Cotto v Judah

[Soundtraveler]

Soundtraveler, Ive seen you post before do you work in the boxing scene? by the way nice bike always wanted a chopper, I got an 85 kawasaki eliminator 900 and cant wait for the weather to turn a bit.

damn, i'm worried now. i'm hoping for cotto... but if nostradamus says judah, i say ****!!!!

You know me, I just call em as I see em, but you know I tend to be right on matchups. The last one I got right down to the stoppage, and within seconds of the round predicted lol...

thanks for the vid of martell Addison but it doesnt show much more than the quick left I already knew zab possesed.

[Soundtraveler]

for the Cotto-Judah fight?

Yes, I will be working Zabs "tune up fight" April 14 in Memphis, then it's on to Madison Square Garden for Judah vs Cotto - however, they will bring Buffer in for the Main Event, I will be seen working all the Undercard matches on the PPV though...

is that the wayne martell knockout... zab looks great against martell but martell was a scared clubber just waiting to get knocked out, get paid and go home. cotto is an elite guy

Cotto may have good defense, but he will get hit hard, first.

Zab also has a fine right hook.


We will get more video.

Anyone who has that info will be rewarded.

How can we honestly say that he's an elite guy?

Oh man that's nice...

Is there already an opponnent named for Zab's "tune-up" fight?

The Judah that beat Floyd to the punch for 5 rounds was an anomaly and a result of Floyd's excellent strategy plus the extreme amount of energy exerted by Judah to accomplish this. This was not and is not his usual strategy. Plus Cotto will bring the consistent and brutal body attack that will eventually slow Zab down.

physical advantages: Zab is faster with foot and hand, Cotto is stronger, far stronger. Reflexes of both men are very good.

Cotto does have a good, hard and straight right hand(see Torres knocked down and almost folded over backwards by a Cotto right) Please don't try to tell me Baldomir throws a harder right, no way.

I never saw the Martell fight or saw martell fight but in looking at his record its seems he was a shade or two below Quintana who proved what he was made of against Julio. As far as opposition goes (which Im big into as an indicator) Zab has fought some bigger names, you are correct but lets put it into the proper context:

Kostya Tszyu- Zab got brutally TKO'd in the 2nd round makes for not such good experience

Floyd Mayweather- good opening rounds but faded, got beat up and avoided the possibility of stoppage by overtly fouling

Carlos Baldomir-solid opponent, not known for punching power who changed the fight with 1 punch to Zab's temple, Zab then seemed to play it safe content to losing his title instead of taking more risks

Corey Spinks- super slick with no power. Ugly as hell! Zab went 1 for 2 TKO'ing him in the 2nd fight

the rest of the best guys Zab fought are either well below or just below the last 11 fighters Cotto has fought, every one of those 11 were good to very good opposition who were defeated in impressive fashion. so whose opposition was better is subjective, but Cotto has fought good tough oppostion consistently for several years.

The only mutual opponent was Demarcus Corley, who I have always felt is one of the most underated fighters of recent. Cotto was on his way to destroying Corley when the ref prematurely stopped the fight after Corley was knocked down and than took a knee, Corley did hurt Cotto which prompted a small impression of the now infamous Zab Judah chicken dance. I have not seen Judah vs Corley.

anyway this should give you some food for thought before you write Cotto off and give the impression it all depends on what Zab shows up.

For me that section was slightly speculative.

I just watched that fight again, and Merchant ever refers to how relaxed Zab is.

He was ****ed and locked. What energy was he using?

Martel looked intimidated from the get go.

Martel looked intimidated from the get go.

Definately, the fight means nothing.

Just a snippet of that explosive power.
