Kermit Cintron vs. Antwone Smith, August 12th, ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights

[*Khan]

It's on. What do guys think about this match-up?

[Evil Abed]

Excellent match-up.

I slightly favor Smith.

But Kermit has to know this is it.

He has to put on a better performance.

Great crossroads fight.

[bballchump11]

Man this guy has fallen off. I'm excited to see it though on FNF

[*Khan]

I expect Cintron to pull through.

More experience.

Should be fired up from that setback.

He has power.

[Danny Gunz]

I love it, it should be a great fight. Smith really takes the fight to his opponent.

I liek Cintron in it though because Smith gets hit a little too much in the later rounds. But Smith has been an underdog in a couple of fights and has pulled the upset.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Sad.

Kermit has turned into a stepping stone for prospects.

[AnimalisticMeth]

What weight? If it is below 154 Kermit will lose he can't make 147 anymore.

[Spray_resistant]

This would be a great rebound for Smith after the Tyner loss, he is a good fighter overall and young too so he has plenty of time to learn.

[intoccabile]

Kermit has seriously allowed himself to turn into a gatekeeper.

This is a man who routinely comes in the ring at 170 after weighing in at 154. He quite possibly walks around 180 judging by his frame - the EXTREMELY wide back/shoulders.

He looked sick at the Molina weigh in trying to fight below 154 and he's not even a month removed from that fight (with full recovery) and is already back to cutting serious weight again.

This isn't just dumb for his career but dumb for his body. A guy that big naturally shouldn't be cutting weight again that soon, he's going to remain dry. He really has become a gatekeeper with this move. Sad, really.

I got Cintron by late stoppage.
