Kermit Cintron vs Jesse Feliciano 8.9.2007.........WTF????

The guy is talking about showing the real Cintron . . . then take a stay busy fight? :roll: **** that.

He should have asked for a Margarito rematch or if he wants a "stay busy fight" at least fight somebody within the lower part of the top ten list. Somebody respectable. Miguel Rodriguez, Frederick Klose, Roberto Garcia or even Carlos Quintana.

It work both ways, if it so happens that Feliciano shows up good and give him a tough fight or even beat him, Cintron is back in the garbage. Got what I'm saying? He doesn't have to fight Sept after fightingf last July, it could be Oct or Nov for as long as it is a quality opponent.

 

Argh. A 15-5-3 record doesn't just disqualify someone from being a quality fighter. Feliciano is a young guy who was put in with very tough opposition(Hopkins, Gomez three times, Diaz, Arnaoutis, etc.) from a very early age and at a premature stage of his career. There are plenty of fighters over 24 years old with more than 23 fights who have never fought anyone remotely resembling a name opponent- Feliciano's been going up against one after another after another. When two fighters are actually standing in the ring and swapping punches, paper statistics are the last thing that matters.
That said, Feliciano is clearly a limited fighter, looks to be no more than a gatekeeper-type, and should be soundly beaten, probably by being steadily outboxed and broken down for a mid-late knockout, if Cintron doesn't take him lightly.
