While for Kermit Cintron, his two current losses came from only one boxer, Antonio Margarito, who’s also fighting on May 8 in another boxing event in the Margarito vs Garcia.

Martinez already bounced back from his loss against Williams by winning the WBC and WBO World Middleweight title belts in the Pavlik vs Martinez recently. It’s possible for a Williams vs Martinez rematch if ever Paul wins this bout.
