Margarito is known as a non stop puncher. He's always throwing so Cintron put himself in a position of getting hit. Not saying that Larry Merchant is the best boxing analyst but he even recognized that it was Cintron's own fault for getting hit in the back of his head by bending down instead of using his guard or moving away. :roll:
no its simply a form of defense.. it doesnt mean you can hit your opponent on top or on the back of the head just because you cant control yourself and you want to throw nonstop.. now does it?
Moron, turning your back and/or bending beneath your opponent's waistline is considered ILLEGAL in boxing. You never have the right to give your opponent your back. If you get hit in the back of your head doing that it's your own ass.
Over rated??? Nopes . . . that was expected. In fact a lot posted that they are expecting the same results from the first fight 2 weeks before the rematch.
I think he was more around the waistline not below it if he ever did go below it would only be from Margo hitting him on the back of the head first with his right hands.. Margo couldnt control himself.. and he knows that from distance Cintron was outboxing him :thumbsup
The first win was actually overrated because not many expected Margarito to win and when he did everyone was in shock, also it was Margarito's only big win before beating Cotto so every time Margarito would be mentioned that win comes along with him. The win in the 2nd fight is rated fine.
It was actually decision Margarito as far as I remember but yeah, that's exactly why that win is rated fine.
