Not bad.Like Martinez in that one but what happened to Cintron??

What an awesome night of boxing and a very good good match up I was not feeling the rumored Mosley vs Clottey anyways.

shit Martinez should have 2 wins over Cintron already, speaks volumes about Martinez and Clottey by the mere fact that they're willing to take each other on, should be a good fight, but i'm picking Martinez by UD

Nice fight. I think, depending on how Clottey handles the move up in weight, that this fight could resemble the Cotto fight with Martinez outworking and outscoring Clottey while Clottey lands the cleaner shots.

The problem with Clottey is that he always seems to lose closely enough that no one wants to fight him. If he'd won his big fights he would be a draw and a target obviously, but because he loses in very close fashion no one wants to fight him.

Here's an update, not close to happening yet.

If this comes off, it would be a great fight, so I hope that they work things out, because this would be a great double header card to see.

he already fights at about 160 when it comes to fight night, don't think the weight would really be a big problem

I don't care if Martinez ever wins a fight again, outside of Judah's shadow monk dance that kosta gave him, that punch that he gave cintron made me laugh harder than anything i've seen in a long time........he hit that mutha f'er so hard cintron thought it was a headbut. Man I'd like to see both guys win. Martinez for getting ripped in that cintron fight and clottey for puttin in work all this time for really nothing to show for it.

I still laugh at that before the next round started Cintron was staring down Martinez tapping his head, while Martinez shook his head "no" and shook his hand in the air.
