Is Kermit Cintron really that much improved?

How do you think a rematch with Margarita would go?

Margarito owns him.

Antonio has a great chin. Tony would just pressure him again, and make Cintron crumble.

For once i actually agree with you.

My money would be on Cintron.

The fact is Cintron's only chance of beating Margarito in a rematch is to not take the same appraoch he took in the first fight..... Cintron honestly believed he could KO Tony the 1st time and because of it went straight at him, i believe thats a no no when fighting Marg and the only way you can beat him is by countering him staying away from his power and moving in and out, because his movement absolutely sucks!

Cintron knocked out a guy in the last fight that Paul Williams couldn't get rid of until the 10th round.

Cintron knocked him out in 2. And devestatingly I might add. The guy he fought was no slouch, Williams tried to play it down like he softened the guy up before Cintron fought him, but it was damn impressive non the less.

Cintrons angles were so crisp in that fight it was like his opponent didn't even have a defense even though his gloves were up. Manny Steward has really helped him and I think will greatly improve him.

Margarito - I give him his props, I thought Williams was going to blow him away in the first part of that fight, but Margarito is a worker and down the stretch you could see Paul was somewhere he was unfamiliar with, the deep water. A rematch with Cintron would be interesting, and I believe different.

matthysse was not that good of a litmus test but Cintron definitely has some power

Hard to say. Not much to go on really. I think Margarito tools him a second time too. We'll see if the Steward coaching has really mattered yet.

I don't know if he's improved, I think ghis situation has. He could make the claim that in the first fight with Margarito, he had **** he had to deal with. With that being said, he may have improved, skill-wise aswell. Regardless, he's a fighter who relies on his punch, and Margarito has one of the better chins in the business. I think, stylistically, that's a fight CIntron always has a problem with. HOWEVER, I do think if Cintron listened to Steward, he'd have a decent chance. And Margarito CAN be knocked down, so.. there's that.

Cintron has a great chance to win a rematch against Margarito if he can avoid an inside brawl. Of course Margarito may be hungrier this time around also and Cintron's chin in my mind is still very questionable, no not questionable actually i know he cant take a great shot and when he gets hurt he tends to be far too concerned with not looking hurt, see the Estrada fight. The guy was smiling and pandering to the crowd but he had an iron grip around Estrada cause if he wasnt holdin on he probably couldnt stand up. MArgarito hits quite a bit harder than Estrada. The other thing with Cintron is he has a very thin frame which makes him real susceptible to a strong body attack. Like I said earlier he cant afford to hold his hands low or he'll be out like a light.
