I have been hit in the balls with a lacrosse ball while I was wearing a cup and it hurt like hell. 10 minutes later I still felt a little raw but I kept playing.

Cotto has bricks in his hands. They landed flush and they were painful to watch. I am 100% the low blows effected Zab quite a bit just b/c they came at times when he was showing momentum.

However, I don't blame Cotto and I don't think it takes away from his victory at all. Cotto won convincingly. They simply got him out of trouble when he needed it.

Judah could've rebounded from the low blows, but he choose not to. He decided to linger on them, stop punching and run/get beat down for the rest of the fight.
