Clottey v. Cintron

[CFH]

Here's an article on Clottey - Baldomir. It was a low-blow. Kind of a shitty article, but it's the only one I found in a quick search.

Brick City Boxing - January 2006

Clottey should win this one pretty clearly late TKO or wide UD.

Cintron has shown he's a bit like Judah in that when everything isn't going his way he just falls apart. I think Cintron has extremely good power and is legitamately one of the hardest p4p punchers in the sport today, but to utilize that power he has to be set and has to be at the right range. Margarito used small movement to keep Cintron from being able to set. Same thing N'Dou was able to do small movements just enough so Cintron couldn't plant his feet. I have to assume the case will be the same with Clottey.

I for one am a Cintron fan and I think Clottey is very overrated. I don't see anything fantastic about Clottey whatsoever.To me if he was this beast he would have gotten rid of Judah who was a former shell of himself alot quicker. He got by and did well against an out of shape Margarito. I have not see anything else that makes me say ooh and aah about Clottey . Cintron on the other hand has been knocked out by Maragarito and I don't know if he will ever be the same but one thing will remain he does have power. The questions to ask now is Can Clottey take a punch and can Cintron keep himself together for 12 rounds. I think this will be a tremendous fight if it happens.

I agree, Cintron to win, good math up of the B level fighters trying to get it on with the A class fighters like Cotto, Marg and Shane. Also ODH

This would be a good fight to watch. I'm with the majority though. I think Cintron doesn't handle getting punched back very well. Once he realizes Clottey isn't backing down, he'll feel like he's cornered and probably get knocked out.

I honestly think the Cintron that fought Margarito the second time beats most of the top welterweights, he is so much bigger than Cotto, and I don't think Cotto would have handled those punches from Kermit.

I am not sure how CLottey walking through his punches affects him late, but if Kermit knows he won't stop Clottey I think he can relatively easily outbox Clottey on the outside, I mean it was Margarito's work rate that really gave Cintron problems, and Clottey doens't have that work rate. People need to realize Clottey isn't a huge puncher, I mean he wasn't really hurting Judah, and I don't think judah would have quit against him. I was surprised he wasn't able to impose himself more on Judah, who kept fighting back, and Cintron kept throwing punches against Margarito, whereas Judah usually stops throwing punches. Cintron couldn't stop Lovemore N'dou and it got ugly, but he didn't give up.

This post makes sense to me.

I don't like Clottey's style.

Admittedly, I've seen some footage of Clottey, but not a ton.

Does Clottey attack? Is he a pressure fighter? Does he throw a lot of punches? If he isn't a pressure fighter (and he doesn't appear to be in the video below) then I don't see how he takes Cintron out of his rhythm.

Does anyone fight their style againt Margarito? I think a key factor is that Clottey was so effective against Margarito early, and stopped doing what made him successful after the fourth round I believe.
