Thread: Cintron-Clottey

I only just saw this on boxrec, must have missed when it was announced!
I think this could be a great fight, not sure who Ill be picking to win this one...

I voted Clottey on points. I think his defense and counter punching will frustrate Cintron and keep him from landing most of his shots.

Cintron is his mandatory. Does it have a date, because I didn't think it had gone to purse bid yet?

I think Kermit might pull this off. Clottey is good but doesn't do anything really outstanding and I think Kermit might just have the fight of his life as its all or nothing for him.

It has it down for Madison Square Garden on 21 of Feb, hopefully its not just boxrec jumping the gun...

That would be the undercard to Cotto vs. Jennings. Sounds premature to me.

Clottey by decision.....Depends if Clottey shows up to fight; sometimes he shows up looking bewildered and if he sits around too much he isn't rugged enough to take bombs from Cintron all night...his constant pressure and rugged chin should pull him a victory though if he keeps constant pressure on Currmit.....Would definately enjoy this fight{as long as Clottey wins}

Clottey will win due to his exceptional attributes specified in the diagram below!

Clottey will do a similer job to Margarito, i seriously dont give Cintron a chance. Clottey will take his power and steamroll him inside 10.

Clottey will come in dancin around about 260 pounds as usual after somehow making weight, absorb and block cintrons bombs and win a decision.

I cant say i am a fan of clottey but i respect him as one of these guys i would never want to fight..

To watch him fight against someone who you want to beat him is horrible..
Because its just so frustrating to see how good his defense is!..

its just like when i heart breakingly watched tito fight winky and there was just nothing getting through..

and i wanted judah to beat clottey too but theres just not enough getting through that gaurd.. its very tight..

frankly the only way to beat him that i can see is fight a very negative and defensive counter punching fight to open him up and catch him.. that and pressure him late once he tires and gets into a judgable rythym..
its a real floyd counter punch pot shot job.. counterpunch the counterpuncher lol.

Damn bro i hate doing that...

Shuould call me the thread killer cause i suss the situation and a likely story how the fight will go and its just too perfect! Hahaa..

And im there wanting someone to agree or disagree with me but i killed off the thread

i actually came up with a better out line to beating clottey last night..

IF THAT IS POSSIBLE.. aha.. i kid , i'll stop bieng a jerk..

what someone who fights clottey need is this..

as far as p4p goes.. if you could get.. a welterweight Ivan calderon

then thats him beat over twelve rounds..

its hard to score against a guy whos not getting hit to the face.. just open on the kidneys and everything else touches the gaurd but i scored a couple rounds for judah on pressure and output.. just cause he made clottey miss, jabs and straits on the gloves, couple shots to the body on each side and right back out again..

now.. tying thisin with like i said.. counter punchthe counter puncher.. when hes not counter punching, hes barely punching at all.. especially if you have your own defensive prowess.. he just wont land..

so while hes not punching.. its boring, very negative.. but you'll take the rounds.. and when frustration and boredom kicks in.. he opens up..

and what you then need to give him is that ivan calderon sharp fast shots.. movement.. His frustration and opening up not only wears him out for later as well as your body shots and his history of fading down the stretch.. but he opens up more misses more and you only catch him cleaner.. keep ducking, slipping back out OLE! and reset..
over and over baby.. just 7 or 8 rounds out of 12 and the title is yours..

Clottey is annoyed and says that this is the second time Cintron has avoided him.

This is a great match up! I think the hard as rock Clottey breaks Cintron down & has him in survival mode at the end. Clottey by decision I think

Cintrons spotty frame of mind beats his natural physical gifts.I think Clottey will go heavy to the body,tight defense and he issues a late TKO to Cintron

Doesn't matter now, this fight isn't taking place, at least not now.

Cintron is moving up in weight, and will face Sergio Martinez on February 14th.
