Former junior welterweight champ Lovemore Ndou plans to bang it out when he moves up in weight to challenge Kermit Cintron on November 15 in Nashville. The fight takes place on the undercard to Jermain Taylor vs. Jeff Lacy. The winner of Cintron-Ndou will land the number-two position Ndou returns from a twelve-round decision loss to Paulie Malignaggi. Cintron is coming back from a sixth-round knockout loss to Antonio Margarito.
Ndou has a good chin, but many don't see it holding up against one the hardest punching welterweights in the division. Cintron has knocked out 27 out of his 28 beaten foes. He says that his chances to win are good because Cintron will stay right in front of him and not move around as much as Malignaggi.
“He is a big puncher which will make our fight interesting because he won’t run around the ring like Malignaggi. This fight is important to me and the people of South Africa where my relatives still live,” Ndou told The Dispatch.
Ndou is a serious underdog to win. The 37-year-old knows that Cintron may be his final chance to get a big win for a title shot position.
