Jeyvier Cintron vs. Koki Eto II - August 2, 2019

[Ruthless-RKO]

This past Monday in Tokyo, Shirai & Gushiken Sports Club of Tokyo announced in due form that WBO #2 ranked world super flyweight and former interim world champion fly of the WBA (World Association of Boxing), Koki Eto (24-4-1, 19 KOs will once again face WBO #5 Jeyvier "Perro" Cintron (10-1, 5KOs) on August 2 at Osceola Heritage Center, Kissimmee, Florida.

The fight will be a 10-round eliminator to become the mandatory challenger to the WBO super flyweight world champion, Kazuto Ioka.

The bout will be a tiebreaker for Eto and Cintron. Their first fight, which took place in May at the same Osceola Heritage Center in Kissimmee, Florida, was made a no-contest when they collided in an eliminator.

Initially, Eto was declared the winner by TKO at 2:37 of the very first round.

Shortly after spending two minutes boxing from the initial gong of the first round, the Puerto Rican boxer was knocked down surprisingly by what appeared to be a right hand to the face. Cintron tried to get up from the canvas with great difficulty and impatient with wobbly legs. Seeing the dangerous state of Cintron, Floridian referee Andrew Glenn stopped the fight to declare Eto the winner.

But, after 30 minutes, the fight was sanctioned as a no-contest after a video inspection by the Florida Boxing Commission to find out exactly what was going on in the ring at the very moment Cintron was knocked down.

After a review of the video, the verdict was overturned after it was shown that Cintron had been dropped as the result of a head clash and not a right hand. The right hand slightly grazed the face of Cintron.

Citron was clearly concussed after the headbutt, can he have recovered in 3 months?

Wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens again.

That would be bizzarre. KO's from a headbutt are really not that usual.

Or elbows.. mostly may cause a KD not a KO.

After the scale fail ahead of last weekend's Telemundo show in Mexico City, promoter Felix Zabala, Jr. breathed a sigh of relief this time around.

"If we had to go through this two weeks in a row..." Zabala Jr. quipped to BS.com as laughter disrupted the rest of his thought.

Fortunately, all boxers did their job at the scale this time around, as all made weight for the Telemundo summer season finale which takes place at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Fla (Friday, Telemundo, 11:35pm ET).

Headlining the show, unbeaten super lightweight prospect Yomar Alamo (16-0, 12KOs) takes on late replacement Salvador Briceño in a scheduled 10-round super lightweight bout.

Both came just under the 140-pound limit. Caugas, P.R. native Alamo checked in at 139.8 pounds while Mexico's Briceño tipped the scales at a ready 139.6 pounds.

Briceño enters as a late replacement for Miguel Angel Martinez, who was bumped up a week to salvage last Friday's Telemundo headliner. Martinez replaced Edson Ramirez, who was a full division over the welterweight limit for the scheduled 10-round main event versus Mauricio Pintor.

No such drama existed this time around.

"Thank goodness," Zabala Jr. commented. "This is such a great show and I'm so glad we now get to end the summer season with a bang."

Accentuating the card is the evening's chief support, a super flyweight rematch between unbeaten Jeyvier Cintron and Japan's Koki Eto. As was the case with the main event, both participants came in under the contracted limit (115 pounds); Cintron weighed 114.6 pounds, while Eto—a former title challenger—weighed 114.8 pounds.

The two run it back barely 10 weeks after their brief first encounter, which took place in this very venue and ended in controversy. Eto was ruled to have won the ESPN+-streamed bout by 1st round knockout, only for replays to reveal a headbutt initiated Cintron's eventual trip to the canvas.

The bout was reviewed on the spot by both camps as well as the Florida boxing commission and the World Boxing Organization (WBO), whose regional title was at stake and is once again for the the rematch. It was agreed by all that the right call was to change the bout to a No-Contest and to do it all over again.

Awaiting the winner will be a mandatory title shot versus reigning WBO 115-pound—and overall four-division—titlist Kazuto Ioka.
