Clottey vs. Cintron - A Good Fight With No Home

[IIG]

This fight will be picked up... If nothing else, Versus would be happy to air it. I'm really looking forward to this one, though Cintron only has a puncher's chance. I pick Clottey to win, but I'm unsure on how this one will end.

I'll give Cintron credit for Cintron continuing to show huge balls but he's in too deep once again.

BoxingScene.com was happy to hear that few problems exist in making the fight between IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey (35-2, 20KOs) and his mandatory challenger Kermit Cintron (30-2, 27KOs). That's the good news. [details]

I think this is a great match up because Cintron will force Clottey to fight and vice versa. Both are good solid punchers, top 10 Welter Weights & the IBF title will be on the line. I would love to see this fight because it's two interesting guys with two totally different fighting styles. Hopefully it gets picked up.

VERSUS was my first thought when I heard the big 2 werent looking at it.....

I cant say I blame HBO though. I mean its a great fight, but it doesnt have marquee fight written on it, and if there is no undercard to stick it on..... Usually when HBO is face with this though they make a B.A.D card and stick two other fights on there. Dunno why that cant be done.

Sounds like a Friday night Fights type of fight. I'd say Versus, but I doubt Versus wants to deal with Top Rank again.

Way to big for FNF......
ESPN's boxing budget is terrible.

**** I just want to see Clottey fight again, someone make it happen!!!

This is straight up booty man!! I could understand not wanting to televise it because they are not big name stars if HBO was dishing out some good BAD or WCB card but they are not.

Maybe a cable network will take it? It wouldn't hurt boxing to have this on ESPN or Versus.
A good fight like this that is fan friendly could give boxing more exposure.

Good to hear this fight is being made, hope Cintron can pull it off.

I can't believe this! Who wouldn't want to televise this fight? It's a given that it will be great. Two guys that come to fight, neither with any give. God damn, of all the ****e that's in boxing now, if they screw this up as well because of some useless reason....

Clottey needs to get these fights happening. He needs to get this done and then get Marg or Williams. Cotto is always good as well.
