Kermit Cintron Injured; Fight Against Williams Cancelled
Though Kermit Cintron is coming off a TKO victory over tough Jesse Feliciano last Saturday, he did suffer ligament damage to his right hand which will sideline him until the March at the earliest.
With that being said the fight he was supposed to have with Paul Williams is off, but that doesn't mean Williams won't be fighting. Word is that Williams' management have been looking at Zab Judah, Ricardo Mayorga, Luis Collazo and Carlos Quintana to fill the slot. We should be finding out soon being the fight was scheduled for February in a triple header on HBO.
Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez Rematch Set for March
The rematch to arguably the Fight of the Year in 2004 is finally set for March 15th pitting Manny Pacquiao & Juan Manuel Marquez for the top spot in the Lightweight Division.
In their first fight Marquez was knocked down 3 times in the 1st round only to come back are draw the fight.
Though I'm eager to see this fight part of me wishes it would've happened months after their 1st fight. The hype and the build to the fight now many be lack luster, but who knows. Boxing purists will be marking March 15th on their calendar for sure.
