Golovkin wants Quillin, Sturm or Geale in 2013

by

golovkin200By Dan Ambrose: WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (25-0, 22 KO’s) is hoping he can get one of the champions to face him this year, and he’s got several fighters on his list that he’d like to take on in the near future if they’re game.

Golovkin says he’d be interested in fighting former WBA Super World middleweight champion Felix Sturm, IBF champ Daniel Geale or WBO champion Peter Quillin. Golovin is scheduled for a tune-up bout against Nobuhiro Ishida (24-8-2, 9 KO’s) on March 30th, in Monaco, but after that Golovkin is free, and he’s be willing to fight Sturm, Geale or Quillin if they’re looking for a big fight.

Quillin sees Golovkin as low priority opponent for him right now

by

golovin1By Dan Ambrose: WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s) sees WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (25-0, 22 KO’s) as just another one of the normal middleweight champions, and he doesn’t rank him as a high priority in terms of the fighters that he wants to take on.

Quillin says he prefers facing IBF champ Daniel Geale and WBC champ Sergio Martinez before he faces someone like Golovkin, according to fighthype.com. Quillin says he does want to fight Golovkin at some point but only after he’s made a name for himself by getting a few more fights under his before he faces him.

What’s really interesting is that Quillin sees himself as a well-known fighter in the United States, at least more so than Golovkin. Quillin believes his name has already been established despite the fact that he’s still pretty much an undercard fighter and not a main event guys.

Quillin vs. Guerrero: Peter looking to shine on Garcia-Judah card

by

quillin665By Eric Thomas: WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s) will be looking to put in a solid performance against #5 WBC, #14 WBO Fernando Guerrero (25-1, 19 KO’s) on the undercard of the Danny Garcia – Zab Judah fight on February 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Quillin, 29, won the WBO middleweight title in his last fight against WBO champion Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam last October by a 12 round decision. Quillin showed some positives in that fight in terms of his huge power as he was able to knock N’Dam down six times in the fight. Each time N’Dam would start making a comeback, Quillin would drop him. He had N’Dam down in the 4th, 6th and 12th rounds.

Quillin-Guerrero: Peter faces a good puncher on February 9th in Brooklyn, New York

by

quillin52By Eric Thomas: WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s) is facing a fairly tough test in his first defense of his title on February 9th against Fernando Guerrero (5-1, 19 KO’s) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Guerrero, 26, presents a tough fight for the 29-year-old Quillin because Guerrero can really punch and he’s a dangerous fighter if you don’t have good defensive skills, and that just happens to be one of Quillin’s major flaws in his game.

Quillin won the World Boxing Organization title in his last fight against former champion Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam last October, Quillin had N’Dam down six times in the fight, but he took a lot of shots in the process of winning the fight.

Peter Quillin vs. Fernando Guerrero on February 9th in Brooklyn, New York

by

quillin33By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions has decided to match their fighter WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s) against #5 WBC Fernando Guerrero (25-1, 19 KO’s) on February 9th on the undercard of the Zab Judah vs. Danny Garcia fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Quiilin, 29, had been mentioned as facing former WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor, but that fight isn’t happening. Taylor-Quillin fight would have been a mismatch, and it’s a good thing that Golden Boy isn’t going with that, but Guerrero-Quillin is about the same.

Peter Quillin vs. Jermain Taylor on Garcia-Judah undercard on 1/19

Image: Peter Quillin vs. Jermain Taylor on Garcia-Judah undercard on 1/19By Dan Ambrose: Steve Kim is reporting on his twitter page that Golden Boy is setting up a card on January 19th headlined by WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (25-0, 16 KO’s) defending his titles against 34-year-old Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KO’s) at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York, USA. On the undercard will be former WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor (31-4-1, 19 KO’s) facing WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s).

What’s so interesting about this card is that both fights involve past their prime fighters taking on guys – Garcia and Quillin – in the prime of their career. I’m not so excited about either fight, although I’m not surprised that the fights are being made because Golden Boy has a couple of vulnerable champions in Garcia and Quillin. They’ve got to match them carefully because if they put them in with the wrong opponent then neither of these fighters will be champions.

Will Peter Quillin avoid Golovkin now?

Image: Will Peter Quillin avoid Golovkin now?By Allan Fox: Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s) did a great job of knocking down WBO middleweight champion Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam six times en route to winning a 12 round unanimous decision last Saturday night to capture his WBO 160 pound title. That was definitely a good first step for the 29-year-old Quillin in making a name for himself in the sport. But fans want more from him than that.

They want to see Quillin take on the biggest names and the best fighters at middleweight, and not look to avoid the top guys. One top guy that hardcore boxing fans badly want to see Quillin fight next is WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s).

Schaefer considering a Quillin vs. N’Dam rematch

Image: Schaefer considering a Quillin vs. N'Dam rematchBy Allan Fox: Richard Schaefer, the promoter for newly crowned WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s), is reportedly considering a rematch between Quillin and former WBO champion Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam (27-1, 17 KO’s) after Quillin defeated the 28-year-old N’Dam in an exciting 12 round unanimous decision fight last Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

N’Dam said he had a rematch clause signed for the fight. However, what hurts him in this case is that the World Boxing Organization doesn’t let their fighters give immediate rematches, so this could get in the way of N’Dam getting a badly wanted rematch.

Quillin vs. Golovkin: An excellent unification fight

by

Image: Quillin vs. Golovkin: An excellent unification fightBy Dan Ambrose: Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s) looked good in beating WBO middleweight champion Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam by a 12 round unanimous decision last Saturday night to claim the World Boxing Organization title. It’s now his and the question is what will Quillin do with the title. Given that there’s not a lot of exciting fights for him if he merely looks to defend the title against the top contenders the WBO has listed.

The best Quillin can hope for are fights against Martin Murray, Dmitriy Pirog, Marco Antonio Rubio, Jermain Taylor and Anthony Mundine. I don’t the interest from the boxing community would be fight for those fights. But what would be interesting is a unification bout between Quillin and WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s).

Quillin defeats N’Dam, captures WBO 160 lb title

Image: Quillin defeats N'Dam, captures WBO 160 lb titleBy Jim Dower: American Peter Quillin (28-0, 20 KO’s) defeated WBO middleweight champion Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam (27-1, 17 KOs) by an exciting 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night to capture N’Dam’s World Boxing Organization 160 pound title at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Quillin knocked N’Dam down six times in the fight, 2 times in the 4th, 2 times in the 6th and 2 times in the 12th to seal the victory. The final judges scores were 115-107, 115-107 and 115-107.

N’Dam fought well when he wasn’t getting knocked down and was actually outworking Quillin almost every round. Where N’Dam had a problem was that he didn’t have the power to hurt Quillin, otherwise this might have been a much different fight.
