DiBella signs Kermit Cintron
New York promoter Lou DiBella has signed former welterweight champion Kermit “The Killer” Cintron to a promotional agreement.
“I am happy to work with Kermit,” said DiBella. “He is a tough, quick, aggressive fighter in the ring and a class act out of it. It’s a wide open welterweight division. Kermit is a devastating puncher and certainly has the ability to win another world title.”
Cintron is a former IBF welterweight champion with a record of 29-2 with 27 knockouts. Both of those losses, however, have come against Antonio Margarito. And while a third match against Margarito is not likely, Cintron could make for an interesting opponent for Miguel Cotto.
“Kermit is still a young man in the prime of his career, and losing to a fighter the caliber of Margarito is certainly no disgrace,” said DiBella. “Kermit is an intelligent athlete who knows exactly what he has to do to get to the top of the most talented division in boxing. We will help him get there.”
