Williams/Cintron is a great matchup. If Cintron can work his way into Williams’ reach and lands some combos with his heavy hands, Williams could be in for a long night. However, if Williams keeps Cintron at bay with his jab and throw behind it, Cintron could be in for a long night. A great matchup nevertheless. The winner of that fight should get either the winner of the PBF/Hatton fight or Mosley/Cotto. Personally, I would like to see the winners of PBF/Hatton and Mosley/Cotto fight, then take on the winner of the Williams/Cintron fight so we can have another undisputed welterweight champion and unify all these belts out here.
