Training of some various Boxing Contenders:

These are what Boxing fans call B-level fighters. Good fighters, strengths and all that but glaring weaknesses when put in with A-level fighters.

"The Killer" Kermit Cintron (note his right-hand when hitting the focus pads, yikes);

"Mighty" Mike Arnaoutis:

Text-book journeyman William Joppy:

Pauly Malignaggi (this guy might be a Lee Hotti look-alike but he's double-tough and quick as a hiccup. I don't think his sparring partner lands one clean punch):

Journeyman and former Champ Glen Johnson:

And last but probably most, Antonio Tarver (Tarver is in here because despite his victories against Jones, he did get whooped by two old men, lol):

No kidding...

Seriously though he showed a ton of heart in there against Cotto and I hope to see more of him

cintron's right does suck. if his opponent pats down the punch with his right hand, he would open up a good left hook.

Are you crazy? Cintron's got one of the hardest crosses/right hooks in that weight class right now. No one is swatting that. His jab is what sucks, he leaves it out there lingering when he's measuring for the big right. But he's been trainning with Steward so that should be improving.

Um, I don't think kabuki was saying that cintron's right sucks, he was saying it's good. And it is!

I think he also missed the part of the footage where Cintron was defending the counter-hook after throwing his right. People really should watch the whole clips or read the whole threads before they post.

oh wells, gotta start watching the whole thing from now on.

That kid (Paulie, not that other douche) can take a butt-whippin'. He was getting battered by Cotto and winking at the commentators.
