Mark Suarez (25-2, 13 KOs) is telling the world that Kermit Cintron (26-1, 24 KOs) made the biggest mistake of his career when he signed the contract to fight him on Saturday night at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Fla. The two fighters will battle for the vacant IBF welterweight title.
Suarez was quoted in The Intelligencer , as stating that Cintron's time in the sun will come to an end once they step in the ring to get it on. He vows to finish the job that Antonio Margarito started when he knocked Cintron out in 2005.
“I've read where Cintron is saying he's fought bigger and tougher guys than me,” Suarez said. “No he hasn't. He's never fought me. There's no way he can be ready for a guy like me. It's over for him. He's done. He's been done since Margarito beat him, but now I'm going to finish him for good and end his career.”
Emanuel Steward, the new trainer of Cintron, feels that fight is a toss-up that could go either way, and that's how he likes it.
“Cintron is a good puncher and natural athlete,” Steward told the Detroit Free-Press. “The fight is a toss-up. They're both good boxers and are very physical. These are the kind of fights I liked to be involved with.”
