There is reason to be excited. I am from his hometown and I saw him in the gym training with one of his original trainers. Physically he looks amazing. I know what a guy's body looks like often means very little, but Kermit looked like a machine. I got to watch him go through his strength training. WOW is he strong. Looks nothing like the guy that fought on ESPN these last two time. He told me he is walking around at 168, and that for a most of his previous fights he could not get his weight above 155 even before training. He was pushing some serious weight when he was lifting, I was amazed by the weights he was lifting, and he dropped all his sparring partners.
He seems like a really cool guy. He talked boxing with me for about 20 minutes before he had to go. Was awesome to get that kind of inside info directly from the fighter himself. Was a real eye opener as I didn't expect that kind of honesty. Hope to see him start flattening guys again.
You got to love how the CUCARACHAS come out thier sh1t holes to discredit any and all PR boxers or when the cheating POS is mentioned.
An embarrassing to boxing, I cant believe how the Boxing Scene management, and moderating team allows such of bland disrespect, arrogance and overall unsportsmanship these cucarachas display each and every day.
I'm still pretty pissed for being banned for a week for calling out one of these POS Cucarachas! :banghead:
Should've been a permaban...

13 lbs gained, pushing serious weight, dropping sparing partners... Must be the protein shakes...

i call them out all the time and i've yet to get the fist for it. you can't let the mods keep you from speaking out against tyranny. stay strong.
Well i just want to know what happened to his power, he was flattening guys then he became a pitty patter who couldn't bust through wet toilet paper.
The seemingly drop in power came with his move up in weight.
Wasn't really a loss in his power, just fighting bigger guys who could take his power. At 147 he stopped 26 of his 29 wins. NDou being one of those he didn't knock out, but he has 13 losses with 0 KO's, losses include Canelo, Cotto, Witter.

Cintron was quoted after the fight (and well before the plaster scandal) with Margarito "I felt that I was being hit with bricks" -Cintron
Very interesting....:grr:
that's common rhetoric after a guy faces a puncher. punchers address the target with their knuckles, and you feel them through the glove. margarito isn't a massive puncher and cheated, but the rhetoric is still something you hear in cases where gloves weren't loaded.
they said the same thing about Duran, GGG, Trinidad and pretty much anyone that hits hard.
and Tito had a wrap scandal too
it's ALWAYS about race.

Any boxer? I think you're indirectly discrediting Cintron's win over an undefeated Angulo by essentially calling Angulo a push over. Limited, yes. But he's great at what he does and gives opponents hell if they try to make it their fight.
Also, lets not forget how these boards cried robbery when Cintron didn't get the TD over Williams (granted, I honestly couldn't give two fucks about a 4 round fight, but it's worth noting).
any "boxer / puncher" very obviously refers to a world class boxer with power.
angulo is great at nothing. he's an overrated puncher, his chin is not terrific, and he doesn't have a great gas tank. those are the three attributes that make a limited pressure fighter a viable commodity.
i was not posting on boxingscene when cintron fought williams, but i've got no issues with that fight being stopped. cintron did not want to fight, even though he was landing some of his gas. he probably saw the tall southpaw take his best punches and keep throwing, and looked for a way out. he literally jumped out of the ring. he lined himself up between the ropes with his eyes and jumped.
Plasterito ruined his confidence and punch resistant.

any boxer / puncher can do that to angulo, though. he's proven to be an extremely limited fighter, and he's done next to nothing with his chin or power.
cintron had a huge right hand (good left hook, too,) big shoulders / reach, and good athletic quality. he started boxing way too late to be anything special.

I used to be a big fan of Cintron but lately it seems like he doesn't commit to his punches and he's just there for a payday. There is no excitement in his fights anymore.
that's because he's completely shot.
I liked Kermit, but every fight since Williams, he just doesn't look like he wants to be in the ring. Like, he doesn't even put any muster on any of his shots. This guy could crack, but it disappeared all of a sudden. The Kermit I know KO'd Walter Matthysse all the way to the moon, and had a decent enough boxing ability to keep Angulo off him for 12 rounds for a convincing decision.

is that you, kermit?
if cintron has complately overhauled his body at his age there's only one thing that could be responsible: drugs.
i tend to think you're exaggerating. cintron has been damaged goods since the margarito fights.
