I made a thread on here a few days ago talking about the Cintron fight from the POV of the Cintron camp. I said it was 50/50 for them to take this fight because Angulo has the perfect style for Cintron to look good against but Cintron might get destroyed because he sucks against Southpaws. I said that if Angulo was a righty then Cintron would definatly win but its 50/50 with Angulo being a lefty and it could be an easy loss.
Then I turn on the fight last night and Angulo is fighting righty. I was thinking that maybe he was just starting off that way like Hagler did against Hearns but I was wondering why the commentators never said anything. Soon after I realized that Angulo must be a righty. I havent watched him fight that much but nearly every time I turn him on he is always fighting Southpaw. Last night I was wondering was I just totally wrong and he never fights that way. So after getting dominated for 6 rounds, he goes Southpaw in the 7th and I thought he started killing Cintron. Then I heard the HBO guys talk like Angulo does switch often so maybe thats what confused me. Anyways, I thought AA started dominating that round but then Cintron landed like one 4 punch combo and immediatly AA went back to righty. Why? Its just like Berto to me. Cintron looked awful against the Southpaw Martinez and AA may not be a natural Southpaw but he can fight in that stance like its natural. I think if he wouldve fought Southpaw most of the night then he would have won. I always thought AA was garbage but he would end up having a very solid career because he's a Southpaw. Now that I know he's a righty, he will always suck.
As for Cintron, I said in that thread a few days ago that if he wins then he should fight Forrest. There is no way I would ever put him in the ring with a Southpaw. Not Martinez, not Kirkland, not Spinks, not Lattimore, and no way I put him in with Williams. I wouldnt fight any of those guys unless there is no way else to fight. He should fight Forrest next. Does Shields still train Forrest too? If not then its a perfect fight because Shields knows Forrest. Cintron is still the PR version of Jermaine Taylor when it comes to coordination. They are by far 2 of the worst coordinated top pros I have ever seen
