David Peralta takes on Berlin Abreu for WBC Latino Welterweight title and Ronald Ellis battles Oscar Riojas

Plus undefeated Chordale Booker and Abraham Nova

Bethlehem, PA (December 7, 2016) - This Saturday night, former two-time world welterweight champion Kermit Cintron will take on Rosembeg Gomez in an eight-round bout for the WBF title.

The bout will serve as the co-feature of a card promoted by GH3 Promotions, KIng's Promotions and will streamed live on www.ringtv.com beginning at 9 PM ET.

In the 10-round main event, welterweight David Peralta (26-2-1, 14 KO's) takes on Berlin Abreu (13-1, 11 KO's) for the WBC Latino title.

"Everything went well in camp. Everything is on scheduled, and I am on weight. I sparred with Julian Williams and overall it was a good camp," said Cintron.

In Gomez, he is facing a fighter who is on a two-fight win streak, yet lost his only appearance in the United States, which ironically took place in the same building as he dropped a decision to undefeated Alex Martin on February 9th.

"I don't know much about him. I saw one tape, and he seems like a bully and tries to take you out of your game. He is nothing special, nothing that I haven't seen before. I am just going in there and do what I have worked on, and exploit his mistakes."

This will be Cintron's 4th fight in the last 7 months, and he is ready for a good performance, and move on to big opportunities in 2017.

"The game plan was to be built up again. From what (King's Promotions) Marshall Kauffman has said, 2017 will be a big year and I am looking forward to getting back to the top."

With a plethora of talent atop the welterweight division, Cintron sees many opportunities for that breakthrough win.

"Whatever fight makes sense for me is who i will fight. I will fight all of the top contenders."

At 37 years-old, Cintron still feels youthful and has the same energy level he did when he was a welterweight champion a decade again.

"My trainer Joe Pastore has been putting me through the same workouts that I always have done when I was a world champion. They are hard workouts and I don't feel 37. I don't feel any changes in my body. I feel good and fresh."

"I am just excited to be back. This Saturday I will finish the year strong. I am looking to seeing my friends and family and finish the year with a bang!"
