Sergio Martinez finally has an opponent for February 14th - Kermit Cintron

[Kev]

Sergio Martinez sure is getting alot of hype for beating a mediocre fighter, no doubt Sergio Martinez is a good fighter. But he is getting a bit overhyped. And with his low hand style against Kermit Cintron he could be wiped out within 5 rounds. I do think Kermit Cintron's power is somewhat overrated, but i certainly feel enough to stop Sergio Martinez if he catches him that is.

Hey Ice buddy we finally agree on something!

I couldn't believe my ears when Martinez was fighting that Bunema guy.

HBO who up to that point had NEVER EVER even mentioned him in a broadcast before were talking about him like he was Floyd Mayweather. It was embarrassing, they were saying he shouldn't bother with fighting the likes of Vernon Forrest and should instead go straight for a money fight with the likes of Margarito, Mosely or Paul Williams. They were talking about him like they had been championing him for years and that he was a p4p star.

I wouldn't have minded but prior to that fight none of the HBO team had ever mentioned him at all.

Let's see him in with a decent opponent before we proclaim him an all time great is all I'm saying.

If he can bowl Cintron over impressively then we can start calling him a talent.

Until then he's just a guy who dominated a guy nobody had ever heard of and who scored an upset win over a weight drained former champ.

I think Martinez will TKO, Cintron.

I think Martinez will show a handful of you non-believers he's for real.
(Then again if he does beat Cintron, people will find a way to water that win down to a meaningless win )

Martinez has been polishing his skills I personally think the Santos fight would have been brilliant and a 60/50 chance favorite Santos to win it.
But the matchup would have been great. Fast hands, good power, southpaws, good skills, top shelf ring generalship.

I think Cintrons gonna be baffled by the speed of Martinez.
I see the TKO coming mid-way through the fight.

60/50 chance eh? If only you were a bookmaker's Mick, you could count on my business every week my friend
