    Great card. I've been waiting all year for HBO to put a card on like this. For the most part they have been showcasing fighters and showing mismatches. Not in this one though.

    You could say they maybe are showcasing Gatti here, but I think Gomez will give him a tough fight and in the end it will be one we remember and talk about for a while.

    I haven't seen Cintron fight, but heard good things about him and he is trained by Emanuel Steward now. Mattysse was worked over by Williams, but like scap said didn't have to much of a gameplan. Maybe against Cintron he will, but if he doesn't it might end up like the Williams fight.

    Then the main event Margarito vs Williams. This is a fight many of us have been waiting for. IMO I feel Margarito is a littel overrated and Williams should win this fight. If William uses his length I feel he should win, but I've heard in articles that he wants to mix it up inside. I know thats his style, but I think against Margarito that wouldn't be too good of an idea. Margarito is tough and packs a punch and being inside too much could cost Williams. In the end I will predict a SD for Williams in a action packed fight that will be an end to a great night.

      The Williams - margarito fight will be at a location on the West coast.

        Thanks for letting me know, I thought it's on the same card, I guess not. I've no interest for paying for Gatti/Gomez fight!

              I'm sorry to say this, but Gatti is going to take a beating in his last fight. If you see the two of them, Gomez is much bigger than Gatti is. Gomez has improved from the first time I've seen him, in fact he looked better than I'd ever seen him in his last fight. Gatti has a lot of personal problems that are working against him, and I pray for the best for him. Once the fight has been beaten out of you, it's gone forever.

                this is a card worth paying $50(unlike oscar/pbf)... two title fights... two potential knockdown, drag out wars(williams/toney and gatti/gomes)....

                  Fantastic card.
                  Props to HBO.
                  Also, props to Gomez for taking this fight and taking his shot like Peter did and Sergio did not.
                  Cintrion v Matthyese should be excellent.

                    Oscar PBF is the biggest fight in the last 10 years.
                    Not only is it worth the 50%, but ill bet you it will double the may 14th viewers.
