Williams-Cintron Final Presser
Paul Williams:
“Right now, Cintron is my main focus. The guy right in front of me is always my main focus. I don’t think about any other possible fights. If I’m asked, I’ll talk about it, but otherwise my sole concentration is my next fight.
“But, you know, my thing is I’ll fight anybody if the money is right.
“Saturday is going to be a real fight between two hungry guys doing their best to get their hand raised at the end.
“I hated training camp, getting up at 4 a.m. and working as hard as I did. But that means it was a great camp and I am in tremendous condition. I’m looking forward to making the most of my opportunity on Saturday and making Cintron pay for all the hours and hours I put in during camp.’’
Kermit Cintron:
“This fight has been in the works since 2006 when he was WBO champion and I was IBF champion. We were supposed to fight a unification fight back then. There’ve been talks three or four times since, but the time wasn’t right.
“Now, for me, the timing is perfect and I am very confident. You can call Williams a “feared” fighter, or whatever, but he’s just another fighter for me
“This will be an interesting fight because we’ve both overcome some obstacles to get here. Style-wise, it could be the Fight of the Year.
“I had a perfect training camp with no complaints. I am 100 percent physically and mentally and feel that — at the age of 30 — I am in my prime.
“Williams has two inches in height on me but I’ve sparred with taller guys in the gym and don’t expect it to be a problem.
“If I do my thing and be myself, use my skills and stick to the game plan, I’ll win it on Saturday.’’

I just don't see Cintron having the ability to punch much in between Williams' non stop barrage. Include in that, that Cintron's power hasn't shown it's face at all at 154lbs I think this turns out to be a bad night for him and I don't see him having many decent moments in it if any at all.
Who knows I've been wrong before though ..

.. and someone needs to put up Poon's fight and the Oquendo/Mormeck fight. Staying away from spoilers is rough business.
EDIT: Looks like Poon's fight was moved back to 05/20 which is pretty cool I guess. Hopefully they air it in Japan even though it's in Thailand since he's fighting Kimura. The Thai broadcasts are usually pretty shitty quality.
