A native of Carolina , Puerto Rico, Kermit ‘The Killer’ Cintron (26-1, 24 KOs ) made a huge splash on the boxing scene in 2001 when he stopped Said Ouali in five rounds on Showtime. After that introduction to fight fans worldwide, Cintron stopped the likes on Ian McKillop, Teddy Reid, and Elio Ortiz en route to a title shot against WBO champion Antonio Margarito in 2005. Cintron fell short in his first title effort, but with new trainer Emanuel Steward in his corner and two subsequent TKO wins (including a stirring instant classic over David Estrada), Cintron is ready to make amends in his second shot at world championship gold.
One of boxing’s most underrated warriors, Mark Suarez (25-2, 13 KOs ) has quietly honed his craft since his pro debut in 1997. A native of Riverside , California , ‘Poison’ has won seven fights in a row, all by knockout, and has rightfully gained a reputation as a fearsome puncher who always looks to bring the fight to his opponents. In his last bout, on January 7, Suarez made a jaded New York crowd sit up and take notice as he blasted out previously unbeaten James ‘Spider’ Webb in just 44 seconds to earn a shot at the vacant IBF crown.
In addition to the explosive showdown between Cintron and Suarez, viewers will also be treated to a ten round super flyweight bout featuring former junior flyweight and flyweight world champion Mauricio Pastrana (32-7-2, 20 KOs) and a six round middleweight bout headlined by unbeaten Aaron Pryor Jr. (6-0, 4 KOs), the son of the legendary Hall of Famer.
