Miguel Cotto TKO's Zab Judah!

As expected, Miguel Cotto dominated Zab Judah in the later rounds with the referee eventually stopping the fight at the eleventh round. Zab Judah came out strong during the early rounds and Cotto was penalized for low blows, but he eventually took control on the late rounds slowly breaking Zab's body down. Zab was good, only Cotto was better. This fight opens up an opportunity for Miguel Cotto to fight whoever wins the Antonio Margarito versus Paul Williams WBO Championship bout. My prediction for the Margarito bout would be a win by Margarito over the undefeated Paul Williams maybe via decision. That would make a great match-up possible between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito. More info at : http://www.boxingscene.com/index.php?m=show&id=9008.

Miguel Cotto vs. Zab Judah

So the fight dubbed as "X-PLOSIVE!" is coming up this 9th of June on HBO Pay-per-view. WBA Welterweight Champion Miguel Cotto will defend his title against Zab "Super" Judah. The question is: Should I buy the fight? I have seen Cotto's fights and, to me, he is a very exciting fighter. In fact, he knocked out once undefeated Carlos Quintana in just five rounds in their fight for the WBA championship belt. I might just buy it for him, but I'm not sure about Judah. His last fight against Mayweather was just a big disaster and I hope he won't do it at this fight. During the last press conference for this fight, both fighters promised to win, but there's only one winner and we wouldn't like any draws. My prediction for this fight is a win by Cotto either by knockout or decision, but the knockout has a higher possibility. I'll be keeping my eyes and ears on this fight.
