Kermit Cintron must be like Peter Manfredo on a comeback. Life must be boring, need money, or both…….
Actually a Cintron-Manfredo matchup would be a decent one.
Sorry….. What ? Super middleweight !!??!! Oooook
Canelos next opponent
Canelo already beat him if I’m not mistaking.
Glad to see Travis promote his first show. He was a good boxer, very likable person and his dad is one of the busiest in the country let alone tops in PA. Seeing Kermit back in action is another reason to attend the event.
Canelo already fought Cintron about 8 years ago.
Funny, they don’t mention who he lost his titles to. Margarito turned out to be a black eye to boxing. But focusing on cintron, not sure it’s going to get him anywhere. He was strong at 147, even at 154 he did t have his punching power. And his punching power is what made him good.
