Kermit Cintron. Can't understand this guy. Came into the fight throwing half-hearted punches at Alvarez. Then.... when the fight was already decided and Kermit had been hurt a few times.... he seems to get pissed off and throws some awesome BOMBS at Alvarez. Had he done that from the very beginning, it could've been a lot different fight altogether. I think it was Roy Jones Jr. that nailed it right on the head when he said that Kermit wasn't going to stand much of a chance until he started "throwing punches like he means it".

First time I saw Kermit fight, it was against Walter Mattheyse (sp?) of Argentina. The guy was undefeated with like 26 KO's in 28 fights. The first round was actually good. Then Kermit destroys the guy with one of the scariest KO combinations I've EVER seen. A left uppercut that shut the circuit breaker off on Walter, and before the poor guy could actually start falling down..... a right hand cannon shot that knocked the poor guy even more senseless. From that point on, I always thought the sky was the limit for Cintron.

But posters in here are absolutely correct. Kermit's biggest problem has always been between the ears. Who knows.... the ex-wrestler-turned-boxer-at-19-years-of-age just doesn't seem to have the fighter's mindset needed for boxing. Which is too bad, because in terms of the total package (size, athleticism, power, etc), he could've been something great. But it just wasn't meant to be.

Retire, Kermit.
