Live Chat With Zab Judah on ESPN.com

We Were There! Hershey, Pa. ECW and SmackDown Taping

That’s right. Mr. and Mrs. Jabandgrapple attended the mega-spectacular show last night and it was just as amazing and fun and we could have imagined. The action began at 7:30 p.m. and didn’t stop until a little after 11:00 p.m. It was exhausting…and we weren’t even wrestling!
We’re not going to tell you who wrestled […]

Margarito charged relentlessly with defiant straightforward abandon while Cotto skillfully bobbed, weaved, counterpunched and scored with inspired boxing. Power punch after power punch from both fighters, bomb after bomb.
But in the 11th it was the Mexican, […]
