Clottey beats Cintron IMO

[mrrupo]

he crumbled over the pressure of a blown up Feliciano. and the stoppage was kinda quick IMO.

15 punches landed, 14 of them power shots, uncontested. how is that a quick stoppage. Do i think feliciano was going down? probably not, but that is not why a fight gets stopped. a fight gets stopped when a fighter does no protect himself and will get hurt, and feliciano would have been hurt.

and he did not crumble. the only reason feliciano was able to apply that pressure is because cintron couldnt keep him outside because of a busted hand. had the hand been in use, fight would have been over by the 4th round. he almost had him done in round 1. cintron was instructed to let feliciano come inside and throw all he wants. listen to the between rounds instructions from manny steward. the announcers even say "wow, that is interesting instructions from cintrons corner. i dont agree with that at all." cintron was doing what he was told by his trainer in order to win a fight with a busted hand. HE STILL KO'D the guy. I have never before seen a guy get so much **** for a KO win.

I agree. As long as Clottey doesn't hurt his hands, I think he'll beat him.

IMO Clottey and Cintron are somewhat overrated. The natural fight for Cintron is a rematch with Margarito to see he can avenge that shellacking.

If these two fought, Clottey has a great chin and good defense, it would probably be a UD for him if he bothered to be busy enough in the late rounds.

Cintron got hit a lot more than he should have by both Feliciano and Estrada because those guy are sloppy offensively and predictable. He needs to improve that facet of his game if he's going to fight top tier comp.

Clottey very close UD win which would be given to Cintron because he's the champ.

i have been over this too many times about Cintrons hand. it was not broke at all. and if thats the case, it should break in the Clottey fight as well because Clottey has a great chin and will fight him back. the point is, Feliciano was a blown up fighter who was not even ranked, and Cintron fought life and death with the man. do you think Mayweather, Cotto, or Williams would fight life and death with Feliciano? please, Cintron is soft. many fighters dont even flinch when thier hand is actually broke.

OH and if this fight happens (which i think it will) im up for a points bet. i got Clottey by UD.

you got it man.

and as far as the hand... everyone know's it wasnt broken. it was severe ligament damage, but how, in the middle of a fight, would anyone know that their hand is broken or not? all you would know is that it hurts horribly, it's been broken before, and you've had 5 surgeries on it before. of course you assume it's broken. It would have been kind of odd for him to say to manny "manny, bro, i think i severely damaged my ligament."

ok deal. but his hands seemed fine until he started to roll around on the floor celebrating the victory, there were no signs of it being sore during the fight because he was throwing his right hand all fight long.

I already posted about the suposse "ligament injury", which is bull****!

he did not throw it all fight long. he slapped it a couple of times and then shook it. go back and watch the fight again. he threw almost exclusively left hooks, a punch you rarely see cintron throw. he really only threw the right when he smelled a KO.

just cuz you posted that it was bs, doesnt make it so. i sincerely doubt one of the most respected orthopedic hand surgeons in my area, and in the country, would make something up. why would he care?
