Cintron put up a valiant effort against Canelo which looked huge in comparison. One thing I noticed though is that Cintron, not known for being the most technically correct guy in the sport connected pretty often and in my opinion won the 2nd round pretty comfortably by not doing what Ronnie Shields wanted him to do. He just pumped the jab and caught him with quite a few left hooks.
Chavez Jr. would have more success in connecting but because Chavez punches have a lot more power he would have Canelo reeling. Chavez also has quicker hands and is a better counter puncher. I think a lot of people are selling Chavez short. Neither guy is all that special but I give the edge to Chavez.

He is also 150X more durable then Cintron.
But I Always thought Canelo would beat him but the fact the he sort of looked gassed after 4 rounds really worries me. THe fight is dead even IMHO
Chavez is a big fat middleweight.People say canelo is a big jmw,But i dont
see it.So i would think chavez jr size could give canelo problems.But if
canelo could take chavez jr punches,I think he can outbox him maybe ko
him in the later rounds.
