I know...it was Juggernaut esque. Every time Cintron landed something big you could almost hear Margarito saying in spanish, "Silly ***** when you weapons cannot harm me don't you know who I am?"
After the onslaught that Dawson landed on Johnson....Johnson does have a grade A chin. I know Dawson isnt' the hardest puncher in the world but Johnson didnt' blink after those flush shots. Kick me in the nuts if I'm wrong but the higher the weight class, realistically, who stands up to the better punches has the better chin. Agreed? I guess you can make an arguement on the PVP chin and if that's the case, sure Marg may have the better chin but I'll still stand by McCall owning everyone. Getting hit by Lewis flush and not staggering is DAMN good.
My friend and myself were just looking at each other speechless in disbelief as we watched, MARGARITO IS A MACHINE. He walked through Cintron's (93% KO rate, 27 in 28 fights KO power) punches without even flinching. I've NEVER seen a better chin, please educate me peoples.......
Margo's going to need that chin against Cotto. Maybe not "one shot" power, but just damaging as all hell. As for the best... A-N-D-R-A-D-E.
I loved it when margo was waving his arms in the air for him to get up. I would not have been surprised if he went over & helped him to his feet & then started wailing on him again. He is slow as **** but a hell of a warrior!
He has a good chin, but Cintron never got comfortable enough to plant and throw from his ideal range. That's his problem (or one of the most glaring of many, I should say) - he's a very conditional puncher; the climate has to be just right or he's completely ineffective. And when he's ineffective he gets hit. And when he gets his he crumbles mentally. Cintron did land some hard shots (mostly short-range, which isn't his specialty, and a few half-hearted pawing efforts just outside his optimum distance, where Antonio's reach advantage was killing him), but he never wound up and landed a full-extension bomb. Maybe AM could take one from him, I don't know. But we didn't see it.
