20.06 - Undefeated knockout artist Kermit "The Killer" Cintron, 19-0, 18 KOs, has himself a ten rounds date with Mazatlan, Sinaloa's Jesus Valverde, 20-9, 15 KOs, on July 18th, from DePaul Athletic Center in Chicago, Illinois.

The deal has now been confirmed by Main Event's promoter Carl Moretti as well as Valverde's camp, and the bout will be the main event on TELEFUTURA's broadcast that evening.

Kermit's last outing, aired in the final show of the successful NBC's Saturday afternoon series; it reaffirmed his reputation as a big puncher as he was able to dispose of Luis Rosado, who came into the fight with a respectable 29-5, 20 KOs record, in the opening stanza.
