Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing announced today that the IBF welterweight title fight between champion Kermit Cintron (28-1, 26 KOs) and Jesse Feliciano (14-5-3, 8 KOs) is back on and will be on the undercard of the rescheduled Fernando Vargas-Ricardo Mayorga fight November 23,

Should be a slugfest.
Wow, I know Jesse is a tough action fighter who wouldn't be a push over, but even with Jesse's impressive KO of Delvin Rodriguez, I thought Cintron would be on to bigger names.
BoxRec has the Clottey fight mentioned in that article as Cintron's next fight...
Is this really a fight that needed to be remade?
Feliciano was getting pounded by Rodriguez, a sharp puncher before he made one minor adjustment of pickng his head up that Rodriguez couldn't cope with.
I really doubt this gets out of the first round. The talent gap is huge here and unlike Rodriguez, Cintron has power that Feliciano can't walk through. And a lot of it.
Yeah, Feliciano is a tough guy, but walking through punches vs. walking through a sledgehammer are 2 different things. He will get abused badly; though I would love to see him k.o. Cintron as I can't stand that guy.Quote:

Yeah, I thought it was I guess defensible as just a stay busy fight but not sure I see the point of rescheduling. Gotta be better fights out there for Cintron.Quote:

Great question. Looks like he's just trying to stay busy/sharp until he can fights guys like Margarito, P. Williams or Judah, etc.Quote:

Now BoxRec has both fights listed! Feliciano on 11/23 and Clottey on 12/01. I guess Cintron is considering this a sparring session! ;D
That would be realistic, honestly... Just a shame that he won't fight Clottey soon I guess.Quote:

Of course, Feliciano should be hoping Cintron is thinking like that. How many times has a better fighter gotten caught while looking ahead? I guess it does happen more with guys on the way up, looking for their first big shot, still...Quote:
