Finally, an event on HBO where any (if not all) of three televised fights could easily become fight of the year candidates. In a rare split-event feed, the undercard will be shown live from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ and the main event will come from the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA.
To start off the show from Atlantic City, IBF welterweight champion Kermit Cintron (27-1, 25 KOs) from Reading, PA will defend his title against Walter Matthysse (26-1, 25 KOs) out of Trelew, Argentina.
The next bout and also the main event from the AC portion of the show, will see the return of Arturo Gatti (40-8, 31 KOs) as he takes on Contender star Alfonso Gomez (16-3-2, 7 KOs) from Whittier, CA.
The main event of the telecast will happen on the West Coast. WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito (34-4, 24 KOs) from Tijuana, Mexico, will meet undefeated Paul Williams (32-0, 24 KOs) of Augusta, GA in a highly anticipated grudge match. [details]
