Round By Round: Cotto vs. Gomez & Margarito vs. Cintron

Time to move up I think, either that or his chopping block head has just taken one too many over the years, which is very plausible .

 

4 to 0 for

margarito. good fight but margarito is busting cintron up.

 

You almost feel sorry for Cintron. You know he can punch but it's like he's hitting a damn brick wall. The punches have no effect on Margarito.

 

Kermit Cintron 29-1 (27 Ko's)
vs.
Antonio Margarito 35-5 (25 Ko's)

Left to the body, right uppercut by Margarito fighting close now, right uppercut, left hook by Margarito. CINTRON blocks many of them...but Margarito throwing tooooo many.

Jab/right hand by Margarito, another right by Margarito, CINTRON COMPLAINS and turn his back at Margarito...REF warns Margarito...CINTRON has the SAME LOOK he had a few years ago in his first fight...LEFT HOOK/RIGHT hand/LEFT hook by Margarito landing CLEAN and HARD...

Right hand by Margarito, Cintron looks ready to go....

Round 5: Margarito..

 

Manny: "Kermit he takes a good punch, you have to try and box"

 

Cintron better land a blind shot in a perfect place on Margarito, because he's getting overwhelmed by Margarito's pressure and activity, and getting torn apart up close with short uppercuts and hooks.

 

Margarito using angles very well; smartly steps to the side and works his left whenever their bodies touch. Cintron is on his game tonight and is dangerous throughout. Excellent fight, as I expected.

 

Cintron quit. He coulda got up

RIght hand, LEFT TO THE BODY by MARGARITO DOWN GOES CINTRON......6...7....8....9..10...

It's OVER...

MARGARITO WINS!!

 

is CINTRON crying again....:::: can't tell from all the blood around his face...

 

Beautiful body shot.

 

He was getting killed. Margarito was a monster tonight. He took bombs like they were nothing.

 

Body punch did the trick

Cintron was taking a beating and lost every round. He fought back but magarito was landing very damaging punches in every round.

 

He earned the right to cry. He fought an incredible fight. That is a FOTY contender.

Margarito-Cotto is gonna be a bloodbath.

 

If I was Cintron I'd be crying too. When things started getting rough, he was trying to find a way out. Dude doesn't have the mindset to be a champion.:nono:

 

I'm sure they'll interview Cintron after the fight. But they won't be able to interview his spirit, as that left the building midway through the 2nd round.

TFK

 

Owie, any streams?

 

My baby!

 

::

I can't understand how people can knock a guy like Antonio Margarito. The guy never complains about money and is willing to fight anybody. Sure, he's not a Mayweather talent but he's awfully tough to beat and has been a fixture at or near the top of the welterweight division for over five years. And he's fought Clottey, Williams, Cintron and now Cotto (should he win) in succession. Give the man his due.

 

I don't know about FOTY, it may be too one-sided for that. Entertaining, but like Pavlik-Miranda, not enough from the loser to make it that.

 

He was willing to fight Cotto in June 07.....

 

Cintron landed the right hand nearly everytime he threw it. Cintron landed alot of bombs in the fight.

 

really? i thought it left in round 3..but then came backa bit in round 4...but then he saw his own blood again...and got KOed..

 

poor.

 

:laughing:

pmsl

 

Cintron improved his defense signficantly..he was avoiding alot of Margarito punches.....but Margarito just threw tooo many..and Cintron was just had the BIG RIGHT hand...and the left every now and then..

 

Miranda landed some clean punches as well.

But they had almost no visible effect on Margarito, who continually outworked him throughout the fight.

It was a good fight, but not in the class of those from March.

 

Antonio Margarito,.. is brilliant!!... reshuffle your p4p lists gentleman, I've got him #2 behind Pacquioa.
