Saul Alvarez/Kermit Cintron - BoxNation 2am Saturday - Predictions

First topic message reminder :

toughest test for alvarez tonight. facing a big puncher and the jury on how good alvarezs chin is not really out yet as he was stunned by light punching jose cotto. cintron coming towards the end of his career but still dangerous.

how do you see it panning out?
also use this as a discussion thread during the fight - i will be here anywho.

yeah the first right hook would have had him on the floor but he was going down slowly the next right hook was a sickener

Threw some wild right hooks early on, but it was his first pro fight so it'll be worked on.

Carries a lot of power in that right for a southpaw.

amateur record of chris pearson 93 wins 8 losses - very good

20th bum on Wilders record.

christ did you just say deontay wilder?

Wilder looks good but he's fought bums. They need to move him up in class now.

maybe but ive been interested in him for a while now and i really think he could do something

He might he looks to have all the tools. His legs look very thin I'm not sure how they would hold up to a right hand from a Klitschko. Sometimes your chin can be good but your legs can let you down.

how good can alvarez be?

Good that he tries to use the jab and doesn't just wing it, could be doing with a step up though that was his 20th fight, will be keeping an eye on him.

yeah he basically doesnt have calfs does wilder

that was a minor step up to be honest

gary russell jr YAY.

Russell Jr should look good tonight.

I'm a big fan of Alvarez future P4P #1 imo.

The guy Wilder was fighting was almost a decent fighter tonight though.

Think it's certainly time for a step up in class.

Sure i've seen this Ruiz guy before

possibly yeah seems a bit JCC like in the way he keeps fighting - not the jr one

Russell looks in awesome shape.

I thought that might have been Friday night fights.

wow

OMFG JESUS

Wow, another sick knockout!

now thats a ko

Jr is going to be in the mix soon

Rafael Marquez would be a good fight for Russell Jnr now.

guy still isnt able to walk

Yeah definately, be a good test.

What weight class was that last fight?

Featherweight i think

Yeah definately, be a good test.

Marquez probably isn't capable of beating him any more but it would get him good recognition and a stoppage would be good on his record. With Gamboa moving up and there is no chance of GBP sending him to Indonesia to fight John it's an open division.

gary russel comes across as a nice kid

Riddick Bowe, this should be interesting

Yeah Russell seems sound, great to see such a huge talent without the ego to match.

is bowe for real?

Motherwell

did you see the powercut? i missed it live was out

The Galveston Giant wrote:Motherwell

Just be thankful you don't live there you would throw yourself out one of those big tall grey buildings they have. Such a dull place.

did john rawling really compare the powercut to "fan man"

never been to motherwell but people dont speak all that highly of it

Probably. Working with Bunce must rot your brain.

This is on because HBO are showing 24/7 for Cotto-Margarito. Would be better if boxnation did the same.

you really have a dislike to bunce kev!

Never been Kev, was near when i went fishing to Magiscroft from the Aidrie side, as close as i plan to go, seen a few high rises getting demolished in Motherwell in the paper last week.

I'm not a fan of Rawling.

=/ scott posted it the other day but am yet to watch it will do tommorow. i imagine theyre just painting marg as a super villain.

marg has that beetles hairdo in the promo - he looks comical cant take him seriously

He looks like he runs a drug cartel. Apparently his sparring partners were told to target his eye. That's not good news for Cotto if it's been tested and came through OK.

I keep thinking it's going to say Cotto v Pacquiao at the end, it's a cracker

Burns vs Crolla won't happen. Crolla is promoted by Hatton no way will Frank give a Hatton fighter a shot he isn't due.
