Professional career
On July 14, 2007, Kermit Cintrón was dominant in his first title defense, knocking down the Argentine Matthysse three times on his way to a knockout victory twenty-nine seconds into the second round.[2] Prior to this match, Matthysse had never been knocked down by any opponent, although he had suffered a tenth-round technical knockout loss in May 2006 at the hands of Paul Williams (the Cintrón-Matthysse bout was the main undercard fight of a WBO title bout between challenger Williams and incumbent Antonio Margarito).
