Paul Williams vs Kermit Cintron will be fighting each other this weekend at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. No official titles are at stake and it may not a big money fight. However for Williams a far more important prize is at stake - a possible match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Afterall this will be his best opportunity to do so since the replay of Mayweather vs. Mosley is on the same night.
