Was Kermit Cintron's Ring Exit Accidental Or Intentional? (HD Video)

[BoxCleva]

In the recent fight with Paul Williams, do you believe Kermit Cintron was forced out of the ring accidentally by momentum and inertia or did he intentionally dive out of the ring by his own choice?

Here's the round 4 clip and slo-mo replay from HBO's official YouTube page >

clearly an accident, he was already highly off balance when he took that 2nd step, he was even leaning a bit forward before fully taking that 2nd step. honestly Paul ain't little if he swings you like that you gonna move and possibly lose balance, it clearly happened to Kermit. you know whats funny, Paul Williams Adviser Al Haymon is in HBO's back pocket, this fight ends and lets say Kermit won, do you think they will be saying that HBO wont buy the rematch? NOPE they would sell that **** but since he won and had a hard time doing his adviser doesn't support a rematch and HBO doesn't buy the event, these men aren't ****** they making him out to be like the next Tommy Hearns you really think they want to risk losing the spot light on Williams over Cintron? Williams just says "yes" to everything his people tell him so I don't expect him to know anything nor do I suspect him of any foul play but his people? they some slick match making mother****ers..

was it an accident? my answer is yes, that's my opinion so ima stick with that but I also think it's bull**** that Kermit boxes his socks off for 3 rounds they give the majority of to Williams when he wasn't nearly as damaging to his opponent and then rejects talks of a rematch like nobody knows who and what Al Haymon is to HBO. the rematch of this fight made more sense then the first fight ever happening in the beginning because he we saw Cintron take a ****ty loss after a awesome performance and is being denied a rematch and to me that is foul especially when Kermit said he would do it at 154 or even 147 which is something no one else will want to do and that's face him at 147

Watching the replay over and over, I can clearly see that he didn't even hit his head that hard at all. Doesn't matter if he accidentally or purposely dove out the ring. Fact is, he over exaggerated the extent of how hurt he was, if hurt at all. Just watch the video.

Woah, I never seen it from that angle. Just watched this video; actually Cintron's head didn't hit anything. There is no way he could have possibly gotten hurt from that.

remember Domo he doesn't have to hit his head to have the wind knocked out of him, that was his whol body crashing down front flip style with no balance or control, the impact of the fall would be enough to knock the wind out of him. and there was people telling him to remain still the whole time so he listened

Cintron did it on purpose. It seemed like he purposely jumped out of the ring and made no effort to stay in it. He knew exactly what he was doing, and thought he could pull a fast one and perhaps get a decision over Williams. Would of gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those meddling judges.

That was accidental, no doubt about it..

Whether it was accidental or not. I did not see him hit his hard so hard that he would be laying there like he got shot. It seems a little fishy there.

The question is where did he get all that momentum, at first I thought he might have tripped but it appears that he didn't. It almost looks like he ran past the ref, I believe those crushing left hands at the begining of the round was enough for Cintron to not want to engage in warfare at that level the whole 12 rounds. We can all agree to disagree and by no means am I calling Cintron a punk but he will have supporters and critics alike but that would have been a grueling pace and he already appeared to be winded. Just my perspective
