Wacko's Drunken RBR Gatti v Gomez, Margarito v Williams, Cintron v Matthysse

Alright my people's...here we go again!

HBO's got one hell of a tripleheader planned for us in the welterweight division this weekend! The matches consist of Kermit Cintron vs Walter Matthysse, Arturo Gatti vs Alfonso Gomez, & Antonio Margarito vs Paul Williams.

Ofcourse out of all of these fights to be seen Saturday, July 14th...Williams vs Margarito is the high light for me. Starting at 9:00 p.m. at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ & Home Depot's Center in Carson, CA...Wacko's Drunken Round by Round & HBO will be couchside/ringside for all three matches of this live tripleheader!!!

If I aint mistaken...we start off in Atlantic City & then end up in Los Angeles. Hell of a way to jet set & it should be one fine card for purists & casuals alike.

The starting bout is a battle of welterweight contenders & future hopefuls as they slug it out for bragging rights over 147lbs. Kermit Cintron (27-1, 25 ko's) faces off against Walter Matthysse (26-1, 25 ko's) in a scheduled 12 round welterweight title bout. Cintron's shooting to unify the welterweight division but he's got to get past the very skilled & dangerous Matthysse...this will prove no easy task as both fighters are known for their hellacious knockout power. Should be a scorcher.

Next up on the card? Oh brother. Once again...after two consecutive losses (one to Baldo the other to Floyd), in his 21st appearance on HBO, here comes Arturo Gatti (40-8, 31 ko's) the fighter known as the blood & guts warrior or "the Human highlight reel from Jersey City"! Gatti will be fighting for redemption as he takes on Alfonso Gomez (16-3-2, 7 ko's) in a scheduled 10 rounder of the welterweight division.

Now I know that Gatti's a fan favorite & great for the sport...but really...does anyone really want to see Gatti get beaten again? I mean, is it a sure thing that he'll win Saturday night? I'd have to say that's a big "NO" to both questions...but once again...even though a loss is a possibility...we'll be watching.

The last battle on the card flips from the east coast to a live feed on the west coast of Antonio Margarito (34-4, 24 ko's) finally giving the fans what they want & stepping up to the undefeated Paul Williams (32-0, 24 ko's) in a highly anticipated 12 round 147 pound title fight.

I can't say enough about this fight other than...somebody's gettin spanked & knocked the fwock out!

There's no poll for this DRBR due to all the matches...so just post your picks. Here's mine

Gatti by TKO
Cintron by SD
Margarito by TKO

So cross your fingers dear friends & break out the chips & salsa...pour up the liquor & crack some tops on the brew...it's fight night!

Cheers...& koneecheewah bitches.

CC wacko.

i hope Gatti puts on a good performance and i think he will to be honest, Gomzez aint the best of fighters!

I think if Margarito uses his experience and weathers the storm he can surely stop williams but he will have to be on top form for it.

no idea on the cintron one because i havent seen him before.

What a weekend this is going to be man...

Can't wait reallly... 8)

Once more into the (alcohol-filled) breach dear Wacko...this is an absolute doozy of a boxing Saturday night. I'll probably be tired from all the British boxing beforehand, but I'll be sticking around to watch this one. How can they push all this live boxing on TV into one weekend, I'm going to have to Sky+ the Duddy fight cause that's in the middle of everything somewhere as well.

CC bro. And make sure you protect those fingers this week....we don't need any unnecessary injuries there now.

huge weekend for boxing cannot wait is some one doing the rbr for the Duddy fight?

CC, Wacko

This weekend is gonna be awesome!!!

So it is kiss of death time, baby!!

:lightingzapA: :toff:

Gatti will win and Williams will beat Margarito :o ;D

CC wACK. Tony wins,as does Cintron and Gomez.

Jot me down for:

Mathysse TKO
Margarito UD
Gomez TKO

Hey guys, I'm going to attend the Margarito-Williams fight on sat. Do you guys know if there is any chance they'll show the Gatti-Gomez fight on a big screen or something?

It's going to be a great night of boxing.

Gatti is always fun to watch, though I begin to worry that he might sustain perminant damage if he keeps going on like this.

Cintron and Matthysse is guaranteed fireworks.

Margarito - Williams same as above but with higher stakes getting us one step closer to an undisputed champ at WW.

My picks are:

Gatti doing just enough to win his farewell fight by UD (Might be wishfull thinking here but...)
Cintron KO
Margarito UD

Gatti might be shot but can a former world title holder really become so shot that he can't even beat a journeyman? I just don't see it. Gatti has to be able to win this fight. I'm saying by ko since it doesn't seem that improbable.

Cintron TKO
Gatti TKO
Margarito UD

(Wacks, I believe Gatti actually beat that terrible Danish guy between the PBF and Baldo fights, so technically he's just coming off one loss--not two consecutive; that said, I definitely agree that he's shot and should not be in the ring; but I also picked him to win since Gomez is a C fighter at best, whereas Gatti is probably a B-).

You backing your boy on my book?
I got the Margarito and Cintron fights to bid on

For the record

I have:
Williams UD
Matthysse KO
Gomez UD

CC Wack, thanks for the DRBR's this is gonna be a toughie for ya, I imagine by the last fight you may need some help :P

Anyone else notice that Cintron's only loss is to Margarito and Matthysse's only loss is to Williams and THEY are fighing each other this weekend as well?

Thats some super cosmic cooweekadink twilight zone shiznit if you ask me ;D Seriously though here is the fugging final results and you heard it here 1ssssssssssssst

Citron TKO Win
Gatti TKO Win
Williams TKO Win

And :coolclick:#3035 Sir Wackalot for setting the table quite proper for this weekend of destruction

hey Wacko are you doing the Roy Jones fight as well, cant seem to find it anywhere on UK tv

I got the Don Julio ready. ;D Im picking Gomez stoppage...yeah I know I'm askin for sad clicks ....The Cintron Matthysse fight is a coin flip for me... but I'll pick Cintron just because he has had the better opposition. I've been awaiting this last fight since it was signed, Im picking William by UD with maybe a few knockdowns sprinkled in.
CC once again Wacko, I dont know how you type so much and its pretty on time too. Ill be watching first then commenting after the fights, I dont want to miss a single punch.

I LOVE THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION!!!!!!!!

(ahem).... That being said, my picks are:

Gatti by easy TKO
Margarito by TKO
Cintron by TKO

:coolclick: Miles. Ah mate I am so pleased you've gone for Gatti! I've got a sig bet with Punisher that Gomez will beat Gatti and to be honest since making it I've been a little jittery and uncertain. But now I see your backing 'Thunder' I can sit back and enjoy the fight knowing the result is assured and the next day Punisher will have to write that I'm his daddy :)

Oh and I'm stoked about you picking Williams too. Margarito by decision is what I went for in the prediction contest so I should score well this weekend. 8)

CC right back Mr Baggins of the Shire!

I always aim to please when I make my predictions! ;D

Margarito, TKO 11th round.

Soon after Tony's 15th birthday he fought in the ring. That experience and toughness goes a long way in those ropes.



This is the fight I want to see. I don't care about the Gatti fight. That's the first time I typed his name in months! I think HBO has to break up with him slowly. Cintron fight is interesting, considering Kermit's chin and I know nothing about Cintron's opponent other than his brassy record and KO rating.

It's perfectly possible we could have three wars on this card alone! I'm excited. :)

Tony wins in devastating fashion.

On the final press conference both guys predicted a 7th round KO. So I'm guessing the fight will end in the 7th. hehe

I see Gatti getitng stopped, i honestly think he is done i hope im wrong, but Gomez is a big Welterweight and has been fighting bigger men, look what Boldomir did to Gatti, i hope im wrong but Gomez tko 9.

The other two i agree with.

I am so so so so nervous!!!! Tony HAS to win! If he doesn't,he's finished!

He's too durable to be finished. Those first 4 rounds will be scary for me though.

Margarito will get another shot in a crossroads fight.

He just has to win though. If he wins, he gives us fans Cotto Margarito!!!!!!!

Great Sig, eh Gamo? Inspired by Antonio's 50's toughness and willingness to fight them all.

Yeah Gyro,CC man,I love the Sig,you make it yourself??Yeah,I love the old school thing Tony has about him! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ;D ;D ;D

cc back!
Tony has oldschool written all over him. Funny how few people, like you and me... I think even James Toney, can see that.

Yeah I made it. heh I just had to, this upcoming fight makes me realize how much I'm a fan of Tony.

He reminds me of Erik, just takes on everybody, even if they have the stature and style to give him fits.

I'll be waving a Mexican flag for this one too. I kind of like Margarito

I love Paul Williams.

He's young, powerful, flawed, exciting, & good for boxing...but another time.

Margarito will be to savy for him.

Alright... this is my last post today.......... enjoy the fight El Gamo, root for our boy Antonio Margarito! :)




Tony, 11th round TKO

Have a good day Gyro brother. I'll be rooting allllllll the way. Hopefully we can celebrate tomorrow! :D :D

This could go horribly wrong,Margarito better not fricking lose! I want to see a Cotto fight too! >:mad >:mad :D
