Judah Cotto Odds

Written by Jimmy Boyd

A big fight night is coming up on June 9th and if you want to get some boxing betting then take a look at these Judah Cotto odds from a couple of leading online sportsbooks. Zab “The Jab Super” Judah is the underdog coming in this fight even though he is a former champion at junior welterweight and former undisputed champion in the welterweight division. This guy is one of the fastest in boxing with both his hands and his feet, but has a problem of being a showboater who can get caught up in putting on a show and losing his concentration. Judah was suspended for the first time back in November of 2001 when he lost to Kostya Tszyu, giving up his junior welterweight title. Judah thought the fight was stopped prematurely and pushed his gloved-fist into the throat of the ref before returning to his corner and throwing his ring stool at him. He came back and was successful once again, until when he was losing in the 10th round to Floyd Mayweather, he gave him a low blow and a punch to the back of Mayweather’s head. A riot then broke out and while Mayweather stood in the corner, Judah got invovled in the ensuing melee and as a result was suspended once again. This will be only the second fight since his suspension and in the fight fight against Ruben Galvan looked pretty convincing that he is on a mission.

Miguel Angel Cotto comes into this match undefeated at 29-0 with 24 knockout victories. He is a favorite over Judah, mostly because of his track record and also because he has been fighting consistently while Judah was suspended. Cotto has beaten a lot of big names in his division and has been ranked no. 1 in the division since September of 2003 when he knocked out Demetrio Ceballos in the seventh round. Cotto had a great 2004 when he beat Sammy Sosa’s cousing, Victoriano Sosa by knockout in the fourth and Lovemore Ndou in a twelve round unanimous decision. He has since moved up to the Welterweight division in order to find some stiffer competition and to prove himself even more. His first fight took place in December when he took the WBA title from Carlos Quintana in a corner stoppage before the sixth round. He has had one title defense and scored a technical knockout in the eleventh over Oktay Urkal on March 4th. If Cotto can get through Judah then there is talk about him facing Ricky Hatton, Floyd Mayweather Jr, or Kermit Cintron later this year.
