Everyone gave him sht after the phantom pwill fall,and i defended him and justly so you saw a warrior last night,the guy was koed 3 times and kept trying to fight,he is over the hill but nonetheless my hat goes off to you Kermit that was a nasty beating you took.
I hope he seriously thinks about his career and what he wants to do from now on because I think his days as a close to top fighter are over. Maybe he should start a business or maybe hopefully he invested his money well and can live off of it comfortably I hope. Maybe he can be a swim teacher or a skydiver instructor either way what ever he plans to do or pursues, Im sure he'll dive head first into it and do ok in it. Maybe he can open his own puerto rican food restaurant next to VO and call his place KC to compete with Ortiz.
you aint never boxed before huh?
if you want to survive you keep your hands at home
you dont swing big like that.
he was trying to land something big to gain respect. that's not survival, that's trying to win the fight.
cintron acted like a fighter in spots last night
he still ducked his head, which is what prompted the stoppage, but when canelo was landing bombs on him kermit took them and tried to fire back
I keep hearing he was shot does that not garner more respect,i noticed from rd 1 his legs are gone they were completely stiff and the fact that hbo did not pick up on it was amateurish,even though Teddy is annoying he would have spotted that instantly.
He was throwing out of instinct, really.... He wasn't throwing to try to win.... it was more like survival swings.

At least Kermit had the guts to go to Mexico City and fight Alvarez for the WBC man. Saul is a beast, great fundamentals. Let's see ANYONE else take that fight in Alvarez's backyard.
It comes a time in EVERY boxer when its time to hang the gloves. The last thing a boxer looses is his power and Cintron is done. Canelo has faced lightweights, 2 B welters and a finished welter. Is time for him to face Kirkland, the winner of the Cotto-Cheater or a top jr middleweight and if they know anything about boxing, stay away from Mayweather. They would make Gatti look good.
honestly, I dont get all these Cintron props threads. I still thought he showed a weak heart last night. I think he tried to bow out with a fake or very minor leg injury. He went down on his own one time even though it wasnt like a Margarito-Cotto beating. I thought he just about quit again IMO
I give him credit this fight he tried his best and went out with a bang. he should hang em up though he's shot to ****
If he really tried his best and went out with a bang then why would you say he's shot to **** and suggest that he retires? A bit of a contradiction there. He didn't try his best... he just threw a few hard punches.
Even in a loss any true fan has to respect the heart he showed,that final rd he was throwing his hardest and was still in ko mode from the last rd.Also this might be it for Kermit and i hope it is,i just thought i would give some props to a guy who has entertained me and was always a solid b plus fighter.

Yea he went out swingin. You could see it in his eyes, he was fighting on nothing but guts and spirit.
