You kidding ? Kermit Cintron was landing his best punches of the fight, he snapped Paul Williams head back. Paul Williams hasn't met anyone who can hit as hard as Kermit Cintron.

No way I see Cintron winning that 2nd round...Williams was taking and coming forward but forcing pace.Cintron can crack but he was not selling out for it and was not going to out range Williams,he rolled outta ring no harder than a Benn,Rahman,Barbosa,Hopkins etc..Just saying.This was not a Cintron whitewash and body language speaks volumes

Paul Williams did nothing in the first 3 rounds, and Kermit Cintron was constantly countering him. Paul Williams stepped it up in the last 20 seconds of the 3rd round, but he hit nothing except air.

In the 4th round he started out fast, and he got his head snapped back. By a hard right hand, and he was also clocked with some nice left hooks. Paul Williams would of got KTFO he wouldn't of been able to run, right through Kermit Cintron.

Sergio Martinez isn't a puncher, neither is Vernon Phillips, Winky Wright. Infact he's only met one puncher in his career Walter Dario Matthysse.

But he was mediocre and he didn't hit as hard as Kermit Cintron, im telling you now Paul Williams wouldn't of been able. To keep getting clocked trying to break down Kermit Cintron, there's a reason why he was so hesistant.

How in the world can you say Williams...who I am no fan of...would of gotten knocked the fuck out just 3,4 rounds in?Based on Cinton hitting him up to that point,punched means nattas if you dont stand ground behind them and have the chest to absorb in return.Martinez may not be a huge banger but he beat the same Cintron twice,ko'd him once...and still got screwed.Cintron was not launching that power and they both waited too much...but the body language was taking shape and Williams was forcing action...we will disagree here.Lets hope for a rematch asap.

The guy Margarito is fighting actually makes him looks fast. I didn't think that was possible.

I notice Antonio Margarito is holding his hands higher, or is that just me ? his defense seems tigther.

Considering his layoff and the result of his last fight, I think he looks decent. His handspeed is better than I remember it being. Maybe it's the level of opposition making him look improved though.

margarito's style looked different now under new trainer robert garcia.

I always thought Kermit Cintron had a decent chance, because he's a puncher and Paul Williams is very hittable.

Im telling you if he would of just tried to windmill Kermit Cintron, he would of got KO'ed. Kermit Cintron was releasing the power in round 4, and snapped back the head of Paul Williams.

As i said there was a reason Paul Williams was hesistant. And thats because he's never been in, with someone that powerful and that is fact.

. . . and anyone who thinks Cintron deserved a win after that pathetic display has no right to dismiss others knowledge of the sport.

It was a poor fight with a poor result. Get over it.

Almost everyone in the chat room, all well-respected members of this forum, felt Cintron won. So do many people in this thread. I don't think it was a "pathetic display" either, Cintron looked good.

As for getting over it, the result doesn't really bother me aside from the fact that I think it should have been a NC. It's ridiculous to go to the cards that early IMO.

I think a NC would have been a fairer result too. It wasnt a great fight so I cant see much call for a rematch.

Well, if nothing else we can agree on that point.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a rematch get made though, depending on what options are available to both fighters.

yeah mate he finds it alot easier to keep them up now the cement and horse shoes have been removed

I may get some bad rep for this but Cintron is a pussy! Theres no way that tumble did anything. Its funny how he was holding his shoulder but he couldn't even seem to walk. I actually thought he was winning but I'm so glad they gave it to williams based on that crap. Cintron will probly be wrestling with his three little kids later tonight, theres no way that guys hurt! And what makes it even funnier is the guy with Cintron going to the ambulance "Just Get Out Of Here, Just Go!" Like Kermit had been shot or something!

Missed it fellas what happened ?

I hate Antonio Margarito for the handwraps, but i would still like to see him in big fights. Antonio Margarito vs Alfredo Angulo/Antonio Margarito vs Andre Berto/Antonio Margarito vs Saul Alvarez/Antonio Margarito vs Miguel Cotto 2.

Are all good fights IMO.

He would murder Alvarez.
