heavier than I had hoped for. But he is a big guy.

The Cotto vs Judah fight could be very good. I think Zab's best chance is to hit him hard early. He was jogging with Tito a while back, and Tito said Zab will get a TKO within 4 rounds.

After 4 rounds, Cotto's body punching is a big plus. A guy who punches that well to the body actually can end a fight early, too.

We know the Cotto who will get into the ring is a well-disciplined warrior, who is focused on doing damage to every foe placed in front of him. But, he is not fast, and has been seriously hurt by a guy who wasn't a banger.

Which Zab Judah enters the ring? You never know. And even the good one doesn't take punches well, and is not a study in discipline. But he hits hard, he's very fast, and he puts together good combinations.

I'd favor Cotto .... he'll look to hurt Zab's body, then I expect his powerful short hook to land up top. But I think Zab has a good chance; if Judah is well-prepared, he could end it early, or win by outboxing a slower guy with a limited ability to move his feet.
