Jesus man, take it easy. I don't think he was putting down that post as an excuse. He was just mapping out some possible points and saying his opinion on the fight. No need to jump to conclusions, or bag someone out for their contribution. Saying he is using Cintron's injury as an excuse isn't really feasible, because he has just injured his hand. I think all he was saying was will this be a factor? Could it effect him coming into this fight? They're reasonable questions to ask aren't they? No need to jump down his neck for it. He's just putting down his thoughts on the fight, same as everyone else is doing.
Anyway, I have a feeling Cintron will not have improved enough to be able to out-box Margarito and take this to a decision. He is basically a KO fighter and that is what his career has been based on so far. The first fight showed that Margarito can take his shots and come back giving some which Cintron couldn't take.
Unless Steward has made some drastic improvements I see this fight going the same way, but, it is still possible that Cintron could surprise us and take a win. He does have the ability to do it despite what some people here think, he has better technical skills than Margarito and if he can put those into play and not look for a KO straight away he might be able to get a win similar to Williams. If he can come out straight away and pile up the points, because we all know that Margarito is a slow starter, it's possible he could get enough of a lead to just try and counter punch in the second half of the fight and eek out a decision. The only problem is does he have the mental strength to keep it going when Margarito comes on strong in the second half of the fight and be willing to tough it out and fire back to hang on. That is the big question I think.
If this happens I believe it could be quite an interesting fight. Either way, it will be a good fight actually. I have a feeling though that Margarito will be able to bring it on strong in the latter half of the fight and break Cintron down, if not earlier.Comment

Cintron may be in even more trouble because what Marg took away from the Williams loss is that he needs to start his bouts more urgently. After the smackdown of Golden Penis he proclaimed that he will come out firing like that for all of his fights now.Comment

I would think he'll be a little more careful not to be caught cold by a flush Cintron punch. Cintron's raw power is the only thing that gives him a chance in this fight.Comment

That's the ONLY thing that scares me about this fight, for Tony to come out swinging on the first round and be left open for one of Kermit's right, but then again Margarito took a lot of his right hands on their last fight and ate them all like if they were enchiladas. Tony by TKO.Comment
