Kermit Cintron: "This Is The New, Improved Cintron"
By Kermit Cintron, told to Mike Woods
I will beat Margarito because I am now more mature in boxing, I’m a lot smarter boxer now than I was in 2005. Mentally, and physically, I’m ready.
Having Manny Steward working on my skills, he’s done a tremendous job, as I’ve shown in my last four fights.
Specifically, skill wise, he’s made me a complete fighter and boxer. I was already a puncher, and being a puncher, the kayo will come anyways.
I definitely do predict a win, and I’ll do whatever it takes to win, it doesn’t matter if I have to bite or kick. (Cintron smiles, and assures me he will not in fact be in no-holds-barred mode.) I have better skills and I will outsmart Margarito.
Some fans want to see a slugfest, they’re not gonna see a slugfest. That’s his type of fight, I’m a smarter fighter.
People may wonder if I have the ghost of Margarito from that loss in my head. I have no doubts in my mind. That happened three years ago. I’m over it. This is the new, improved Kermit Cintron.
You guys saw I fought Feliciano on November 23rd and got a TKO10 win. It was hard fighting with one hand. I injured my right hand, with strained ligaments, a slight fracture and a deep bone bruise, in the first minute of the first round. I showed heart, I could’ve quit. There was no way I was going to lose my title to Jesse Feliciano.
