• Former welterweight titleholders Kermit Cintron and Carlos Quintana, both angling for major fights at either welterweight or junior middleweight, will stay busy in separate bouts Oct. 24 in their native Puerto Rico, promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com. "Both guys need to fight, and both guys are in good positions for bigger and better things," DiBella said, adding that the card will be televised in the United States on a delayed basis as part of his syndicated "Broadway Boxing" series. If Quintana wins, he has a tentative Dec. 3 fight on Versus against ex-junior middleweight titlist Verno Phillips.
