Watch it again, was never called off. Told him rounds over, motioned to the corner. Martinez started celebrating, which caused all the commotion.
That was some bull**** ... I think that Cintron was KO'd in the 7th round and shouldn't have been able to continue. He wasn't effective ... he was losing a majority of the rounds and was really busted up. This guy sucks ... I wish someone would right that wrong because that draw is better for Cintron than it does for Martinez.
I also thought Cintron lost the fight, actually he lost one of 2 ways, KO 7 or by decision. Regardless, I think we have seen the last of "Kermit the Fraud" on HBO. He might possibly show up on Showtime, where Al Bernstein can blabber about his loses to Margarito. Props to Sergio Martinez though, hopefully he can get a few big money fights.
I don't understand why you think its a TKO, Cintron beat the count, and the ref didn't stop the fight. So its not a knockout
