I'm impartial to these guys as fighters, I guess I'll be rooting for Cotto, it's better for boxing if he wins.
I think Baldomir earned a 'close' decision or something like that, similar to the way old Pineda should've earned that 'close decision' Lib Four Lib, I think he should be viewed in the same way Pineda was.

Gatti-Floyd, Judah-Bumdomir,Bumdomir-Gatti, Floyd-Bumdomir. Perhaps the most offensive merry-go-round of horseshit ever in the history of a now suitably defaced Welterweight Divsion.
It may have been close, but it was undisputed and unanimous, plus Pineda didn't beat Judah, nor did he deserve the decision like a lot of the myth makers like to spin it. True that he made it close, and Judah did his part with his usual lack of effort and fire, but Judah still did enough in the early part to earn the win.
I'll be rooting for Zab, but I have little faith in him winning this fight. He COULD win given what happened to Cotto against Corley, but Zab will always find a way to lose against a pressure fighter. Cotto is gonna fuck him up.
Cheer for Judah? :: I'd never cheer for that loser. I don't even think his own family like him. Fuck that prick.
Very likely. Cotto has exceptionally heavy hands. If Zab doesn't get to him early, Corley will simply break him down clinically and irresistably... Either way...unless Zab gets on his bike and stays there...this fight cannot possibly go 6 rounds!!
Judah I'm a Friend and Fan Judah needs this win...Cotto's chin isnt strong enough for Judahs punch, hopefully Zab can take what Cotto has to offer, it can be a very easy win for Judah or a very hard win for Judah..but I see him pulling it off no matter what...Judahs uppercut will be great punch for this fight. Judah una decision, or mid-fight KO
Zab Judah is an obnoxious cunt, but I'd like to see him win just so all of those idiot Cotto fans will cry.
I was a Zab fan once upon a time. But he is a waste of talent. Cotto will fight a tight methodical fight and break Judah down mentally and physically. Cotto by tko 8
I normally root for Judah because he is fun to watch. Weather it's his boxing performance or him acting a fool it's entertaining. :: But I gotta root for Cotto. I just think he will end up being a better fighter. I like this fight because the styles make for an exciting fight. I also like both fighters so I really don't wanna see someone lose. I just rather it be Cotto.:cheer:
This is Zab's LAST CHANCE to Make Something Out of his Career...His LAST CHANCE @ Winning the "Big One"... If he LOSES this Fight,Zab is just an OPPONENT Henceforth.... Since REED likes BOTH Fighters,he's Not Openly Rooting for Either...REED just Wants to C a GOOD Fight... Zab will B the More DESPERATE Fighter,but Desperation Doesn't Always Win Fights.... REED
I don't think beating Cotto will be considered "the big one". Nobody considers Cotto that good yet. Hell Zab is the biggest fight in Cotto's carreer till now. While Zab has fought better fighters in Tszyu and Floyd. I think beating Cotto will put Zab back on the map as well as giving him a tittle. But he will be as important at 147 as Shane and Margarito. I think beating one of them guys after Cotto will definately put him at the top of the 147 division.
Whats the point of a rematch? Floyd kicked his ass, and Zab tried to quit. If Zab wins, then it puts him in line to fight the winner of Margarito-Williams.
I tend to think that if Malginaggi was able to survive, then I see no reason that Judah can't. Be that as it may, I wouldn't look past Zab. He's still young and close enough to his prime to win this fight if he makes the smart decisions(I know he never does). One thing is certain, I expect fireworks. This one will not be a feel out fight. I have little doubt Zab will come out of the gates of hell and look to take this guy out. Cotto had better be ready. And if Cotto survivs Zab's best stuff, its his fight, by then he'll be breaking Zab down badly to the body and making it a war of attrition. With all that said, I'm taking the "upset". Zab knows this is his last shot at becoming anything. I think he's the hungrier fighter at this point. Zab's dedication wavers and when you participate at a sport that has this level of intensity, there is no excuse. Zab has one last chance at putting it all together. He's in the same position he was prior to facing Spinks in St Louis. Its an exact REPLICA. If Zab loses this one, its all over. He MUST know this. And I think that because he does, he'll rise to the occasion and put on an awesome display of speed, skill, athleticism, and power. Cotto will be caught off guard by this as he gets beaten by a hungier fighter. Judah via 8th round KO
