http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/players/kermit_cintron/74862 Recent articles about Kermit Cintron en-us With the April 20 super welterweight unification showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Austin "No Doubt" Trout just a day away, FOX Deportes Classics will prepare fans for fight night on Friday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT with a series of three of the Mexican superstar's most memorable fights. In the main event, it's a trip back to November of 2011 when Canelo defeated former World Champion Kermit Cintron in the famed Plaza del Toros in Mexico City. Also featured will be Canelos' September 2011 defeat of fellow countryman Alfonso Gomez on Mexican Independence Day weekend as well as Canelo's first defense of his title against England's Ryan Rhodes from June 2011. Back in Mexico to close out his 2011 campaign, Canelo made an emphatic statement to the boxing world that he was ready for even bigger fights when he blasted former World Champion Kermit Cintron of Puerto Rico in just five rounds on November 26, 2011.  From there, it was clear that the ...

Hometown fighter Donovan “Da Bomb” George was handed a dud of a decision against fellow middleweight David Lopez, a split decision draw in a fight he clearly should have won. The right hand of George landed hard and often throughout the first four of the scheduled 10 rounds, at times staggering Lopez and slicing his left eyelid in the process. The southpaw Lopez settled down in the 5th and set up combinations off his jab. A Lopez left hook that landed seconds prior to the bell nearly floored George. Still, through six rounds, George (24-3-2, 21 KOs) connected with 64 of his power punches at a staggering 54 percent while Lopez landed 47 at a respectable 32 percent. Even if they split the following four rounds, George outlanded Lopez 121-105 at a 25-16 percent advantage going into the 10th round. Then there’s the grenade right hand with 30 ticks left that sent Lopez st...

Take away two suspicious losses to the disgraced cheater Antonio Margarito and he's never lost as a welterweight. He has almost insurmountable physical gifts of height and superior strength as a welterweight. And so, after losing three of four in a disastrous 18-month stretch, what's he going to do to get his career back on track? He's going back to welterweight. "I feel that it's always been my weight," explained the former champion. "I took my last couple fights at I54 lbs. because they were good opportunities, but you know I was always a better fighter at 147. I didn't gain the weight of a true 154 pounder. I went up to 153 lbs. on fight night, while the guys I was fighting went up to 170 to 175 lbs. I feel that 147-lbs is where I belong. I'm already on weight and I have a week left. It was never a problem to make welterweight." "EL Asesino" Cintron (33-5-1, 28 KOs) will face C...

Bob Papa, Roy Jones Jr. and Max Kellerman are all set to call the action.The tale of the tape shows that Cintron has a three-inch height advantage and a small edge in reach as well. Both men weighed in right at the 154-pound junior middleweight limit. Alvarez is 11 years younger than the 32-year old Cintron, though he's fought an amazing number of pro fights for someone so young and is already a seasoned ring veteran. He is making his third defense of his WBC junior middleweight belt, while Cintron is a former titleholder at 147 pounds.After a very long set of ring walks and songs for Canelo, we get down to the official introductions. Cintron is 33-4-1 with 28 KOs, though he is only 4-3-1 over the past three years. On the other side, Canelo sports a record of 38-0-1 with 28 knockout victories.With that out of the Sun, 27 Nov 2011 12:54:49 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/saul_canelo_alvarez_vs_kermit_cintron_round_by_round/8353720 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/saul_canelo_alvarez_vs_kermit_cintron_round_by_round/8353720 Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Kermit Cintron: Round By Round http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/saul_canelo_alvarez_vs_kermit_cintron_round_by_round/8353720 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/f/3/f39ba024ae63ce2f1d613b1e67179ed708d146c7/mini/GettyImageProxy.ashx_requestUrl_http_3a_2f_2fcache.gettyimages.com_2fxc_2f75416150.jpg_3fv_3d1_26c_3dEWSAsset_26k_3d2_26d_3d17A4AD9FDB9CF19363B56E6106AAF1024C4BB6ABAD490461.jpg Saul “El Canelo” Alvarez played matador tonight in the Plaza de Toros in Mexico City, beating Kermit Cintron up for five rounds before stopping him. Cintron looked to be in over his head from the start and treated the junior middleweight bout like a painful sparring session. This fight probably said much more about Cintron than Canelo, unfortunately. Before the fight, there was some speculation that Cintron's right hand might test Canelo. Instead, it was Alvarez' that did all the damage. Despite being the shorter man, Alvarez consistently landed it over the top of Cintron's pawing jab. Alvarez (39-0-1) won the largely conservative opening round with a couple of left right combinations while a listless looking Cintron wandered around the ring. Cintron (33-5-1) already looked to be lost and in discomfort in the second, while Canelo continued to land the harder punches. The Puerto Rican seemed more motivated at the start of the third, landing a straight right that momenta...

Generally his opponents end up becoming victims of a severe thrashing. This weekend Kermit Cintron, the Puerto Rican fighter known as "The Frog or The Killer" whichever you prefer, is challenging the young Mexican, Alvarez for the WBC Junior Middleweight Title.     Cintron has had a very traumatic childhood, having to witness his mother die of cancer which in turn has made him so determined to become a great fighter. He was trained by Hall of Fame Trainer, Emanuel Steward in the past just as middleweight prospect and current Antonio Margarito sparring partner, J'Leon Love was as well. His latest trainer Ronnie Shields has been training him using a faster pace style of training with lots of aggression. Cintron has also been working with his strength and conditioning coach, who has helped him greatly over his career spanning 38 fights (33 wins 4 losses 1 draw 28 KO’s).   Alvarez has been a rising star s Fri, 25 Nov 2011 22:01:05 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/will_saul_alvarez_dominate_again_this_weekend_against_kermit_cintron/8328853 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/will_saul_alvarez_dominate_again_this_weekend_against_kermit_cintron/8328853 Will Saul Alvarez Dominate Again This Weekend Against Kermit Cintron? http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/will_saul_alvarez_dominate_again_this_weekend_against_kermit_cintron/8328853 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/f/3/f39ba024ae63ce2f1d613b1e67179ed708d146c7/mini/GettyImageProxy.ashx_requestUrl_http_3a_2f_2fcache.gettyimages.com_2fxc_2f75416150.jpg_3fv_3d1_26c_3dEWSAsset_26k_3d2_26d_3d17A4AD9FDB9CF19363B56E6106AAF1024C4BB6ABAD490461.jpg (Saul Alvarez, left; Kermit Cintron, right)Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is either the future of the boxing or a spoiled child, depending on who you ask. It's unlikely that the argument is going to be solved by his junior middleweight fight this weekend with Kermit Cintron in Mexico City. Not unless Cintron pulls the upset and defeats Canelo, which is an unlikely prospect. On the other bout of the HBO televised double header, fellow hopeful Adrien Broner fights in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. His opponent, Argentina's Vicente Rodriguez, is a level below even Cintron. So this is meant to be a showcase night on HBO, hopefully before both men move on to bigger and better things. Alvarez (38-0-1) is only 21. In his native Mexico, he's already a superstar. He's getting that way with Mexican-American fans too. The problem is that he hasn't really beaten anybody of note -- unless you count allegedly beating up the Ring's number three man... at junior flyweight.....

On November 26, 2011 in Mexico City, a potentially great fight will take place as the 21-year-old Canelo Alvarez, at the front door of superstardom, will get his first big test at junior middleweight when he faces off against the ever so unpredictable veteran Kermit Cintron. Canelo's WBC junior middleweight title and superstardom are both at stake.

It could be the shell-of-himself fighter who sometimes looks like he doesn’t want to be there, or it could be the sharp hard-punching knockout artist who could certainly stunt the growth of an up and coming kid like Alvarez. In this fight, one fighter has youth and size on his side, while the other fighter is a veteran with experience and decent boxing skills, so which one of these fighters will have ...
