Williams / Cintron rules farce

[hackey]

what was frustrating was that Williams has just landed 3 great lefts on Cintron's chin and it looked like it was just getting going! Paul was just finding his range and tbh would have probably overwhelmed him later in the fight.

....most of the views from this fight are based on what "probably, coulda, might've happened. Williams could have been warming up gotten closer and BAM get caught with a shot in the 10th for all we know. They should have judged what they saw, not what they think they we're going to see, or what they were starting to see. Very odd night to say the least. If cintron would have got up and went on then loss, half of the people would now say he should have never continued after such a big fall on top of a monitor. And you know sure as shit that's what kermit would have said

the only honorable thing to do is have a rematch. calling a fight after 3.3 rounds is inexcusable.

Agreed. Cintron really did rock Williams at the opening of the 4th round before the fight ended. I'd like to see them get it on again.

I agree on the ring ropes and on the need for uniform rules.

But going to the cards after 3 rounds and change isn't materially different from going to the cards after 4 rounds. Neither is enough to judge a fight on. This fight would have been just as unsatisfying under the normal rules.

The part of it which really got my goat is that the ref had already been telling people at ringside that it was going to be a no contest, which is fair enough. Whilst the TV cameras were following Cintron's stretcher through the backstage area ( in a WWE style ) that's when they decide there actually is a result. No wonder Cintron's pissed off, and Williams has every reason to look sheepish claiming that farce as a win.
