By the way, Gabriel, you still havn't answered why conditioner got his prediction dead right and you completely missed yours.
I don't think shitrons intention was to fling himself out of the ring in fear. Why would he? He was winning! But he did push off with his back leg after his upper body was through the ropes propelling him forward at a faster speed, ie he jumped. I don't know what to tell you guys. How do you defend this ****? He jumped. He fell. And had no desire to continue. Period.
On the fight? I don't feel I got my pick wrong at all. I don;t think Kermit lost. And I am nowhere close to being in the minority. Though I was teh only one on press row to pick Kermit to win (I picked him split decision). Had the ABC rules been in effect, which I believe makes more sense, you wouldn;t be asking me this question. Williams landed three flush shots. Kermit landed a better one of his own backing Williams off. At the time of the ending, the momentum had swung sharply back to Kermit.
C'mon.....:think The commentators clearly stated Williams was beginning to assert himself. And the video clearly shows Cintron intentionally dived out of the ring; there's slow mo. He then played dead for 10 minutes ;now he says he wanted to continue but got stopped by the doctor. People have eyes. 1+1=2
The day I trust an HBO commentator (that isn't Larry Merchant), who have a producer in their ears telling them what to think and say, is the day I quit the business and shoot myself. I'm not kidding.
I don't blame you. But surf on other boxing forums and you will see like here pictures of flying frogs all over the place. Cintron found a way out, and it's all on film.
