ESPN is jumping into the boxing pay per view market in a big way. The boys over at ESPN have put together one of the better pay per view cards in recent memory. Even with the Juan Diaz vs. Ebo Elder being cancelled due to an injury suffered by Diaz, the pay per view still has three very attractive bouts. Let's not forget to mention that the price tag for this event is $20 dollars less then the average boxing pay per view.
The main event features the hot undefeated prospect Kermit Cintron facing Antonio Margarito for the WBO welterweight title. Some experts are really high on Cintron and give Margarito little to no chance to win this bout. I really disagree with Cintron being the favorite to win this bout, I hold Margarito as the favorite in this bout.
Margarito has by far faced a better level of opposition in his career. Margarito is not some old fighter ready to get beaten by the young guy coming up. Margarito is only 27 years old and still has many years of boxing ahead of him. The reason this fight is so hot is because both guys can hit and neither has the greatest defense. Neither man has ever been stopped and to my knowledge, neither fighter has tasted the canvas. There is a very high chance that one of these fighters if not both of them, will taste the canvas tonight. The chances that one man will get stopped for the first time in his career is very high as well. Margarito has a big edge in experience and has an edge in stamina. If Margarito can survive the early rounds of the fight and take Cintron into the late rounds, he stands a very high chance of not only beating Cintron, but stopping him. The stamina of Cintron has appeared suspect and Margarito is a huge step up in class.
In his last fight, Margarito almost knocked the ear off of his opponent. Cintron is going to have to put the pressure on early and take it to Margarito from the start. Cintron cannot get too wild and waste powershots, he needs to save some fuel in the tank fo the late rounds.
