Cintron lost his last fight and didn't deserve that draw but he earned his win tonight.

He took on a guy who fought him and pressured him like Margarito, not as effectively, but still, and he beat him.

Good for Kermit. He's a nice guy and an orphan since the age of 15.

And he finally had a career defining win tonight.

Agreed this was a very good win for him, even if Angulo could of used a couple of tune ups for this. As much as I like Cintron, I honestly think he'll get exposed again by someone with better pressure. I say feed him some more tomato cans, his knockouts are fun to watch.

lol the orphan thing was kinda from left field

Well the reason I mentioned that, is because Cintron has had a tough life and is a nice guy and that is why I was happy to see him finally get some redemption and a good win.

I was happy to see that he has been working on not bending over and turning away from his opponent so much when pressed like he did against Margarito. He still did it sometimes, but not as much as before. He lost to AM twice but who knows if AM's handwraps were illegal. He might be undefeated if not for that, even though he did lose to Martinez but got a draw. Margarito probably beats him either way though.

I agree. Cintron may have been horribly wronged in his fights with Margarito. He went into them a highly marketable undefeaded fighter and came out with his confidence destroyed, only to find out three years latter that Margarito may have (and I believe certainly did) had his gloves loaded with plaster.

Lance, you know that Kermit was never meant to be a champion. He doesn't have the heart. To question the use of plaster is pretty speculative, and the bottom line was that Tony was the better man. Tony will always be a warrior and Kermit is not. Kermit had the best opportunities and trainers and just came up short.
