Steward: "I'm Not Comfortable Kermit Will Win"

[Mr. David]

Steward has been criticized in the past when he has spoken highly of his fighter in the run-up to a bout (Jermain Taylor, Andy Lee) and then said fighter has lost.

I hope those same people give him credit for this statement.

Steward is honest
Frogy is done

[Scott9945]

Those comments are more appropriate for an HBO commentator that Cintron's trainer. It seems to me that Manny has blurred those lines, which isn't to his clients best interest.

Doesn't look good for Kermit at all, he look petrified during that weigh in.

War Cintron!! War! God Dam It

[JoartCC]

jesus, manny wheres the professionalism?

I can imagine the scene now.

Kermit flat on his back, eyes glazed, staring through the ropes at Steward.

Steward: Yap, this is exactly how I expected this fight would go.

Funny ****.

You have to give him props!what it comes down to is...the will to be great, and to do that you have to take chances. If you don't try to dare to be great... you will always have it in the back of your mind that you never gave it your best gave your heart to something that yeah you know what there is an overwhelming possibly I will lose. For all the peps that have done this in their life they know what it's like for all the people who play it safe... you will never know because you never tried. If more people took chances in boxing as opposed to taking the safe secure rout it would bring it back to the golden years of when people used to watch greatness. win or win Kermit's my boy! mad respect for this fight!

[MANGLER]

I'm not comfortable that Cintron will win either. It's a nice way to put it from Manny, because Cintron won't win.
I'll be shocked if he does.

Co-sign. Manny has balls to say that about his charge and Cintron does for not duckin Marg.

I almost hope that Cintron wins and then fires Steward for his unprofessionalism. Now that would be funny.

Steward perhaps learned his lesson from the Andy Lee loss.
As someone mentioned, Steward is always right, even when he's wrong.
He will be on the jock of a fighter all night, then when that same guy get's ko'ed he will conveniently say that's exactly what he expected to happen.

He does that **** all the time, like he was right all along.
