LOL!!!!! He will never live this down!! Get this. Puerto Rico's national animal is a frog! I'm not making this up.
Seriously, you're an idiot. ..and to Joe.. Cintron might be a *****, but bitching about him after he ditched you sounds like sour grapes and trying to get back at him.
The 'Cintron Jump' will one day be synonymous, in common vernacular, with other well known phrases like the 'Dempsey Roll', or the 'C Walk', or the 'Running Man', or the 'Moonwalk', or Michael Jordan's 'Air'.
That must have hurt. He was overbalanced and was on the balls of his feet leaning forward which propelled him. If you look at the slow motion, His head was snapped back quite horribly over the side of the ring. Add that to the fact that his whole body weight snapped back on it with momentum... not a nice sight to see. I'm just watching it again now on sky and it's really not pleasant the way his body twisted over. It's unfortunate to lose a fight in such a manner but things like this happen in the sport of boxing. It's not the first time and it won't be the last... Very strange ending to the fight.
Does this Cintron fiasco really warrant you spouting 1000 insults in as many threads ? By now you should have set a record for most profanity posts inside a day.
Thanks Joe for taking the time to give us all this great info ! There's so many irrelevant threads and certainly not enough like this one filled with guys directly involved with the fighters & industry in general. By the way, are you familiar with the poster "CHEF" ? He works or rather feeds the Klitschkos...lol, therefore he's also around Manny Steward, etc.. He also has some interesting info to pass on every now and then. Thanks again :good
Agreed. During one of the slow mo replays from an angle outside of the ring, it was pretty clear that the fall was bad. The area between Cintron's head and neck slammed against the edge of the ring before his body hit the table. That was why he was holding the back of his neck after the impact. I think we boxing fans are such a cynical bunch that we can't accept anything at face value, no matter how obvious it is. There's never an accident, never a mistake, never a miscalculation. Everything is ducking and dodging and conspiratorial and fixed. When you let these sort of baseless rumors spread beyond the confines of these boards, it does all of boxing a disservice because that's the sort of stuff the media picks up on and runs with in saying that boxing is corrupt. There may be corrupt things that happen, but sometimes judges really do see things differently than you, sometimes people really do trip and fall, sometimes people really don't mean to hit someone after the bell, and sometimes that one punch really can completely lay someone out, no matter how soft it "looked" to you. The bottom line is that Cintron had a quarter of a second at most to make an awful lot of decisions, and it's far more likely that he simply tripped over a giraffe-like Williams than it is that he make some kind of calculation about his likelihood to lose, his score on the cards, his purse money, his desired direction and trajectory, and the impact on his career and decided to simply throw himself out of the ring, making sure to brush against Williams' legs and bang his head against the edge of the ring. I'm sure Cintron is a smart guy - but that's quite a bit of cunning in a short period of time. Too much so for it to be anything other than what it was - a hard luck mistake that cost him a fight that he had a VERY real chance of winning. However little you think of Cintron because of past mental lapses, nobody throws a fight they believe they're winning. Nobody.
he lept. did he want to get hit his head and land badly no. his lack of effort in getting up is what people are more pissed off about. i think he wanted more time and take a mild intermission. look how both legs flick up, if your falling towards a cliff your main plan is to ground youself.
