Zab Judah vs Margarito, Cotto vs Alfonso Gomez (double header)
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Well...I'd like to see the two who I think are going to lose...win.
Judah and Gomez.
Judah has a better chance, IMO, but his head is so far up his ass I don't think he can remove it in time to get serious about this.
Gomez is a terrific fighter, but I think Cotto is just too much right now. < Pains me saying that, as I hate Cotto.

I think the plan is for Cotto and Margarito to win, so they can fight later in the year and the winner of that fights Floyd Mayweather.
However, I think the plan will be spoiled a bit. Cotto will win, likely by KO, however I think Super Zab Judah will surprise everyone and fight his ass off to steal a UD. I'm risking a lot with that prediction, lol, but I just have this feeling he's going to come in prepared.
I used to hate Cotto too, but after his fights with Zab Judah and Shane Mosley I've gained a lot of respect for the guy. He's a great fighter and I didn't realize before, but he seems very humble and isn't annoying like some other big star athletes (even though I highly disprove of his plucked eyebrows!).

I'm also looking for Judah to steal the show.
For awhile I though margarito was alright, but He recovers too slow, Judah's gonna catch him and hopefully be back in this shit, cuz He's still one of my top fighters along with Cotto and Mayweather.
Cotto and Gomez I'm still hoping is not true. because from what I understand it hasn't been confirmed. But Oscar announces today who he's gonna fight. Still Cotto is always exciting no matter who he fights. at 147 he's #1

That was a good fight.
The ref was obviously an idiot for stopping the fight, but Corley was taking a lot of punishment prior to the stoppage, you must admit. Cotto got hurt too during the fight, but Corley did go down three times and took more punishment than cotto did.
They were both from Puerto Rico, and I think the ref was just an idiot. He also took a point away from Cotto for a low blow and never issued a warning, but when Corley low blowed Cotto (which sent him to the canvas), he only warned Corley.
So I think that was a case of a horrible referee, rather than favoring the home town star or whatever

I somewhat agree, but I think the outcome was semi-decided before the fight, anyways.
One of the morons in Cotto's corner, immediately after the stoppage: "This is our house! This is our house!" LOL
And one of Corley's ''knockdowns'' was more of a push than anything, but whatever. It's done...
I'm just ready for some good fights.

HAHAHAHA!!! I didn't catch that
Yeah I know which one your talking about. It was a good fight though but I agree it was stopped prematurely. I just happen to think Cotto was about to win anyways.
Seems like '08 will be another good year. Lots of good fights coming up.
Paul Williams vs. Quintana
Pavlik vs. Taylor
Nikolai Valuev vs. Sergei Liakhovich
Klitschko vs. Sultan Ibragimov (unification finally)
Israel Vazquez vs. Rafael Marquez
Oleg Maskaev vs. Samuel Peter
Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao
Casamayor vs. Michael Katsidis
Chad Dawson vs. Glen Johnson

Margarito is one of the most overrated ''stars'' in the game right now; it's not a given that he'll win this fight even if Judah is half-ass prepared. Margarito's stamina is suspect, as is his chin (so has Judah's lately), but it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Judah catch him with a quick punch in this.
With that said...I'd still probably lean towards the most probable outcome being a Margarito decision, with a Judah KO being a distant second.

Zab is a front runner like Mayweather said. He always starts off good in the early rounds and then just loses it after about half of the fight. Physically Zab is there but mentally he's not and never was. With his talent he should have been just a good as Mayweather or even better. He has all the skill in the world. But he doesn't understand how to win fights....that's why he's going to get knocked out.
