"Canelo" Alvarez vs. Kermit Cintron - chat/fight thread tonight on HBO

[Master]

Kermit is way taller than Alvares from that picture, Canelo must be very short.

[Mar]

If cintron stays sane he'll win, but he won't

[Diane]

I cannot stand Kermit "Cry Baby Greg Louganis" Cintron, but in a way, I wouldn't mind seeing him beat Alvarez. I'm not quite sold on him yet, and I hear he's a big egomaniac. And it would serve him right to lose after beating up a little guy in Solis.

I read somewhere that Mosley was helping Cintron get ready for the fight.

It wouldn't break my heart to see Canelo lose, but when was the last time Kermit looked good in a championship fight? I figure Cintron will be somewhat competitive for few rounds before Alvarez takes the wind out his sails with some body shots, and then he goes into survival mode. The only question will be if Cintron can go the distance.

Alvarez is listed by BoxRec at 5' 9" and Cintron at 5' 11", only 2" taller, so maybe it's just the picture Master.

Im still waiting to see Alvarez be pushed in a fight. I think if he gets pushed he will push back hard. Seen a few crazy moments from him when he has been hit before. He does not have the best defence but will he fight hard when he needs to or wither away. I think a cornered Alvarez is a dangerous Alvarez.

I think I'd still rather see him fight Shawn Porter.

I thought the same thing when I saw that!

[Master]

Cintron was very poor and really did not make much of an effort wither Canelo is better than I thought or Kermit has always been a poor fighter but managed well.
