My perception of Cintron is he has confidence issues, poor foot-work, and terrible defense. After hearing his declaration that this fight would be dedicated to his Puerto Rican people, I thought I would've seen a different fight other than an almost exact replay of their initial fight.
Anyway, it's painfully obvious to Cintron now that Margarito kicks his ass 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and least we forget, 24 hours a day. Manny can not give that young man heart. Your either born with it or you ain't. Cintron needs to move up to 154, he has the frame for it, because dancing with any of the elite at 147 is only another brutal beat down for him.Comment

I think he's a good puncher, but that's about it.Comment

He's clearly one dimensional and his best weapon is his right hook. He is so pathetic, I think andre Berto stops him late even at this point in bertos career.
He is a joke, and overrated him. He fought the same ******ed fight before. He purposely fought a in close battle with margarito*margarito didn't really need to chase him, Cintron was the one who wanted to fight in the inside?*
All in all, he is crap and he will never be nothing more then crap. I thought he looked bad against jesse felicano because he had an off night, turns out Cintron is crap and he probably was even hurt in that fight at times against jesse, thats how pathetic I think cintron is now. He is a huge fraud and so one dimensional. Hope he got paid well because he fails at the elite level.
I'm not a cintron fan anymore because of the way he fought, he didn't fight smart at all. He fought like a complete moron, puertoricans who watched that fight last night were like what the hell was that. Oh, and I'm not puertorican but I'm just saying he let his ppl down and he let his fans down yet again.Comment

I thought he struggled mightily versus Estrada and Feliciano, as well as the Margarito beatdowns.
His confidence is going to be an issue, but there's no reason he can't still be an entertaining fighter, just not a champ.
He doesn't have the flexibility or head movement to be at the upper levels.
I am sure guys will line up thinking they can do the Margarito thing and pressure him.
Of course, some of them will be wrong, but it's bound to be exciting in a way that Antuwan Echols, Richard Hall type fighters fights are.Comment

Mark Suarez, Teddy Reid & David Estrada were all solid contenders that Cintron blasted out, & Matthysse was a dangerous fighter, even if his conditioning & training habits a little suspect.
Cintron's could still pick up another title if he continues seriously - would like to see him in against the rejuvenated Quintana, Paul Williams or Andre Berto after a confidence builder against a journeyman.
However, what has become pretty clear is that he doesn't handle consistent pressure very well.
He could fight Margarito a dozen times with exact same result, & pretty much the same against Cotto, although suspect he would do better against Cotto (Cotto simply not as busy as Margarito when he starts fast)
Him beating Paul Williams & Carlos Quintana would be a big deal for him personally, as well as a kind of boxing justification, & hope he goes for those fights.
Also, if Margarito vacates to fight Cotto, he'd probably be in line to fight the winner of Clottey & who-ever as the former champ.
Him against Clottey would be worth watching.Comment

Where is the Clottey love coming from? He didn't look great against Alvarez or in his last three fights.
Just kinda surprised he's still in the mix when he hasn't really looked like all that and seems to take a lot of later rounds off.Comment
