Struck a nerve? Please. Don't flatter yourself. It just seems really silly to me that you would create a post asking "Did Cotto low blow Zab deliberately?" Then when posters reply with evidence suggesting the blows more than likely were not intentional, rather than counter with an intelligent response or anything sensible at all, you dismiss the claims off as biased statements from Cotto fans attempting to save face. Which is hilarious when you are guilty of doing the exact thing you're accusing others of doing. Oh the irony... Yep.
Its the same case as with Trinidad vs Vargas, sure they might have been intentional but they would not change the outcome of the fight, both Trinidan and Cotto were superior to their foes and the knockouts were bound to happen sooner or later. If Cotto rematched Judah the same outcome would be expected, Cotto by brutal knockout.
Those were deliberates to break the action and flip the course of the action no doubts about it but pradoxically, Zab didn't lose primarily because of that so he doesn't deserve a rematch, he does deserve a good a good payday and a credible opponent, I wouldn't go as far as say another title shot right away with Cintron or Williams, but at least a eliminator against someone like Tony Margarito Hell Yeah

deliberate or not after the low blows judah came out strong after landing great punches... what people have to realize a fighter doesnt like losing, theres only a few that would go out and just simply give respect and say he was the better man today...
LOL at the cotto haters, if we are not supposed to defend cotto then who is?? you? why didn't the fight change when cotto was hit low and headbutted a few times busting his eye and lip open?? and please dont flatter yourself you did not **** anybody off, this is a message board if you get pissed off then you are stooopid atsch and so what if mosley beats cotto? mosley is a great fighter, he beats alot of fighters. :hi: :hi: :hi:
Cotto doesn't have the heart to hold when he's hurt and when cotto get's stunned or in serious trouble he has to go low in order to recover,it's cotto's low blows that do the most damage.And it's ashame paulie survived and put up a better fight then quintana,bailey,corley,judah and even urkal roughed cotto up and he's not even a welterweight. COTTO SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS FIGHT,BECAUSE HE'S GONNA TAKE THE WORSE BEATING OF HIS LIFE IN FRONT OF ALOT OF HIS FANS AND THAT MY FRIEND=COTTO WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
after cotto was stunned in the first round, around 30 seconds later he threw the first low blow, so he waited that long to throw a punch?? and if urkal isn't a welterweight then neither is cotto, and why is it a shame paulie survived??
i can understand you thinking the second one was intentional but the first one was clearly accidental, he was out of trouble 30 seconds after he got rock he throw a 1-2 left hook to the body combination and it landed near zabs groin area, if it was so painful zab wouldn't have taken 2-3 seconds to reacts, he would have went down immediately
Zab judah is no angel and has a history of not playing so clean. Low blows are part of the sport and are strategically utilized, these are world class precision athletes. RELENTLESS I understand cotto is your favorite boxer and all, by not acknowleging that cotto is capable of utilizing these veteran tactics, your credibility comes into question. We all have a right to disagree and make valid points and counter points. I critique my favorite fighters with transparency and unfortunatly cotto has become your deity and you can't look past that.
