Any chance you could give your thoughts or a quick write up possibly on Juddah-Cotto?
Also, I have tied Tarver into a couple parlays for the last leg. Anything I should worry about?
I agree with MF, Muriqi is not on the same level
Judah +350 is a value play, line was way too high as its now down to +250. I could scalp it off but I won't and here's why...
Cotto was severely hurt by Corley and Torres not long ago. Corely is a southpaw like Judah, and Judah is much faster and hits much harder than Corley. Cotto is very skilled, technically sound, hits hard, great body puncher...but his handspeed is not even close to Judah's and Zab has better footwork. Cotto is a methodical stalker who keeps coming forward, but his defense is not good. Judah's punches are extremely sharp and accurate, and his straight left hand is a killer.
I still think that physically Judah is p4p one of the best in the game, its his head that loses fights.
Judah easily won the first half of the Mayweather fight before running out of gas late. He hit Mayweather with some big straight left hands that had Floyd stunned/hurt several times. Zab's the only one who has consistently landed clean shots against Mayweather's defense. Castillo gave Floyd a good fight, but he wasn't landing big shots like Judah did in the first half of the fight. DLH didn't come close to landing big shots the way Zab did.
Anyway, Zab was able to land on Floyd like no one else has b/c of his handspeed. Floyds instincts on defense are unbelievable, but Zab's straight left hand was quicker, and you could see it on Floyd's face every time he got tagged.
However, Zab is a front-runner and he will lose his handspeed and footwork as the fight goes along, esp if Cotto is able to land his big body shots. So I think Judah has to get it done in the first 6 to 8 rounds. I don't think Zab will be consistent enough to win a decision here, but its possible. I think Zab knows what he's getting into and will go for the early ko. Whether he gets it done or not I don't know, but I'll take the +350 and see what happens. Either way it should be a great fight.
