Antonio Margarito 34 -5 (24) Vs. Kermit Cintron 29-1 (27)

For Cintrons IBF Welterweight title.Short and sweet here as I should attempt some 'non biased' Assessment.Its tough.A great Rematch to an April 05' match up that saw the then WBO welter champion Margarito making his 5th defense.Margarito overwhelmed the Undefeated power puncher Cintron over 5 rounds and ended matters decisively.Cintron has re-tooled and honed his skills..cough,Added some experienceto his corner and is looking for redemption.

I dont claim to be a body Beautiful when it comes to RBR's,everyone has a certain style and as the coronas go...so goes the keyboard .Important thing is to have a blow by blow for all to contribute and get information to members who are not able to see the fights for themselves.

Good fight right about now

That's fine Spicoli', you do it. My girl really doesn't feel like it anyways.

Good stuff Spicoli.


I changed the title of thread to add the Rd. by Rd. tag to it so people will know. I also made this a sticky thread.

Cintron looks pumped.Margarito Focused. This/My stuff is running slow so bear with.Moment of silence given for the original "golden Boy Art Aragom

Ref Is Earl Brown....Margarito being somewhat whispered booed at intro

round 1

ring center good stare down.ding ding.high guard cintron-jab to tony face-working jab so far cintron-wiiide right by tony miss-tony backs him up trade upper cut-good shot from Cintron-tony long right lands,cintron ties up-clinched at ring center-tony leads ugly with upper-big right by cintron land,good one-tony coming forward throwing alot more- I gave round to tony but cintron looks calm and collected

What a fucking awesome first round. Cintron outboxed him for most of that round and Margo took some hard shots. His face looks a little red already! Great left caught Tony flush on the chin and he took it. Margo ends the round well but not enough to win it.

10-9 Kermit.

WOW WHAT A FIGHT

round 2

letterman gave 1 to cintron-jabbing fron cintron to open-cintron timing better and putting 1-2 together-pawing from tony,upper miss from cintron-tony backs him to ropesbig upper lands from tony-cintron looks a litle ...confused-good body dig from tony-tony is working all out-solid body exchange by both-laying on the inside-tony is assaulting that body big time round tony.....ref in corner warns tony about low blow-warns cintron about his head

Tony came back in that round. He moved in close and hit Cintron with some hard shots. The body shots are working, and that right upper cut just couldn't miss.

Round to Tony. 19-19 for me.

Tony has an injury over his left eye apparently.

Lol, Cintron already looking dazed and confused. He better keep that range or it will be over in 3 or 4. Got that quitter look about him. Tony respects that right hand of Cintron though, to be sure.
