Roach: I’d welcome Quillin against Sergio Martinez
By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach says he’s interested in putting his unbeaten super middleweight contender Peter Quillin (24-0, 18 KO’s) against former World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (47-2-2, 26 KO’s) if Martinez was willing to take the fight. Quillin, ranked #5 by the IBF in the super middleweight division, is a fighter that Roach has been training for a while and who sees as becoming a champion in the near future.
Quillin defeats Brinkley, but looks badly flawed
By Dan Ambrose: Unbeaten super middleweight contender Peter Quillin (24-0, 18 KO’s) stopped contender Jesse Brinkley (35-7, 22 KO’s) in the 3rd round on Friday night in a scheduled 10 round bout at the Reno Events Center in Nevada. Brinkley, 27, one of the fighters trained by Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, California, was able to hurt the 34-year-old Brinkley with a big right hand in the 3rd round and then continue to pummel him with straight rights until referee Joe Cortez jumped in between them and halted the bout while Brinkley was taking punishment in the corner.

Quillin Defeats Miranda, Fails To Impress
By Michael Lieberman: Undefeated super middleweight prospect Peter Quillin (19-0, 14 KOs) had great difficulty beating hard-hitting Colombian Dionisio Miranda (19-2-2, 18 KOs) by a 10-round unanimous decision on Wednesday night at the Hard Rock Times Square, in New York City, New York. Quillin, 24, nicknamed “Kid Chocolate,” won most of the early rounds of the fight and appeared to be cruising along in the 7th, when the powerful Miranda (no relations to the knockout artist Edison Miranda, also a Colombian) hurt Quillin with a powerful left-right combination that sent Quillin, now badly stunned, retreating to the ropes where Miranda unloaded on Quillin with 14 consecutive unanswered punches.
However, Miranda soon punched himself out, which allowed a badly shaken Quillin to survive the round. Quillin would recover well in the 8th, and fight effectively in the remaining 9th and 10th rounds of the fight. The final judges’ scores were 97-92, 97-92 and 97-93.
Quillin & Witherspoon Both Win In Impressive Fashion
By Robert Cavender: Undefeated middleweight prospect Peter Quillin (18-0, 14 KOs) won a lopsided 10-round unanimous decision over three-time middleweight championship challenger Antwun Echols (31-8-4, 27 KOs) at the Hammerstein Ballrom, in New York City, New York, on Wednesday night. The final judges’ scores were 99-91, 98-92 and 98-91, all for Quillin. In an earlier bout, undefeated heavyweight prospect Chazz Witherspoon (23-0, 15 KOs), the 2nd cousin of former heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon, defeated journeyman fighter Domonic Jenkins (13-8-1, 6 KOs) by a 10-round unanimous decision.
Quillin, 24, used his superior power and size to dominate the smaller, less skilled Echols in the process of pounding out a 10-round decision. In fact, Quillin dominated Echols with ease, making him seem like a much smaller and weaker puncher in the process. It was unusual seeing Echols in with a fighter with more power than him, and the effect it had on him was to pretty much shut down his offense for most of the bout. Indeed, only in rare situations did Echols reveal his power and by even then it was late in the fight when he was well behind in the scoring.
Quillin vs. Brown
Undefeated middleweight prospect Peter Quillin (16-0, 13 KOs will be fighting tomorrow night against Thomas Brown (11-3-1, 7 KOs) on the undercard of Wladimir Klitschko vs. Sultan Ibragimov at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Quillin, 24, will be taking a second seat to middleweight challenger John Duddy, who will also be fighting on the card against what will likely be an overmatched Walid Smichet. Also making their appearance will be other middleweight prospect, Joe Green, who together with Quillin make up arguably the best middleweight pair in America.
