I think its time we gave Cintron a proper nickname
Kermit 'The Frog' Cintron ('The Frog' on account of his jumping ability)
I hope Smith comes to fight, hell I hope they both come to fight FNF has been great so far.
I like the Frog, sounds good. Yea FNF has been really good this year, hope it continues tomorrow night.Quote:

At St. Charles, Mo. (ESPN2): Antwone Smith vs. Kermit Cintron, 10 rounds, junior middleweights; Dannie Williams vs. Antonio Cervantes, 10 rounds, lightweights; Dean Mcbaine vs. Keandre Gibson, 4 rounds, welterweights.
FNF has been fantastic this year. I am the only one who actually is somewhat a fan of the Frog, but this is a make it or break it fight for him.Quote:

Kermit looked like shit against Carlos Molina in his last fight, he'd better not look bad again against Antwone Smith tonight or his career is all but finished, who the fuck is going to want to watch anymore of his fights.Quote:

Im also another one of the few who's on the tiny bandwagon of Cintron but I have one foot out that mofucker ever since he let me down again with Molina.. With a guy like him, you just never know and it's hard to back him against any kind of pressure fighter..
Who knows..On paper, he should beat Smith but based on his history, it's just not logical to pick him at this point. He's been exposed long ago for his lack of mental toughness and it showed again in the Molina fight... This really is his last shot so maybe he'll get his shit together and come through but because of his poor credit history, im picking Smith to outfight him to a decision.
h seeme so disinterested against Molina I thought he was all done with the sport. He just didn't like doing it anymore.
But then he comes back a month later? Seems to belie the above.
I've long preferred "Cryin" Kermit Cintron as a nickname. He was always complaining about something.
This is a gimme for Cintron. Kermit by swift KO.
I have absolutely no faith in him against anyone decent though. He has all the tools to be great, but like Killer said he has the Judah brain.
Granted I only see him fight and I don't think I can even recall any interviews he's done etc, but when he is in the ring and on form, he can really bang seven bells out of people, and I really think he should get the KO sharpish tonight. If he doesn't though, as others have said, it'd be a hard road back to the big time.
Hoping for a Serena Williams shutout so we can get the show in on time. Not looking promising though.
ewwwwQuote:

Not really sure what a quick explosive televised ko does for him. Fact I think it may just create his house of cards all over again.
Here's a wordle of the first page of this thread the bigger the word, the more commonly used.

Serena needs a longer skirt.
okay so the fights are on ESPN3 until the tennis match is over.
Flippin American TV...just tell me Cintron wins by KO and my boxing predictions are well on their way!Quote:

B-Hop calling the fights with Tessitore, better than Mora I reckon.
Williams leaning in too much.
Absolutely rightQuote:

OK, THAT is gonna leave a mark!
williams has seom speed and pop.
He needs to use the jab. Come on Jack Loew, this is your fighter, do your job and tell him to double the fucking jab (it would make sense for this guy to use a fast jab!!!).
Uppercut on inside was there.
Impressed with the kid.
Good evening gentlemen.
Ahhh, we have Kermit "The Cry Baby" Cintron to make fun of tonight. I wonder if he'll give us his Greg Louganis impersonation. ;D
Sorry Mars, I know you like him. ;)
Me too.Quote:

I don't think Steward can really get much more out of DAwson than Dawson has shown in the past.Quote:

Do I think Dawson can't win the fight? No, I don't think that he can't win. He has good physical skills that could really give BHOP trouble. If BHOP can dictate the pace and the distance of the fight then he will win the fight because of his greater desire and passion.
Plus, at what point does BHOP get very old overnight???
I pick BHOP but it should be an intriguing affair.
I'm beginning to wonder if BHOP already has grown old and has just learned to fight in a way that hides it. That's impossible, right?Quote:

Hey Diane, I'm not really a big fan of Cintron, it's more of a joke than anything, you never know what you're going to get with this dude. ;)Quote:

Smith can box sorta .. Cintron will loose
Yup. That left hook just doesn't miss.Quote:

Hughes looks done, they'll prolly stop this one soon.
he has grown old and hides it amazingly well. But his mind is still young and he uses all the tools of the trade. Hitting on the hip, low blows, spinning a guy, headbutts, head games. He uses all of that and he has such good sneaky straight rights. He leads with that sneaky right hands and guys just don't expect it.Quote:

Gibson is going to get KO'd violently by a right hand in a minute.
