    Default Cotto-Judah: Warriors Speak!

    http://www.fightnews.com/stern04.htm

    Both fighters were effusive in their praise for the other. Cotto paid tribute to Judah's power and heart: "[Judah] is a great puncher. He hit me pretty good and put me in trouble twice in the fight but thanks to god I can take his punch." He added, "Zab came to win. Zab came very prepared for this fight. He showed everybody that he wants to be a champion again. It was the toughest fight of my career."

    A beaten but proud Judah proclaimed, "[Cotto] is a great young fighter. He's very determined. I love what he does." He also acknowledged Cotto's durability and recuperative skills: "Miguel is a tough fighter. He took some good shots and came back. He was able to weather the storm. He does his job well." Later, he added that Cotto's toughness under pressure impressed him the most: "When I hit him, he kind of weathered the storm very, very excellent and that kind of surprised me because he was able to conduct himself [with] the control that he did."

    Despite giving credit to Cotto, Judah also had his share of excuses: "I got hit with two hard low blows. It did a lot to me. I got a lot of swelling on the back of my head." He also complained about referee Arthur Mercante Jr., who by most ringside accounts, did an excellent job at maintaining control of the fight under difficult circumstances: "[After going down from the second low blow] he told me to get up because 'you can't win the fight on the ground.'"

    "In a year that has seen a disappointing and over-hyped Mayweather-De La Hoya fight fail to live up to expectations, Zab summed up the night's fireworks perfectly: "It was a beautiful night. It brought back boxing."
