I'm not on his side anymore. If I see him fight again, I want to see him get pummeled. Imo, he embarrassed himself tonight.
And he was mad because he got a DRAW. He should go home get on his kness and thank the lord above he got that DRAW and not the LOSS he deserved.
i do not want a rematch..both guys still suck..he are still head and shoulders below forrest and kirkland
I was through with Cintron a long time ago. Not going to bash the guy now because I have several times in the past, but speaking frankly, he's clearly nothing special and will likely never win another title again. It's just the reality of his situation.
Till tonight, the worst decision of the last decade was the draw between Holy and Lennox. Tonight, that decision was made to look like a paragon of excellent boxing judgment. The 'draw' tonight was the new standard in bad decisions. Martinez KOd Cintron by any measure of the term. (Forget mad Max's grasp of the rules. A knee or glove on the canvas at 'TEN' means you're out. However, no knee and no glove on the canvas DOES NOR MEAN YOU BEAT the count. Yo must be vertical by ten. And in any case, it's the ref's call.) Tonight, the ref called the fight over. For some reason, it got put back on the tracks after Martinez should have had his stoppage. That in itself was bad enough. Then the bogus point deduction. WTF??? And the final straw. One judge (the man who took so much abuse for his decision in the Floyd-Oscar fight) got it right. IF you agree with the point deduction (and the judges don't really have a choice) the correct score would have been 116-110. How two ****in' blind imbeciles had it 113-113 defies all reason. Martinez got ****ed TWICE in the same fight. Unlike earlier posters,i have no problem with Cintron. He was just outclassed by the best fighter currently at 154. My beef is with the ref (who shold have been a second semester abortion) and two judges (who shoulkd be judging figure-skating).
He's got a decent punch but no heart. Not been interested for a while, he's not a world level fighter. At one stage when he knocked out Mathyse (I think) he looked sensational and I thought he could be the next big thing from the Kronk gym. Just hasn't made the step up in class.
