Cintron 146.5 lbs - Margarito 146.5 lbs
WBA Welterweight Champion Miguel Cotto weighed in at 146.5 lbs for his title defense against former Contender star Alfonso Gomez who weighed in at 147 lbs. For the undercard, IBF Welterweight Champion Kermit Cintron weighed in at 146.5 lbs while former WBO Welterweight Champion Margarito weighed in at 146.5 as well. A little bit of pre fight hype started when Kermit Cintron looked at Margarito and drew his hand across his own throat as a threat to his former conqueror. Margarito returned the favor by rubbing his eyes acting as if he was crying, a clear jab at Kermit for crying after their previous fight.
