In my prediction, I had stated that this fight was a “fight fan” type of fight. From the beginning to the end of the fight, it did not disappoint. Also, as stated in my prediction, I stand corrected, and would like to congratulate Peter Quillin for finishing off his opponent. Peter Quillin is definitely solidifying himself as a “monster Middleweight!”
Round one was your typical “study round,” where both fighters studied what each other brought to the table. Round two was an entertaining and a good round for Quillin. Quillin began to pick his punches carefully, and it was evident who was the hardest hitter, and strongest fighter in the ring. Peter dropped Guerrero twice in that round. Luckily, for Guerrero’s case, this happen late enough in the round that the bell was able to save Guerrero from an early stoppage. Many people might have brought up the point that Quillin has trouble finishing his opponents off, my self included, but the truth of the matter was that Quillin was being smart, didn’t want to punch him self out, and was intelligently picking his shots.
Quillin was not able to finish Guerrero off early in the fight, but throughout the remaining rounds that the fight lasted, Quillin was the far superior fighter for this bout. There were moments where Guerrero was landing left and right hooks to Quillin’s head without even shaking him up. Quillin took everything that Guerrero had to offer in this fight, and by the 7th round, Quillin stopped Guerrero and got a TKO victory. Quillin defended his title, kept his 0 in tack, and has solidified himself as a legitimate Middleweight. Why all these allocates? Well, its simple, he is wining and wining in an impressive manner.
We have to understand that Guerrero came to this fight, not just for a payday, or by a given opportunity, but rather, Guerrero came to fight in a title fight that he rightfully earned. This is what boxing is about! Champions have to defend their titles against tough and well deserved opposition. For that, I tip my hat off to both fighters for giving it their all, and giving all boxing heads a great show!
So now, whats next for Peter Quillin? Does he get the winner of GGG vs. MacKlin, a pay-day fight against Chavez Jr., or does he get a shot at the current Middleweight king, Sergio Martinez? All of these options are great match ups, and fights that would catapult Quillin to boxing super stardom. As stated by Quillin, himself in an interview he gave me in the end of 2012, Quillin is ready and willing to take on any one, “Animal Status!”
