This will be a good nite of boxing, period.
The first bout will have Kermit Cintron(27-1, 25 KOs in his 1st defense of his title against Walter Matthyesse(26-1, 25 KOs). Cintron is now trained by Manny Steward so it will be interesting to see if he boxes a bit more. The way these two guys throw it, this one's gonna end up with someone going down for the count. And it won't be Cintron..
In the second fight, Arturo Gatti (40-8, 31 KOs) takes on Alfonso Gomez (16-3, 7 KOs) of The Contender fame. Gatti hasn't fought in a year, since getting rolled by Baldomir, plus as everyone knows, the dude is old and has been in war after war. That said, Gomez does have some talent and I think he will fare pretty well for the first 6 rounds. But after that, Gatti will get the best of him, paving the way for a possible future fight with JC Chavez Jr.
In the last fight, Antonio Margarito(34-4, 24 KOs) defends his title against Paul Williams(32-0, 24 KOs). This has the potential to be a damn good fight. Williams is the bigger and faster of the two. And he's a southpaw. Margarito will have to find a way to get inside those long arms and use his power advantage. Williams has been fast-tracked to this point against some opponents that are basically club fighters. This Saturday, we'll see how good of chin this guy's got. I'm guessing not a good enough one on this night. Margarito TKO 8.
