HBO to air triple-header on July 14th

Cintron, Gatti and Margarito bouts to be shown

Boxingtalk has learned that HBO has big plans for its July 14, 2007 telecast. HBO is planning an all-welterweight triple header with bouts to be staged at two separate locations. The telecast will start from Atlantic City, where Kermit Cintron will defend his IBF 147-pound title against Walter D. Matthysse. A bout between New Jersey hero Arturo Gatti and Contender alumnus Alfonso Gomez will be up next, and then HBO will switch its telecast from Atlantic City to a location that has not been finalized yet. From that location, HBO will air Antonio Margarito defending the WBO version of the 147-pound title against Paul Williams.
