Do you think Cotto will come in lighter as he normally does against speedsters?

I actually think he should come in full-blooded and powerful, to get Zab by KO as it has been done before.

Because if Miguel opts to box he could lose too many rounds - Zab was outboxing Mayweather for spells...

I think, cut down the ring, relentless body attack is the key.

All Cotto has to do is be there when the 8th round comes along

This is a bad fight for Cotto. Judah's back is against the wall. He loses. His career is pretty much over. And he knows it. The most dangerous man, is a desperate man. Cuz he ain't got shit to lose. Judah is a desperate man. I'm starting to lean towards him in this fight.

yeh Cotto does look open for it and Zab throws a real nice one occasionally but he wouldn't be in there if his handlers didn't think it was a sure bet.

Judah nearly lost to Corley, Pineda and did lose to Baldomir. Cotto is a level above those guys, he stopped Corley and Quintana (both southpaws) albeit a dubious stoppage against Corley.

If you asked me what two words best describe Cotto I would say preasure and power, the simple fact is Judah can't handle either!

Completely agree here! Judah will be desperate and he knows if he loses his career is totally down the toilet. Would not surprise if Cotto got nailed early!!

I don't think Judah hits nearly as hard as he gets credit for. I really can't see Cotto losing this one. I think the first couple of mean shots Cotto throws, Zab loses his desire to win. He won't land a bomb on Cotto cause he will be scared and going backward. It will be short unless Zab runs.

I know Zab gave PBF some trouble for a couple rounds, but Zab wasn't intimidated by lil Floyds power. He will be by Cotto's. I just don't think Zab is tough enough. He's gonna meltdown after a few hard body shots.

Is Cotto as big and durable as Baldy though?

Im sure Cotto has more firepower - but is he as hardy as the tough Argentinian?

I agree with you bro Judah's got his back against the wall, if he loses he's done!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cotto hit the canvas a couple of times!

I still feel Cotto breaks Judah down & wins a close decision with Judah only just hanging on though.

Cotto KO in the 8th.....Miguel will be hurt a couple times and Zab will run but he'll get caught.

Baldomir doesn't have much power but damn he rocked the SHIT out of Zab

Judah is a simple timing situation.. You give him about 75% speed and power, let him set his pace, then when he drops his hands and backs str8 up, ( a habit that he will take to his grave) , you then slide forward at 100% behind the left hook on his retreat, be ready to watch him dance and then fall.. Cotto will cash him out inside 8 rounds. 8)

Cotto is better in all aspects of the sport. Cotto stops him early as the 2nd round if Zab wishes to trade or 6th if Zab decides to run. All could change with a lucky punch though but it aint happening ;D

True that! 8)

You know if this was a year ago, I would rate Judah's chances a lot higher. When Cotto has got hurt in the past, it's been when he was walking opponents down. And that's what he'll be doing against Judah. But I've seen a lot of improvement thoguh in that aspect. He doesn't just do the earmuff thing anymore, he actually throws coming in. I haven't seen last nights fight yet but against Quintana he was very active moving in and moving out. So I think he's a lot better off coming in and moving out then a lot of people expect him to be.

And Judah, well I think his skills are overrated. He has good speed and pop but a very subpar defense and he isn't right around the edges. You can hit him with the straight right whenever you want basically, he gets hit a lot moving in or out and he drops his hands after every single punch. Most of the time when he is moving out, he's doing it hands down moving straight back. He's such an egotistical fighter and he thinks he can get away with doing all that and he won't get hurt. Then of course when he does get hurt he collapses.

I think we can count on a good 3 to 6 rounds from Zab before he is broken down. He's crumbled against guys who hit a lot lighter then Judah and it only takes one punch for it to happen. Even if he doesn't have a mental breakdown, I think Cotto is the more polished and disciplined boxer of the two.

So I'm picking Cotto. Possibly by late round KO but more then likely it'll end up a lopsided UD.
