In a rematch of a 2005 fight, Antonio Margarito and Cintron stepped into the ring again Saturday night looking for a much needed victory. Former title holder, Antonio Margarito, lost his championship belt when he lost by decision to Paul Williams. Following that loss, in which he started slowly and barely lost a decision, Margarito vowed to never start a fight slowly again. Kermit Cintron, another title holder, is known as a brutal power puncher; however, his boxing resume was lacking of a big name fighter. With a victory over Cintron, Maragarito would once again be a title holder. With a victory over Margarito, Cintron would finally have a big notch on his belt and would also revenge his only loss in his career.
Saturday night Maragarito came out victorious, primarily because he applied constant pressure and a viciously effective body attack. Mid-way through the 6th round, Margarito caught Cintron with a perfect body shot, right on the liver, that sent Cintron to the canvas hunched over in pain. The referee counted Cintron out and gave Margarito the victoy and sets up a mega-fight in the summer between himself and Miguel Cotto, who was also fighting Saturday.
