Unbeaten two-time Olympian, Puerto Rican southpaw Jeyvier Cintron (11-0, 5 KOs) said, “I’ll take the champion Kazuto Ioka’s Cinturon (championship belt).” Tall and swift-moving southpaw footworker Cintron participated in a public workout along with his trainer, ex-champ Ivan Calderon, at Watanabe Gym today. Jeyvier, six years his junior at 24, said, “I respect four-class champion Ioka’s career, but it will be me that will dethrone him and bring back the belt to our country. I have a very good condition, and my confidence in victory is more than 100 percent.”

Iokas last fight seemed pretty good to me. Although this time hes up against the naturally bigger man. Upset could be coming.
