14/2 - Sergio "Maravilla" MARTINEZ vs. Kermit "The Killer" CINTRON

Cintron got tribal tatoos too huh?

Both these guys have flaws in thier style, should be a good fight, off pure speculation I think Martinez's chin can take Cintron's power, but should be a good scrap that I'm on the fence about.

 

wish setanta picks this up!"!

 

His boxing ability is also underrated though.

 

whenever i see cintron he looks like hes about to have some sort of mental breakdown even in the ring hes easily succumbs to pressure

 

I like Martinez very good fight he be yes.

 

good trade fight this.

like a lot of u i'm split on it.

although i tipped martinez on pts when i did my predictions.

cintron's punch and the fact martinez chin and ability to really tough it out isn't completely proved given his lack of top drawer opposition (no fault of his own).

martinez skills and awkwardness will offset cintron for me though and win a decision. around 116-112 on the cards. :bbb

 

well this was controversial.

that knockdown incident was terrible. atsch

feel sorry for martinez.

a fighter who has had absolutely no breaks in boxing.

then gets screwed over. :-(

knockdown happens around 3:10.

 

He was counted out then!

 

What happened to that "In the act of rising" thing they used to stop fighters on?

 

looks to me like martinez elbow might have caught cintron in the follow through from the punch, perhaps that's what made it feel like it was something other than martinez' glove.

surely martinez can complain given that the ref clearly counted to 10?

 

HBO showed another angle and there was no elbow, just a chopping punch.

 

6:10 is the face that will remind me of this fight. a confuzed but proffesional martinez shaking his head to a cintron who is looking for a break.

 

max kellerman needs to go

 

****ing hell!! Just watched the fight, how the hell can you justify a draw?

I had it 117-109 for Martinez, he outclassed Cintron who did **** all during the fight.

Martinez should have won by stoppage at the end of the 7th. If not then atleast a clear points decision. ***** ****ing judges and ref. ***gots.
