Kermit Cintron in Florida: Saturday Night Renaissance

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Wearing a pedestrian green T-shirt and sunglasses, Kermit Cintron stood quietly to the side of the post-fight media conference room Saturday, looking every bit as much the interested bystander as the evening’s biggest in-ring story.

And by the time he grabbed a microphone to answer some questions a few minutes later, he didn’t need to say much. His presence had already been announced.

“I’ve been a fan of Kermit Cintron’s since long before I promoted him,” gushed a jubilant Lou DiBella. “He’s a tremendous puncher and he’s a tremendous athlete, but I’ve sort of been waiting for that night that he was going to put it all together.

“And tonight was that night. He should be so proud of himself for this, because the performance he gave tonight was the kind of thing that you’ll remember forever.” [details]

Sergio beats him in the rematch imo, but I wanna see it. Got more respect for Cintron after the fight.

Go for it Cintron, and **** Margo there's a reason he's banned now. If Dibella would put him against Berto har har :P

No doubt, the kid made an adjustment that I didn't think he could pull off. But I think Martinez beats him again too.

he still struggles in the long run, angulo was chasing cintron instead of cutting him off, that was the inexperience giving angulo his first defeat. good win but i still dont see cintron climbing to much higher at 154

That's how we know a guy like Williams will whoop him.

Gary Shaw's comments about Angulo's "illness" is ridiculous. I was at the fight and personally witnesses Angulo the night before the fight. He was with his "posse" walking on the boardwalk/shopping area adjacent to the Hard Rock. He was laughing, walking, and even eating an ice cream treat as they walked. He was not "ill" at all. For Mr. Shaw's information...I believe the "illness" started once he realized he was being dominated by Cintron in every single way...maybe by round 3. For Gary Shaw to take anything away from Cintron's victory is a disgrace. Just call it as it is. Cintron is the better fighter...plain and simple. The result had NOTHING to do with any sickness or illness. What it had to do with was a superior boxer dominating a very good fighter who has nothing to be embarrassed about...he simply lost to a better boxer - Kermit Cintron!

good win for the baby.

thankfully angulo will start to decline; your career will do that after you've lost to a cintron type.

no surprises however that there are excuses as to why he lost ... where have all the mexican cowboys gone?

I don't think this is the first time Gary Shaw has pointed to illness to protect his investment!!
