Kermit Cintron: Juliano Ramos or Joshua Clottey Next

[supRa]

Yes, but Angullo can't box to save his life, he is also slower than Margarito which says a lot. Clottey has faster hands than Cintron it isn't even close, and he has the better boxing skills.

Totally agree with everything you said. But if Cintron is avergaing 80 punches a round, the judges will be tempted to give him a lot of rounds based on workrate.

Clottey is the far superior fighter, but his workrate has always been his downfall, and against a busy fighter like Cintron, it could get him in trouble with the judges.

Possibly, I see Cottey beating him down.

I agree. I'm definitely favoring Clottey. But Cintron will be a live dog cause of Clottey's tendency to stop throwing.

But I also agree, it's easy to throw a lot against a guy with no defense and no countering ability. If Clottey starts countering, and picks off a lot of punches with that guard, Cintron could get discouraged and stop throwing himself. He's not the strongest fighter, mentally.

Cintron has the tendancy to stop throwing against good fighters. Once Margarito started outclassing him he stopped fighting and just got beat up.

I like Clottey but he always comes short and leave it up to the judges, most of his wins are by UD, if Cintron comes in with his confidence right he can K.O. Clottey he gas great punching power and I feel Clottey will give the fight away like he's done before. Like someone else said before "Cintron huge talent, small balls" but IMO he gets the win.

I thought Clottey was going to fight Mosely next? What's going on?

[Ray*]

Wasnt clottey contracted to fighting Mosley???

I thought Clottey was going to fight Mosely next? What's going on?

Thats what i thought but no-one seem to have an answer..

Thats what i thought but no-one seem to have an answer..

HBO gave away Mosley's date to Williams/Pavlik, so the fight was gonna happen on December 26. Than HBO got cold feet about airing a fight so close to Christmas, so they axed that.

As a consolation HBO is trying to give Hopkins' date to Shane and are promising Arum a televised undercard spot for Clottey on the undercard of Pavlik/Williams.

Pavlik-Williams Re-Scheduled For December 5th, With Clottey On the Under-Card - Fingers Crossed!

by James Slater - Fight fans the world over are getting excited once again about the hugely intriguing Kelly Pavlik-Paul Williams match-up, re-scheduled as it is for December 5th, at The Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Now that "The Ghost's" infection-ridden finger has been sorted out and the middleweight king will be ready to recommence training in early October, the fight all of boxing wants to see can now be looked ahead to.

"Sugar" Shane Mosley's December 26th fight with Joshua Clottey is off now, however, and Clottey will instead feature on the December 5th card, against an as yet unknown opponent.. Mosley will now have to wait until early next year before he fights again, and against who remains to be answered (although Andre Berto looks a good possibility to land the fight.)

It's great news indeed that the hard-to-pick middleweight title fight is back on though. Fans have missed seeing Pavlik doing his stuff for long enough, and his first fight back in nearly ten months sure promises to be a fine one. Okay, some fans will perhaps choose not to believe the fight will actually take place until both men are in the ring, but surely the fight cannot fall apart for a second time and get delayed again; can it!?!

Clottey, who was very much looking forward to tackling Mosley, will almost certainly be upset, and it is to be hoped he gets a good opponent to fight on the card by way of compensation (he had, after all, already begun making training arrangements for the Mosley fight). Clottey has also had some trouble getting the fights he wants, and in that regard he is not unlike "The Punisher," Paul Williams. But the lanky southpaw now, at last, has in his sights the fight he's wanted for some time.

December's cracking contest really is a must-win fight for both men. For Williams, who has already won titles at welterweight and light-middleweight, a win will make him a genuine star and a highly sought after pay-per-view attraction. For Pavlik, a win will go some way towards making people forget about the middleweight champ's catch-weight loss to Bernard Hopkins, while it will also put him back in line for further big money fights.

There will be so much on the line for both warriors in the final month of the year that a 100-percent effort will be given by both, and the fans will be the lucky ones as a result. A possible classic in the making, it is, after all, perhaps fitting that Pavlik Vs. Williams took so long to make and that it had to go over a couple of speed bumps along the way.

But all the same, let's hope there aren't any more! Williams-Pavlik always was too good a fight to lose.
