My exact thoughts-- this may work out pretty well for Cintron. Martinez is slick, but hasn't exactly been a world beater and ihas been in a much weaker division. Cintron has his critics and his record is at least comparable, but losing to Margarito doesn't mean his career path is on a downward slide as many assume-- as long as he keeps developing his skills and improving and fights strategically. He's relatively young (especially in terms of boxing years, having picked up the sport only in college), and his awesome power should be there at 154. His much commented upon "fragile psyche" is largely overstated: perhaps true after MArgo I, but the Margo II war should have dispelled many of those doubts, and he handled his loss well (and more importantly acknowledged his mistaken "just bang" strategy). I think Kerm wins this one.
