Tonight's HBO split-site double-header will go live at 10:30 p.m. EST, with a pair of title fights coming your way.
In the main event from Mexico City, young phenom Canelo Alvarez (38-0-1, 28 KO) will defend his WBC junior middleweight title against declining Puerto Rican Kermit Cintron (33-4-1, 28 KO).
[ Related: Lee Payton's Preview and Analysis ]
Cintron, 32, is coming off of a pair of uninspired efforts in July and August, first getting routed by Carlos Molina, and then slipping past Antwone Smith. If Cintron is his old self -- or some approximation -- he could be a bit more trouble than Golden Boy believed he was when they signed him up for this one, because Alvarez, 21, wasn't exactly flawless last time out either, a win over Alfonso Gomez in September.
In the co-feature, Cincinnati's own Adrien "The Problem" Broner (21-0, 17 KO) looks to grab the vacant WBO super featherweight strap against Argentina's unknown Vicente Rodriguez (34-2-1, 19 KO). There will also be highlights from featherweight prospect Gary Russell Jr (18-0, 10 KO), who faces veteran Heriberto Ruiz (47-11-2, 29 KO) on the undercard. Russell was originally slated to fight Dat Nguyen, on TV, but when Nguyen pulled out, Russell lost his live spot.
We'll have live, round-by-round results of both of the main fights, with immediate post-fight analysis coming after. And don't forget that Cotto vs Margarito 24/7 precedes the live fights at 10 p.m. EST, and last week's episode was, in my view, the best episode in the entire history of the series, so you might want to tune in early.

Beautiful… time for him to step up…
I think that may have been one of those first round I’m still cold knock outs though
http://fistonchin.com http://brightlightssports.com
Think he was just truly outmatched
Not taking anything away from the shot though
Who was the “opponent” anyway? Missed his name & record?

That and the guy he was fighting wasn’t on his level. I guess 6 more months of ‘showcase’ fights before he is put in with any of the top guys. Though I think a titleholder like Billy Dib is there for the taking for Russell.

Much like Mundine, I don’t see him leaving, certainly not for Russell.
Last time I watched Dib to be fair was the Luevano fight. I wasn’t impressed then, but he may have improved (I doubt it).

On a different thread
it was mentioned that he didn’t have knock out power, which is needed to big time small fighter, similar to the prince. Let’s see if this knockout display continues…
http://fistonchin.com http://brightlightssports.com
He has a ton of speed and a lot of technique. That will translate into knock outs when he catches people clean. Which he did. My only concern is that he is pretty small, which to be fair only prevents him from being a four-five weight champ.

Broner vs Rodriguez Round 1
Well, Rodriguez is short.
Broner backs Rodriguez down about a minute in with a solid shot. Roy: “hurt BAD!” Roy has a hard-on for Broner. A boner for Broner if you will. Right hand from Rodriguez gets in. Broner’s punches are short too often — he pulls back too quickly, sort of like Devon Alexander. Easily his round, but this matchup looks like it sucks as much as we expected.
Broner 10-9

Broner vs Rodriguez Round 2
Rodriguez coming forward and winging his arms around, but he’s painfully slow and doesn’t look to have much zip on the old fastball. Broner isn’t doing a damn thing this round. Waiting waiting waiting. Rodriguez isn’t landing much but he’s throwing two times the punches and Broner isn’t landing much either. Broner with a couple jabs. He fights so arrogantly.
Rodriguez 10-9
19-19

Broner’s jab annoys me, it is thrown really fast and usually short, but judges will count it as a scoring shot if it hits the other guys gloves. Still, he is levels above this guy.

Broner vs Rodriguez Round 3
Rodriguez throwing everything he has with Broner leaning back on the ropes. Well, he’s making Broner uncomfortable and roughing him up, and he got a couple body shots in. I mean Rodriguez didn’t score much there but Broner didn’t score at all. BIG uppercut from Broner stuns Rodriguez, and now Adrien is going for the finish! Righ and HUGE LEFT HOOK AND DOWN GOES RODRIGUEZ!
he may not get up. He got CLOCKED there throwing back. IT’S OVER
Adrien Broner KO-3
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
That was pretty. Fantastic uppercut, and didn’t get crazy when he had Rodriguez hurt.
by Verklemptomaniac on Nov 26, 2011 10:50 PM EST reply actions
Uppercut was wicked, and when he commits to a shot, he has legit power. I go back and forth with Broner — I wonder about him in a tough fight (like Ponce De Leon), but when he’s on point, he can be filthy with power shots.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
What I liked about this fight was seeing him mix up his punches at the right times. Guy was using a high, tight guard and leaning forward, so he threw uppercuts. Had the guy hurt and was missing head shots, so he slammed Rodriguez to the body. It’s excellent ring intelligence that bodes well.

Look rough against legit opponent and then blowout guys tailor-made for him which leads to people going crazy for his talent. I just wanna see how he responds when he doesn’t bowl over somebody so easily like Pnce de Leon.

I love Canelo. Don’t get me wrong. But if he thinks he’s going to tip toe around Kermit for 5 rounds and knock him out like he did to Gomez, he’s going to be sorry. Kermit is a solid boxer. He will go the distance, and if Canelo gives up the first half of the fight because he gets cocky, he’s going to lose a decision tonight.

Alvarez vs Cintron Round 1
Cintron looks soft in the midsection.
First minute is feeling out. Alvarez throws a left hook, totally blocked. Papa and Jones both call it like it wasn’t blocked. Right to the body from Canelo. Kermit tentative, jabbing from the outside a little bit. Left hook, right hand combo pushes Cintron back. Alvarez blocking shots from Cintron. Neither guy exactly pushing the pace here.
Alvarez 10-9

Cintron just tagged Canelo with a left. HBO didn’t see the need to mention it.

Alvarez vs Cintron Round 2
Lots of twitching. Lots of Kermit poking his arms out so that they end up eight inches short. Lots of Alvarez not even doing that. Alvarez looking to time Cintron when he opens up even a little now. Alvarez to the body. Cintron staying cool so far, but we’ll see. And when Canelo throws, it’s in combination. Nice left hook from Cintron!
A minute to go in a winnable round for either. Alvarez throws a combo. Little right hand from Cintron lands clean.
Not exactly a thriller.
Cintron 10-9

Alvarez vs Cintron Round 3
Alvarez catches Cintron throwing. They’re gradually opening up on offense, both of them. Alvarez coming forward now. Uppercuts thrown, they miss from Canelo. There’s a left hook that lands. Cintron starting to duck down and accept getting hit. There are little ticks to Cintron that you can just see coming. And I think he’s starting to fold.
Alvarez leading the action, Cintron backing away and trying to avoid contact. Not throwing much back that is meaningful. He has no confidence anymore. That or it’s an indifference. It’s starting to look like the Smith fight.
Alvarez 10-9

Alvarez vs Cintron Round 4
Alvarez picking up steam, landing in combination. Cintron just looks tired and worn out. Left hooks to the body really starting to rip Cintron. That’s trouble for him. Alvarez backs him down with another shot. Now Alvarez is starting to really physically dominate him. Cintron just flicking jabs and bending over. Cintron down to a knee on a couple of rights to the head. He’s on unsteady feet.
But he’ll continue. Alvarez just CHARGES into him and catches him with a left hook. Cintron slips. Cintron looks totally defeated. Left hooks from Alvarez, Cintron falls into the ropes and he’s in a bd way. They might want to stop this at the bell.

Alvarez vs Cintron Round 5
Cintron coming out and throwing shots now and he pops Alvarez with a left hook, but Canelo eggs him on. Cintron desperate and winging shots. Alvarez taking them well. Cintron looks bad. Left hook and a right, and now Cintron pops Alvarez back!
Hey, look at this. Kermit’s gutting it out, perhaps against all logic.
Cintron tired now – arms are dropping. Alvarez with a body shot again. Right hand from Canelo. Left hook, right hand Canelo. BIG right from Canelo, and the referee stops it. I think it’s a good stoppage.

Nice win for Canelo but he still needs to shorten up that hook. His defense looked better to me as well. I was very impressed with the power of his right hand shots. He is very heavy handed.
Cintron was totally shot after taking those body punches. Something was very strange about him tonight. After the third round, he had no idea where he was. I did not like the way he looked in there. Scary.
39-0-1. The Canelo hype/machine/steamroller—or whatever it is—moves forward and a fight with Chavez Junior down the road becomes even more likely. However, a Cotto-Margo winner would make some real $$$$ sense as well. The options are broadening for both fighters and I think either one could square up nicely with Cotto or Margo at his juncture.

Shame they stopped it there, because Cintron was showing great heart in throwing back and trying to win despite being hurt, but I can’t really argue with the stoppage. he looked shaky, and was getting hit with everything.

I agree with those above that Cintron needs to retire before he gets hurt. He clearly doesn't have the heart for boxing anymore.

He showed heart in the sense that he fought on,
but he seems to have loss the … I don’t know … boxing will? His “edge” or any sense of swagger and confidence. That’s what I meant by heart in my original comment, though I wasn’t clear.
