If he had ducked AM for a fight with a b-level guy then I would not have respected that but even though PW outpointed AM - lets keep one thing clear. . . AM dished out more punishment on the "Punisher" and held a huge psychological edge over Cintron so the fact that he seeked the rematch gets tons of respect from me and most fans.

How would you have not respected him fighting Paul Williams?

Better yet....how do you respect him after he blatantly escaped a fight with Paul Williams?

I give Cintron tons of credit for fighting a guy he lost and defending his title....but the Williams thing still smells bad to me.

My bad I meant to say . . If he had ducked PW for a b level fighter . . .

But he sidestepped PW for a guy with a serious psych advantage so I can look past the PW thing.

I wouldnt be suprised to see him face PW or Quintana down the line though.

i was a cintron hater but after i saw that video about him shown before the fight, the one about his mother and father dying, it really touched me, then he goes and gets his ass kicked, he stood toe to toe with margarito for 6 rounds until he got knocked out by a good body shot, i really feel for the guy.

Same here.

The guy has talent and great power. If he feels even a little drained I would say move up and enjoy a decent career. His KO % at WW is 3rd highest all-time maybe he relys a bit too much on that though.

Cintron deserves plenty of props. Even with the loss, it doesn't change that it took serious balls to get in there and push for a rematch considering how the first one went. He may have lost the fight, but he should at least feel good that he went out on his shield and didn't leave anything out there by crumbling mentally like the first time. Hopefully he can bounce back at 154, I think he'd be healthier there anyways. The lack of talent there also means he has a better chance of grabbing another title.

I havent seen anyone give props here to Kermit Cintron.

The dude didnt have to seek a rematch with Margarito but he wanted a chance to get some get back. We all know it didnt work out too well for him but at least he perfomed a little better and didnt break himself down. The kid showed heart and courage and simply lost to the better fighter.

I dont wanna be like other poor fans and say he was overated or overhyped etc etc. I prefer to give him credit for stepping up instead of finding excuses like others have done.

So props to Cintron, I hope he gets his career back on track cause he's still a very good boxer and is fun to watch.
