ESPN2/3 FNF: Kermit Cintron vs. Antwone Smith RBR

People don't understand how boxing is scored, that's why they don't understand that 98-92 isn't actually a bad score for this fight. Well, it's not a great score.. but it's actually defendable.

You can have a shutout in a close fight, or you can have it be a draw. There were very few rounds you could call absolute for one guy. It was fight at close range, with very few clinches.. nobody was hurt.. and both answered each other just about punch for punch.

Not a great fight, but enjoyable to watch.

I think a lot of people on ESB just hate Cintron, and were openingly rooting against him.

It is clear though, that Cintron's days of being able to compete at the Elite level is gone.

 

I can't believe we had the same card IB, how odd is that.

 

1. 10-9 KC
2. 10-9 KC
3. 10-10 ( Close )
4. 10-9 AS
5. 10-9 KC ( Close )
6. 10-9 KC ( Close )
7. 10-9 KC
8. 10-9 KC
9. 10-9 AS
10. 10-9 KC ( Close )

Some were close. KC= Kermit Cintron Not KFC. AS= Smith

 

That was the clearest round for Smith. Just like the 8th was the clearest for Cintron.

 

I didn't watch the fight but I feel smith won.

 

Smith won at least four of those rounds. I thought he took the last two cleanly. I'm surprised the ESPN announcers gave Kermit the 9th.

 

Interesting. I did watch it and I had Carlos Baldomir beating both guys in a close decision.

 

I thought he did the better work in the 9th.

 

Cintron is Garbo!

 

Yep, let's bring out the ESB card. Nevermind the fact that, Queensbury, BLH and Scene, and I'm sure others, most thought A that it was a bad fight and that Smith won. Close, but clear. A handful thought Cintron nicked it by 96-94, that's acceptable, but anything more than that and it's pretty clear people are sucking Kermit The Frog's dick. Even Ronnie Shields admitted in the 10th round Cintron had to do work, and postfight he said "It was close...I'll take it"

If a trainer is saying that, the other guy won. Smith did win, close, but clear, but this is nothing new. The winning fighter loses.

 

Hopkins had it for Cintron, many posters here had it for Cintron, all the judges had it for Cintron and not one media outlet has called it a robbery.

ESB is the most robbery happy site I've ever seen. Not every decision you disagree with is a robbery.

Just saw onboxing scenethat Cintron intends to move back to 154 pounds and supposedly had a hard time making weight for Smith.

 

i thought keandre gibson was the star of this fnf. don't really know why

 

I have a fight on my Fox Sports right now. Just got home from work so I can't tell yet what/who it is.

Says USTREAM and Goldenboy on the screen timeclock.

Cant tell if it's live.
