    I hope its the Citron that was outboxing Williams. I bet he's very hungry in this fight considering what's at stake. If the Molina and Smith versions, he's done. End of.

      But here's the kicker. Do you know what the judges scores were at the time of the BS stoppage with him and Gomez?

      Judge 1 - 50-44

      Judge 2,3 - 49-45

      Can you believe that?

      I actually had Gomez winning the fight. What more did you want Gomez to do. Canelo was defensive and not throwing any punches, while Gomez was landing and bringing the fight to Canelo. Who is Canelo, Willie Pep all of a sudden?
      But come on you got to give the kid some sort a credit for not letting these type fights go to a decision. Wow, 50-44 huh?

        I can't give the kid credit as being champ as long as he's fighting the Gomez's/Cintron's in boxing. When he steps up his comp, I'll give him all the credit in the world.

        If he can KO Kirkland with Anne Wolfe as his trainer, which I highly doubt, he will get more credit from me than a Visa Platinum card.

        Yeah, it was 50-44. Unbelievable.

          C'mon. You really want the version that leap frogged out of the ring? Canelo is gonna smash tiny heart.

            Im still on the fence with this fight but i give Cintron a slight edge on experience. I wonder though what happens when Canelo goes to the body but of course what happens when Cintron lands something hard on his chin.

              I know Cintron hasn't looked good in his last couple of fights, but Smith is a durable guy, and Molina is just plain awkward, skilled, but awkward. I think Cintron will come motivated and prepared, knowing this is his last chance. Like I said, Kermit is not a top tier fighter, he's a top 15 top 20 level fighter. When he comes to the ring focused and prepared though against the right opponent, he can do things, and to me, in my opinion, Canelo's very questionable defense makes it a more than dangerous fight for him, at times Canelo looks like an unstoppable force, and then at the very next second look extremely vulnerable, (look at the Gomez fight i.e.) but Gomez was a lower level fighter that didn't have a second gear and Canelo capitalized. I think overall Canelo is a better fighter than Cintron, and in the future will be a much better fighter, but in the things he's flawed in right now are the worst things he could be flawed in facing Cintron. But if Cintron hits him which in my opinion will happen beyond a shadow of a doubt, he's not going to handle it well at this point in his career. I don't see why some people aren't seeing what I'm seeing here.

                I can see Cintron temporarily derailing Canelo just like he did Angulo...

                Really depends on which version shows up, but im thinking at this stage of his career Cintron could provide Canelo with problems.

                Very dangerous fight, but if he wants to carry that belt...
