Paul Williams vs Kermit Cintron

[The Fightfan]

I too had Cintron ahead. I thought both guy's were starting to warmup

That's the thing. I don't think that Pal was just starting to step it up. Cintron was playing cat and mouse with him, and (at least in my eyes and William's corner) was winning every minute of every round.

BUT, Cintron found a way out of the fight. Teddy Atlas said just what my bro and I were thinking when we watched it. NO champion just lays down after a little tangle up. He is in the ring getting hit with fists and 8 weeks of sparring, road work, et al... And he want's to just lay down after getting thrown out the ring. And for those of you who haven't seen the "phantom punch" from the Martinez fight. Get up to speed. So funny.

I take it there were NO injuries sustained by Cintron?

I am not sure why no one is fazed by this. Williams has been exposed a couple times, and I can say safely it's because he gives up his height against guys he should be using it against.

Williams has big trouble with guys who are:
1. rangey
2. wide stance
3. fast, strong jab

I thought cintron was ahead card wise...but i don't feel sorry for cintron at all. That briggs-esqe leap out of the ring this dude took was ridiculous.
