Two welterweight titles will be up for grabs, April 12 in Atlantic City, N.J.(AP Images)

Saturday, April 12 in Atlantic City, N.J., a pair of welterweight titles will be on the line when two champions defend their belts.

A +225 underdog in the Bodog Sportsbook, IBF champion Kermit Cintron (29-1, 26 KO's) will fight Antonio Margarito (41-5, 25 KO's) for the second time in his career.

Margarito beat Cintron by fifth-round KO in April of 2005 and is a -285 favorite to win again. Cintron says he lost their first fight due to a hand injury and problems with his trainer.

A second welterweight title match will co-headline the card as WBA champ Miguel Cotto (31-0, 25 KO's) faces reality-show star Alfonso Gomez (18-3-2, 8 KOs).

Gomez fought on The Contender and ended up ranked third out of 16 fighters. He has since beaten Arturo Gatti (49-9, 31 KOs) and Ben Tackie (29-9. 17 KOs) to earn a title shot.

Cotto is currently the -1,500 favorite to win in the Bodog Sportsbook, while Gomez is a +800 underdog.
