    I had forgotten how entertaining this fight was. What were your thoughts on this fight? Who did you think was going to win at the time and why?

    I think that was the most packed MSG attendance in a while.

    Yoel Judah definitely sucks: Boom boom boom boom Zip zappity zap ZAB! You hurt him him give him some bam bam! (shadowboxing while dropping water all over the second corner man.)

    I loved it, I remember watching it and actually being mad about the low blows and thinking zab would have been way more of a threat down the stretch had that not happened. Cotto rarely disappoints.

    Quality fight.. i love the way Cotto adjusted his style, although i do feel Judah was too small for him!!

    The atmosphere seemed electric.

    Obviously Cotto/PR Zab nY connection

    That intial low blow changed Zab.... after that he barely threw a punch for two whole rounds... right after a round in which he had Cotto hurt bad.

    was a badass fight.... as are most of cottos fights.


    Yesterday i rewatched Cotto vs Mosley and Cotto vs Bailey.

    Cotto vs Mosley..... holy ****, the first 4 rounds or so of that fight are two elite fighters dishing some punishment on eachother, its seriously a SKILLFULL dogfight between two top tier fighters. Beautiful.

    Cotto vs Bailey is an amazing, amazing display of body punching.

    lol, judah was beating cotto well, he was way too fast and sharp for cotto, couple of low blows sorted that out and suddenly cotto started. dont say **** like cotto always had a crap start he was getting beaten every single way, then come low blows know cotto is winning.

    Great fight, I don't think there has been a bad Cotto fight. I was rooting for Cotto as I am a fan and I hate Judah, but I didn't think he would win. He made adjustments and just brokedown Judah.

    Not to be an Emmanuel Steward but it went exactly like I thought it would. I knew Judah's explosive combo of speed and power would give the normally slow starting Cotto some rough times but Cotto is resilent and Judah isnt a great finisher I figured Cotto's body work and consistent fighting style would break Judah apart. Very entertaining fight give Cotto credit for bringing good fights back to the Garden.

    Judah had trouble letting his hands go even when the openings were there. On the rare occasions when he did let them go, he did really well. For the most part he had little trouble avoiding Cotto's jab which is something that really stood out to me. But Cotto was getting so little offense thrown back at him that he just walked judah down and power punches his arms and ribs to ****. This fight is the main reason i'm so confident in picking Pacquiao
