Margarito shows Cintron the other side of a KO - By Ric Solivan- Doghouseboxing.com Conference Call Transcript between the WBO Welterweight Champion Antonio Margarito and the Interim champion Kermit ''The Killer'' Cintron
Photo: German Villasenor. Live on ESPN Pay-Per-View Saturday April 23, 2005 from Ceasars Palace, Las Vegas NV.
Kermit Cintron background: Born in Puerto Rico, his mother died of breast cancer. His father sent Kermit and his two brothers to live with uncle Benjamin Serrano, former middleweight contender, in Warminster, PA. His father died five years later, which ended his dream of returning to Puerto Rico to be united with his father and friends. But he didnt become self-destructive. He used sports channel his energies. He joined his schools wrestling, football, track and baseball teams and excelled in wrestling. By the time he was a senior at William Tennant High School high school, he had earned full scholarship offers to Wisconsin University and Ohio State University. He declined both and instead attended Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster, PA, where he finished 10th at the NJCAA (National Junior College) Wrestling Championships. Still, despite his success on the wrestling mat, Cintron felt that something was missing. Uncle Benjamin Serrano, who fought world-ranked contenders like Frank "The Animal" Fletcher and Doug DeWitt in the 70s and 80s, taught Cintron to box while Cintron was in high school and brought him to the Warminster Police Station Gym to train. But it wasnt until the Cintron reached the age of 19 that boxing stepped to the forefront of his mind. Shortly after finishing his college freshman year, Cintron entered the amateur ranks and compiled a record of 24-4, 17 KOs. In October 2000 he turned pro.
Moretti: We are getting closer and closer to the April 23rd ESPN pay-per-view show. There is no questions that top to bottom this is a show everyone is looking forward to. And you look at the fight at the top between Margarito and Cintron and it has everything you want. The Mexican Puerto Rican rivalry continues two big punchers. Two guys with huge hearts and great chins. You add the outdoor arena at Caesars Palace and it should be a great evening of boxing.
Will you test Cintron early?
Margarito: If you have seen my fights, you know I dont back down from anyone and I will leave all my heart and everything that I have on the table. I am ready to give a great fight and the people at Caesars Palace will be the winners.
Cintron. Its going to be a great fight. Margarito is a great champion. He has good heart and he comes to fight. Come the 23rd of April, we are going to see a great fight.
What is next?
Cintron: I will still have to get through Margarito before I think of anything else. After that, Carl Moretti and Main Events will decide whatever is next. I just continue to win fights and everyone will get a chance to fight Kermit Cintron.
Are you eager to test his endurance in this fight? Margarito: Anything can happen in the ring. I would like to finish early so we could all go home, but if we cant, I will make some adjustments and show some things you havent seen before. You may see some things that you havent seen from me before.
What did you think about Margarito in his last fight?
Cintron: I walked away from that thinking that hes a great fighter and a great champion. Lujon came at him the first couple of rounds and Margarito adjusted. Margarito then began to take him apart. I walked away thinking that he was a great champion. I just have to train hard and be prepared. Hes number one in the welterweight division. Its no my opinion that counts, but I think of him having great heart. Every fight is different. He could bring a different style to my fight. He ended up taking Lujon out and you never know.
How is your hand?
Cintron: My hand is great. Ive been punching with it and sparring with it. Its just great being able to punch with my right hand the way I want to.
Your hand was infected and turned black, right?
Cintron: Exactly, yes. Any fighter would like to take a tune-up fight after a long layoff. We couldnt do it and we just want to fight he best. And thats what I want to do fight the best out there. In my opinion, Margarito is the best out there.
Cintron: Who is Floyd, man? Who is Floyd? I have a great chin and my chin has been tested when I fought Teddy Reed. If people still have questions about it, they can buy ringside tickets to the fight on April 23 and check it out for themselves. Regarding Mayweather hes going to be surprised himself. Gatti is a tough fighter and if Chop Chop Corley can hurt him youd be surprised. And Mayweather will be surprised.
Cintron: Ive been ready to step it up for a while. I stepped it up against Teddy Reed and Ill step it up against Margarito. And after I win against Margarito I will step it up even further. Shane Mosley or Zab Judah, I will be ready to fight whoever thinks they are the best. Just bring them on. I am a competitive guy. Ive been on the floor for who knows how long now. I know what it takes to win.
Margarito: I know about the great rivalry that exists between Mexico and Puerto Rico. The only Puerto Rican I have fought is Santos and you know how that went. All I know is that I have been training for this fight and Im ready for this fight and Im ready to give it my all.
Margarito: I have been looking forward to this fight. I know hes undefeated and I know hes hungry. I know he want to beat me but I want to win also. Ive been working very hard and I know how important it is for me to win this fight. I know there are a lot of good opportunities for the winner of this fight. So obviously I am preparing very well. I truly enjoy the challenge of fighting someone that no one else wants to fight.
Cintron: The layoff has made me hungrier, made me train harder and made me want to get back in the ring that much sooner. I want to fight so it has been a good thing for me.
Cintron: I have been using my jab a lot. I have been training very hard and when it comes down to the fight on April 23rd, you will see that Im using my jab more and boxing more. I will finally get to use both of my hands. Especially my right hand more than I have been able to.
Margarito: I think that styles make fights and the styles of my last few opponents I have not been able to adapt to very well, so I havent looked as well as I should have. There is no question that my style and Kermits style will match very well. I think it will be a better fight because of his style and the way I fight. I truly believe that in the gym is where you prepare and adapt and I believe that I will be very prepared for this fight.
Cintron: I have been doing lots of bag work and hitting the mitts. Ive been hitting a lot with both hands and hitting a lot with my right hand. My hand is in great shape. Come April 23rd I will be able to let go of my right hand the way I want to throw it.
Cintron: Definitely. It is for the world championship. A lot of people want to be in the position that I am at right now. This fight against Margarito will show where I stand and what I will do in the future. This fight is definitely very important to me.
Margarito: All fights are important, no doubt about it. This was is a little more important because of what it will mean for the winner. I think a lot of doors will open for the winner and it is a good fight for me at this time. Kermit is a great boxer and he is undefeated. For me to beat him would be a good thing and then I could take advantage of the opportunities that will happen.
Margarito: When you are in Mexico you want to come fight in the United States and make a name for yourself and I think thats how I began. I knew I had to win all of the fights that I had and they were all important moments of my life. As a boxer, it would lead me to the championship, which is what I wanted. I knew the fights were important because then the fans would follow my career. People that liked the way I fought.
Margarito: You are always learning, even if you are sparring or hitting the bag. You are always learning. Early on I didnt have the experience to show the people what I could really do. After time, the experience took over and thats why you see a different fighter today.
Margarito: I have had good sparring. Weve had guys that are bigger and stronger than my size and I have been able to take their punch.
Cintron: Two of my sparring partners are junior middleweight and one is a welterweight. So yes, I have been sparring with bigger guys.
Margarito: Like any fighter, you train and prepare for twelve rounds. But you would like the fight to end early. With him, a lot of people are talking about how strong he is and what a big puncher he is. But I have been fighting strong punchers my whole career and I have proved myself against them. I proved that I can take a punch and that I will be ready for him.
Cintron: I am up to the challenge. I believe that I have the heart and I just want to fight the better guys out there. Just because I dont have the experience doesnt mean that I am not going to win fights. I am learning every time. When you are watching fights, you can see that. I am getting better every time and I deserve to be where I am at. I worked hard for it.
Cintron: The more he stands there, the more damage he is going to get. You have to train hard and I have been preparing myself for this fight. When it comes to April 23rd, let the best man win.
Margarito:
Yes, of course. I know that he is a strong puncher. I know what I am up
against and Ive been up against undefeated guys before and I came
out OK. Margarito shows up in support of old friend Paez, as the latter opnes up his own boxing gym in Fresno.
Story and Photo : German Villasenor. 3-14-05- The former IBF Featherweight champion and WBU Superfeatherweight / long time IBF top five contender Jorge ''El Maromero'' Paez celebrated the grand opening of his own gym in Fresno California last Saturday afternoon. The WBO Welterweight champion Antonio Margarito, who opened up own camp for his clash on April 23rd vs the interim champion Kermit Cintron on the Main Events / ESPNPPV main event made the trip along with trained Javier Capetillo and a few friends to help Paez celebrate the grand opening. Both fighters posed for photos, signed posters, gloves and cards for hours before setting down at dusk to eat some of the barbeque which was free to all in the backyard of the gym. Paez hopes to bring the youngsters from around town and to keep them off the streets and gangs. The gym is located at 3974 E.

I want Mayorga! I want Spinks! I want Forrest! I even want Hopkins!-Margarito. 4-10-03 - There is nothing yet on the table for Antonio Maragarito as of now. Todd duBoef Exec. V.P. of Top Rank has mentioned that not only are the t.v. dates not there, but he also needs to tie some loose ends regarding Antonio Margarito. We all know that Ricardo Mayorga will most likely be fighting Vernon Forrest in July. Don King opted not to work with Top Rank to make a unification match between Margarito and Mayorga, all this due to greed and fear of losing his champion. Margarito has stated an interest in fighting the current IBF Welterweight Champion, Corey Spinks, but he is also under Don King. Margarito is getting anxious, he does not want to continue fighting fighters with the likes of Quiroz and Celaya or Baldomir because his purses will continue to be low. Margarito wants fame and fortune and he believes these types of fights will not get him there. Margarito has heard of Mayweather wanting to fight De La Hoya, well Margarito wants Mayweather to fight him. Margarito has stated, he would love to fight Mayweather and shut his big mouth. Why not fight me at 147lbs before thinking of fighting at 154lbs against De La Hoya. Everybody wants to fight the old man, why not fight me? Is it because I'm young and hungry? Or is it because you know you'll lose? Margarito wants everyone to know, he wants to fight the best out there. "I want De La Hoya! I want Vargas! I want Mayweather! I want Mayorga! I want Spinks! I want Forrest! I even want Hopkins! We can work together to resolve your excuses, but I won't be able to help if you are afraid of losing. A.M. WBO Champ Margarito

knocks all of the six heads out of Andrew Lewis in the second round after
a slow start.
Margarito thanked everyone for their support including his wife, and promised to stay a champion for a long time to come. Q
& A Margarito- Well you can see the punch, and who had it. We knew he was hungry in this fight and would come full steam ahead wanting to be champion again but we were very ready for this fight and we knew we would win. Boxingladiators- Lewis let his tongue go a lot before the fight. Did that throw you off in any way, affect you perhaps? Margarito- I have fought in the past with fighters who talked to much, well I like to talk with my fists in the ring. With actions. Boxingladiators- You do know you were behind the cards following in the first round, what do you think about that? Margarito- I just had to warm up to the task. ---------------------------- Margarito Shows No Mercy Against "Six Heads" Lewis Cover story from Boxing times.com Latin

Photo: German Villasenor LAS VEGAS, February 18, 2006- WBO World welterweight champion Antonio ''Tony'' Margarito (33-4, 24 KOs) needed all but 1:14 seconds into the first round to dispose of long time top ten contender, and the man who hounded the WBO champion for years into a title shot in the hard nosed, hard hitting Manuel ''Shotgun'' Gomez (28-11-2, 20KOs) in the main event of the TOP RANK promoted PPV which took place at the Aladdin Resort and Casino, soon to be Planet Hollywood Casino. Margarito made a strong statement that he is indeed THE world welterweight champion by stopping Gomez, a fighter in the vein of one Carlos Baldomir who handily defeated then, WBC/IBF/WBA Welterweight champion Zab Judah a few weeks ago. The long and lanky Margarito revved up the engines early in the round, winding up with his non-stop attack from all angles, sending Gomez stumbling unto the ropes, with a follow up attack which sending his opponent down to the canvas, looking as he would not make it up, long time referee decided he had seen enough, electing to stop the battering at 1:14 of the round. I would love to be the man to give Mayweather his first loss, said Margarito at the post presser after finding out that his promoter Bob Arum has made plans to get the Thomas and Mack Center on July 29th to host a superfight between Margarito and the winner of the April 8th fight between Judah vs Mayweather (which will have the IBF belt on the line)
A crowd of an announced 5,309 fans were also at hand to see the WBC Flyweight champion, ''The Hawaiian Punch'' Brian Viloria (19-0, 12 KOs) succesfully repel the former WBC Straweight champion Jose Antonio ''El Jaguar'' Aguirre (33-5-1, 20KOs) in a much too tougher than expected battle going the distance, with the filipino-hawaiian fighter getting the nod by 116-112 (twice) and 117-111, in a fight which seemed much more closer than the scores indicated.
Long time WBO Straweight champion Ivan ''Iron Boy'' Calderon (25-0, 5KOs) did as he was expected, as he easily schooled the agressive, but vastly ineffective, but tough former WBC Straweight counter part Isaac ''Tortas'' Bustos, who fell to 24-8-3, 13 KOs as the cards were read at the end of the one sided bout. (120-108 (twice) and 119-109. Chavez avenges lone blemish.
Martirosyan had previously scored a knockdown in the first frame, which busted De Oca's nose, which bled profusely thereafter. Welterweight Jesus Soto Karass (13-3-2, 10KOs) won a much too hard fight against a fighter who very game Fernando Mena (17-8-2, 15KOs) at the end of the scheduled eight round with scores of 78-74 (twice) and 77-75
Margarito
& "Moochie": The Expected and the Unexpected Margaritos Ready To Prove Hes The Best 02-1-06- WBO welterweight champ Antonio Margarito is going into his February 18 title defense an angry man, not so much at his challenger, Manuel Shotgun Gomez, but at recent comments made by Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. that the Tijuana native believes is dismissive of him and his ring accomplishments. De
La Hoya, who fights Ricardo Mayorga for the WBC 154-pound title on May
6, told Michael Hirsley of the Chicago Tribune that he plans to fight
for the final Im
disappointed that Oscar would not even mention my name, said Margarito,
who has held the WBO 147-pound Oscar,
if youre not sure of whos the best fighter out there, my managers
will be happy to buy you a front-row ticket to my Feb. 18 fight and youll
see for yourself. Dont think for a second that what Come
on Oscar, lets get it on for all the Mexican fight fans. Lets
do it for the Mexican fans that became yours when you beat Julio Cesar
Chavez. You Margarito, who sports a 32-4 (23) record and five defenses of his title, was also angered by recent comments made by Mayweather regarding a possible showdown between the two at 147 pounds. According
to some internet sources Mayweather claims that Margarito was offered
to fight him on April 8 immediately after Zab Judah lost to Carlos Baldomir
on Jan. 7, but the WBO champs management turned the fight down because
of the Feb. 18 bout. While its Mayweather
has also contradicted himself in other statements made to various boxing
websites, claiming that he was never offered a fight with Margarito Floyd, everybody who follows boxing knows who I am, Im the guy you are scared to fight, he said. And the only person who doesnt want to see us fight is you.

Report / photo-German Villasenor @ ringside. Margarito now (29-3-20 Ko's) looked strong and sharp as he disposed of Brantley in two rounds as the champion stalked Brantley for two rounds, landing strong combinations, once a proving left then a strong right hand at the start of the second round sending Brantley across the ring and upperbody through the ropes, already bloodied and without a mouthpiece on, the end was just a matter of time as Margarito followed up with a right to the face, a left, right and a crushing left uppercut which landed just below Brantley's neck, leaving Brantley crumpled in pain and his corner throwing in the towel to prevent their fighters from receiving further punishment.
The ref stops the bout at 2:37 of the second round.

Carlos González Margarito esta listo para probar que es el mejor! 02-1-06- El Campeon welter de la OMB Antonio Margarito estara entrando hacia su defensa de Febrero 18 enojado, no tanto hacia su oponente Manuel Shotgun Gomez, pero sobre comentarios hechos por Oscar De La Hoya y Floyd Mayweather Jr. que el residente de Tijuana cree que se le disminuye de sus logros sobre el ring. De La Hoya, quien peleara contra Ricardo Mayorgapor el titulo Superwelter de el CMB en Mayo 6le dijo a Michael Hirsley de el Chicago Tribune que ya planea su ultima pelea para Septiembre de este ano. El menciono a Mayweather y Winky Wright como posible oponentes diciendo que quiere ''a los mejores oponentes''. 'Estoy disolusionado con Oscar que ni siquiera menciono mi nombre,'' dijo Margarito, quien ha ostentado el titulo OMB de las 147 libras desde Marzo de el 2002. ''Gente que sabe de boxeo saben que soy el mejor wleter, Y que soy mas exitante que Mayweather y Wright. No hay desrespeto hacia ellos, pero Oscar quiere terminar su carrera de ese modo, deberia darle a sus siguientes ona buenisima pelea, que me pelee a mi, en ves de Mayweather / Wright. Oscar, si no estas seguro de quien es el mejor de quien es el mejor peleador, mis managers estan dispuestos ha comprarte un ticket de primera fila para que veas mi pelea de Feb. 18 para que veas por ti mismo. No pienses por un segundo que lo que le paso a [Zab] Judah contra [Carlos] Baldomir me va a pasar contra Gomez. Shotgun es un peleador muy peligroso, pero yo siempre estoy sumamente preparado para batallar los doce rounds encotra cualquier oponente. 'Estare listo para Gomez y listo para firmar el contrato y pelear entra de ti immediatamente despues de la pelea mia. ''Handale Oscar, vamos a hacerlo para todos los Mejicanos. Vamos a hacerlo para los fanaticos que hicistes despues de ganarle a Julio Cesar Chavez. Tu eras muy popular antes de pelearle a Chavez, pero no con tods los Mejicanos. Chavez te dio la oportunidad de pelearle a una leyenda y hacer tu nombre. Ahora lo hago yo con todo el respeto debibo a Y que me des la oportunidad, estoy dispuesto de subir a las 154 libras para hacerlo.''

de hablar con Top Rank, y finalizar ciertos detalles, Sergio Diaz Jr.

numero uno, o dos de el mundo entero (dependiendo a quien se le pregunta)

Gomez en la pelea estelar de el PPV /Top Rank prmovido show "Real
Warriors" el Sabado, Febrero 18th en el Aladdin Resort and Casino,
en Las Vegas, Nevada. ''Hemos estado trabajando duro para que Tony regrese rapido al ring, viendo como todos los boxeadores alrededor de el peso le rehusan - con Mosley enfrentando a Vargas, Mayorga y De La Hoya tambien pelearan, y Mayweather no quiere nada con Tony'', dice Diaz. "Pero manejamos de que ahora sea el estelar de Febrero 18.'' ''Ganarle a Gomez es imperativo,'' continua Diaz, ''Ya que Top Rank now ha informado que se a llegado a una arreglo con Don King para que Tony pelee por el resto de los titulo en una pelea o dos despues de Gomez.'' Con quien Margarito peleara por los titulos esta todavia en el aire, ya que Judah peleara encontra Carlos Baldomir en el Theatre at Madison Square Garden en Nueva York en Enero 7, 2006.

RANK PRESENTS Escopeta Gómez intensificó su preparación! CAMPEONATO MUNDIAL WELTER DE LA OMB México. Manuel Gómez intensificó su preparación para el combate que sostendrá contra el tijuanense Antonio Margarito por el campeonato welter de la OMB, el próximo 18 de febrero en Las Vegas, Nevada. "Escopeta" Gómez entrena en el gimnasio Romanza de esta capital con la ayuda en las sesiones de boxeo del ex campeón mundial Juan Manuel Márquez y Esaú Herrera, con el objetivo de llegar al cien por ciento a la contienda titular. "Margarito es un peleador que no tiene recursos, es torpe y no tiene variaciones en sus peleas, lo que aprovechará mi hermano para derrotarlo por nocaut o por puntos porque pondrá a prueba la quijada del monarca", dijo Mario, entrenador del "Escopeta". Manuel Gómez realiza las carreras matinales en El Ocotal por el rumbo de Cuajimalpa y los fines de semana en el Nevado de Toluca. El "Escopeta" y su equipo de trabajo terminarán la concentración el próximo 3 de febrero para trasladarse a Las Vegas y cumplir la agenda.Notimex Margarito

¡MOSLEY DICE NO A MARGARITO- Ricardo Jiménez Margarito ensena respaldo hacia su amigo Jorge Paez, el quien inauguro su nuevo gimnacio en Fresno.

El campeon welter de la OMB Antonio Margarito, quien ha empezado sus entrenamientos para su encuentro el proximo Abril 23 encontra de el boricua Kermit Cintron, y el cual sera la estelar de la noche presentada en el Caesar's Palace atraves de evento por pago / Main Events, hizo el viaje de Los Angeles a Fresno el pasado sabado con su entrenador y unos amigos para festejar con el ''Maromas'' Los dos boxeadores firmaros posters, tarjetas y el cual, al mismo de tomarse fotos con todos los presentes al barbeque en la yarda trasera de el gimnacio. Paez espera que la juventud de la area frecuenten el gimnacio para mantenerse lejos de las pandillas y de la calle. El gimnacio esta ubicado al 3974 E. Jensen Street, Fresno California, 93725 Margarito se quedara en el peso welter; defendera encontra Cintron. German Villasenor. 10-29-04- El campeon welter de OMB ha decidido junto con su equipo de regresar a las 147 libras y defender su titulo encontra el Puerto Riqueno Kermit Cintron, el cual avala la version interina del mismo titulo. Razones dadas son ya que el OMB decreto que lo mejor que se pudiera hacer al respecto de la queja puesta debido al fallo encontra de Margarito vs Daniel Santos en la revancha, seria que he hichiera una tercera pelea inmediata. Margarito, y su equipo esperaban un reverse, o por lo menos que aquella decision se cambiara al menos en un empate, lo cual podria habrir las puertas para Margarito de enfrentar al estadounidense Winky Wright, el cual es reconocido como el CAMPEON indiscutido de los super welters. Dado a que los estilos de Margarito Y Santos son muy incompatibles, y que Margarito no siente necesitar a Santos despues de todo (el campamento de Santos ha sido el que ha pedido pelear nuevamente encontra de Margarito) y estara listo ha enfrentar ha Cintron, con la espera de llegar a enfrentar qa Cory Spinks, quien ostenta los titulos WBC/WBA y IBF de los Welters. Otra opcion seria tener una pelea antes de enfrentar a Cintron, ya que Cintron se dice preferiria tomar una pelea antes de tener que encontrar al Campeon Margarito The fans speak out / los fanaticos hablan... Tienes
que volver "tony" y ganarle a D.santos, espere un chingo de
meses para verte pelear, espero que no te tardes tanto para volver a pelear
con el o alguien más talvez "cintron" y derrotar aquien
sea no importa donde. te ha tocado mala suerte con ese peleador otra vez
un cabezazo. -Humberto Hernandez. I
just wanted to write in and thank Antonio for the excellent performance
last night. The fans know who won the fight, Champ. Good luck, and I wish
you, your team, and your family well.
Cuantonio Margarito espero que te recuperes pronto del cabezazo que occurio con Santos. Espero que ganes la proxima pelea con el. Cuando va ser la revancha con el?No hagas la pelea en su patio hazla en los angeles. - Arturo Lopez.
