Cotto speaks "The same will happen ala Kostya vs Judah" video

Another thing to mention about Cotto is heart. Something I don't think Zab has very much of. Sure Cotto was put down by Torres a couple of times, but he got back up everytime and started kicking ass. Something I haven't seen Zab do when he's in trouble. Once momentum swings away from Zab, he goes down hill. Another characteristic worth mentioning for this fight is focus. The only time I've ever seen Zab truly focused on nothing but the man in front of him was when he rematched spinks. Cotto is always focused on his opponent, I'm willing to bet that he doesn't think about anything else once a fight date has been set. And no one should rule out a repeat of the Tsyu fight. Cotto definitely has the power for that. However Zab does have speed on his side, it's makes for an extremely interesting fight.

Cotto was down once in that fight and he was pulled down.
Cotto at the end of the fight accepted it as a knock down while he was talking to Larry Merchant. He said he went to war to give the fans a show.
It was a great show indeed. 6 out of 7 rounds were 10-8 rounds. You can't find much more action in a fight than that. That fight was the bomb.
Evangelista Cotto was pissed, he kept telling Miguel to stop trading but Cotto went right on trading like he was on Wall Street.

No, but he should have went down a few times. Torres was all over him like white on rice. He threw everything but the kitchen sink at Cotto.

CC Puya and Danny G. I find it annoying when people say Cotto was knocked down(he was pushed) and he has a weak chin(he was fighting guy with 98% KO ratio who ahs since gone one to become a world champion). Torres must have landed at least 20 plus CLEAN power punches to Cotto's jaw and still he could only get Miguel down by pushing him. Other than that,and when Corley shook him,when else has he been hurt? Corley also buzzed Mayweather,more so than any other fighter so that's not too bad. Cotto has shown heart. Determination. Power. And although I miss the old boxer Cotto with much much tighter defence this new-ish Cotto is a force!

I think Zab gets far too much credit for the PBF fight. The two things that helped Zab is PBF did little to nothing the first 4 rounds, and Zab didn't fear PBF's power. I think the first time Zab feels a shot from Cotto he's gonna become defensive. He's getting ko'd. No question in my mind. And Zab doesn't hit nearly as hard as people think he does.

CC! Agreed on every point. Zab has not KO'd anyone of merit except a spent Spinks. And Zab gets WAY to much credit for 3 and a half rounds of Floyd laying back.

torres had a 98% Ko percentage against nobodies... And to say he went on to become a world champion is giving him a bit too much credit.. I mean he won a boring, close contraversial decision against Mike Arnatouis... Who incidently he never hurt. I like Cotto and Im not knocking him, but it's not as if since he dug down and won a firecracker against Torres then it's not fair to give Judah a chance to stop him... Torres is a very limited fighter who has no jab or cross to speak of, and poor finishing ability from what I saw. He hurt Cotto badly several times with tight hooks in close... But then just kept going forward looking to land the same thing, which imo gave Cotto a better chance to recover and fight it out than he would have against many a fighter were he to end up that hurt. No doubt in my mind, that if judah hurts Cotto as badly and as often as Torres did, Zab will either knock him out or the ref will wave it off. Sure since then Cotto has seemingly improved his defence and has more in his arsenal... But Judah has a lot more in his arsenal than Torres. That's all Im saying I guess. Zab can mix up his shots and show different angles, and I would consider him an excellent finisher, though he's hardly proved it on multiple occasions. I couldn't see Cotto being repeatedly put on queer street like he was against Torres and managing to hang on in the same fashion. Judah is too quick and he does know how to put combinations together. This is a real pick em fight for me, each fighter has the style to give each other nightmares. Cotto is easily powerful enough to put Judahs lights out with a good punch, and he is very poised and always attacking. But Judah is very fast and fairly slick, and I think he hits hard enough to badly hurt Cotto. I guess the verdict is still out on Miguels chin. If Cotto takes Judahs best shots early without being rocked, it's over for Zab imo... But who's to really say he can. I definetly expect Judah to land the better punches in the early going... I won't be able to pick a winner until I see the first round, it's that kind of fight.

Please bro. Did you see the dishwasher Zab was fighting? Galvan.
Zab was sloppy. If he comes at Cotto in the same fashion, Zab is getting dropped by an over hand right.
The only reason Zab looked so (so called good) against PBF is because the have sparred and PBF coasted but when PBF shifted gears, Zab was being clowned. Watch the over hand right.
