"I am excited to finally sign with a promoter," said Cintron. " I have had some offers but this is more exciting. This is the best thing for me in my career because Marshall trained and managed me. He knows me personally and he knows what I need in my career and I think its a great match. I am focusing on staying busy and getting another crack at a title, and I know Marshall will do the job in getting me the right fights and I will get that title shot."

With his wrestling back ground, Cintron always should have tried MMA. He's done in boxing by the looks of his recent form.

Who cares?? Isn't this guy done? Obviously he was one of the most overrated fighters ever, simply because he was with Stewart people thought he would amount to something but he panned out into nothing special to talk about.

I remember that bogus draw gifted to him against Sergio Martinez in America. Cintron was knocked down so badly in that fight that he thought he had been elbowed or butted. He should have been counted out but was allowed to continue for a gift draw.

Never knew that he attempted it. Did he have an actual pro fight?
