Cintron’s Right Hand, Steward’s Mind And Margarito’s Will “(Margarito) creates openings, he doesn’t wait for them.” — Teddy Atlas, April 23, 2005. • The night ESPN’s expert commentator uttered those words, he was ringside for a fight that featured WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito and undefeated knockout specialist Kermit Cintron. Although at the time Atlas was making a general statement about Margarito, he could have been articulating the major stylistic difference between the two fighters before him. • Margarito created openings. Cintron waited for them. And Margarito went directly through Cintron. —Bart Barry, CBSSports.com
Tarver Needs To Fight Dawson Next Joe Louis was wrong, as it turns out. • The legendary heavyweight champion once famously said, “He can run, but he can’t hide.” • Apparently, though, the “Brown Bomber” never heard of Antonio Tarver. Tarver is doing a pretty good job of running and hiding from Chad Dawson, the WBC light heavyweight champion. —Kevin Iole, Yahoo! Sports
