    I believe he was stunned and did it to buy some time. Kinda like how Tito did to Vargas.

    because he came out with the wrong game plan and was getting beaten up, he needed to take a step back and slow judah down and in the end it worked.

    cotto's team don't come up with the best of game plans, judah is a 6 round fighter, so make him think he is infront for the first 6 and then slowly begin to take him apart in the later rounds, similar to what mayweather did to judah.

    Yes I do. Cotto should have been disqualified for all the fouls he committed the headbutts, low blows, rabid punches, punches to the back etc. But, got nothing for it.

    I think they know each other. At the end of one of the rounds he said something to Zab and his father like "were like family" or something like that. And when the fight was stopped in the 11th he was in Zab's ear and said "I love you to much". Not sure if he had anything against Zab but that was a weird situation.

    I'm a big time Judah fan but I have to agree. His fight with Clottey dissappointed me very much cause he was fading AGAIN. I think he might of wanted that fight stopped. Any fighter that really wants to continue will not tell the ref "I can't see".

    He can still do damage at 140 though.

    I think your right I just wish he can effective at welterweight. He can destroy Malignaggi but there's no real glory in doing that. And after the Clottey fight there were rumors that Zab was gonna fight Margo anyway, I was hoping that wasn't true. I'm glad it wasn't.
