Paul Williams VS Kermit Cintron: If You're Feelin' Froggy, Don't Do This. (GIF Spotlight)

In May of 2010, the indomitable Paul Williams took on Kermit Cintron. Both former major titlists at welterweight, they met at light middleweight on HBO. It was heating up to become a good fight when IT happened. The strangeness fell upon us, the audience, at home or in the crowd. A thing. Something. A strange something. It happened. What it is will never be understood, as a matter of pugilism, as a matter of medicine, as a matter of sheer physics, what happened that night will never be understood. Here it is:

And, that little leap, ladies and gentlemen, ended the contest in the fourth round. A technical decision was awarded to Paul Williams, and Kermit Cintron left a completely baffled crowd on a stretcher, in a neck brace. Some how. For some reason. There were once brothers. Their surname was Mario. Mario and Luigi Mario. The Mario brothers, some called them. I seem to recall when Mario Mario would put on a green frog suit, it enabled him to swim more efficiently and to jump farther than ever before. Kermit is the name of a famous frog. I'm just trying to connect the dots here. I've almost figured this event out. . .

Yeah, I give up. Regardless, Cintron was recently KO'd by Tyrone Brunson and he is scheduled to fight 8-1 Marquis Taylor on the thirteenth of this month. Taylor is listed as having never scored a knockout. Maybe he can study this GIF to see how to otherwise incapacitate Cintron. But he'll have to break the laws of physics to make this happen again. Watch this space.
