THIS SHOULD BE GOOD TEST FOR BOTH GUYS

This is a toss up fight. IMO, I think Clottey takes this by UD if his hands holds up. I anticipate a great fight come Dec. 1. This will be an explosive fight.

With this fight, Kermit Cintron will inch ever so closer to being the most respected of welterweight titlists. This is a very dangerous fight for him, one that he could conceivably lose. But it is these kind of fights that will determine whether he ever lives down the stigma of the Margarito debacle.

CINTRON IS NO TONY...HE WILL GET KOED IF HE GETS HIT AS HARD AND AS MANY TIMES AS CLOTTEY HIT TONY.......BUT IF HE DOSENT THEN ITS GOODNIGHT CLOTTEY

Clottey is going to take cintrons heart and KO him either that or Clottey hurts his hands and Cintron get the Sd.

Clottey isn't a big KO artist, but he's busy and could conceivably outwork Cintron. I think Clottey's guile will enable him to almost nullify Cintron's mid-range power. It's going to be a fight about shorter punches, and that might be up Clottey's alley.

2007 best year of boxing in forever no doubt

I agree, if Clottey's hands hold up I have him geting the victory. Should be a hell of a fight any way you look at it.
