better chance of avoiding getting hit with those turbo skates.


If it's a battle of the chins as some people are claiming?

Who's chin does everybody think is going to get checked first?

I fancy Zab over Cotto in this fight, i think hel be to fast to get caught with anything that will really rock him.

Cotto's demonstrated ability to recover vs. Zab's strong finishing kinda negates that positive for Cotto a bit, in my mind as well.

And I do mean "finishing" in terms of closing the show on a hurt fighter.

Zab has been gutless when he gets hurt, or gets frustrated.

Good observation Addison, the straight right isnt Cotto's best punch although he has every punch in the book, and Its the 1 Judah is most open to!
Cotto's straight Left from the southpaw stance is sick tho, not sure this would work quite the same or not tho! Question, Why do southpaws like Zab get hit with a straight right anyway? The punch comes from so far back!
I see this fight being most simalar to Cotto vs Corley or Quintana
