Judging from the performance of Cintron last night, could he beat Margo in a rematch?

    Based on their performance yesterday, yes I believe so. The guy vastly improved under Manny Steward.

    I think Margo is still a worse matchup stylistically than Williams is, and smothering KC to try and break his confidence is the best tactic by far to try and beat him. What's working in Cintron's favor is that he's fast enough to land big shots on outside fighters and looks to have gotten stronger physically to try and combat the bullying tactic people will probably try to beat him with in the future.

    Of course, we won't know how he does against the top guys until he gets in there, but I'd like to think he won't fold under pressure again like he caved in the Margo fight. He's earned a chance to test himself against a top opponent next, so we'll find out sooner rather than later.

    Williams vs Cintron is a fight I'd absolutely kill to see get made. Though I've posted I'd pick Cintron to win, I could easily see Williams winning if Kermit's not there 110% mentally and physically. That would be a great fight for boxing.

    Cintron might be able to beat Margo, but when you lose to a particular fighter, they have a mental edge over you. RJJ could have beaten Tarver in the third fight I'm sure of, but he was so afraid of getting knocked out that he fought not to lose instead of fighting to win. In the 5th round, he beat Tarver up pretty well, but in order to sustain that, he would need to risk getting beaten again, and he didn't have it in him. Cintron might be the same way if he fights Margo again.
