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

round 1 Cotto vs. Gomez

gomez looks so much bigger right off-cotto statring slick-backing up and sliding off back-gomez hopping round and jabbing-cotto looks like he is toying with a mouse-gomez leading as cotto dips down with slight counters-hard two shots from cotto eith right and gomez sticks him in face-cotto shook gomez at bell to body.This should get ugly very suddenly

[Kev]

It's looks like Gomez hurt his pancreas in that round

[LEGION]

It's looks like Gomez hurt his pancreas in that round

Actually I think Cotto did it for him.

[Spicoli]

round 3 Gomez is wishing these were those 5 rounders-cotto is busting him inside off ropes-lamp's calls cotto arrogance is flowing-Hard left from cotto-left on belt from gomez-airing goes blake.......somethings happening-ok were back-ohhh bodyshot cripples gomez at bell,right -ref in corner ask's if gomez wants to fight..."hell yeah" ??

[LEGION]

Damn, Cintron better be glad he won't be fighting Cotto. He would have already quit with the punishment he's dishing out to Gomez. Gomez got heart; I'll give him that.

[LEGION]

I can't wait for Cotto/Margarito. Might be the most personally anticipated match I have ever wanted to see. Also Cotto/Mayweather.
