People here won't like to admit it but there is a fairly good chance that Cotto gets knocked out against Cintron. You would make Cotto the favourite, clearly.
I'd like to see it, but Kermit should get a couple of easier fights under his belt to get his confidence back up first. Same with Cotto. Maybe put them on the same card as co-features in separate bouts and then match them up.
Great fight in Puerto Rico. Dangerous for both guys, especially Cotto. If he lost to Cintron, that would be that.
Cotto will KO him, Cintron doesn't have the body to take some good body shots of Miguel nor has the boxing abilities. Cotto KO's Cintron with a nasty body shot.
Yes this makes perfect sense for both guys around January time. It would be my fight of choice if I was picking a come back bout for Cotto.
Cintron has only ever lost to Margarito, and Clottey has only ever lost legimitimately to Margarito also. The man was underrated, and every fighter he beats is overlooked from that moment on. Cintron would not be an easy fight for Cotto.
I like the fight but I'm not sure I would call it a crossroads fight, I would like to think that Cotto is still very high on most people's list even after the loss. However, I think of it more as a bounce back fight, but a very dangerous one, yes.
For the pride of Puerto Rico on the line: 2 former welterweight champions square off. Cotto Cintron on HBO PPV.
