Quillin-Zerafa & Bundrage-Charlo make weight

YouTube video

By Allan Fox: Former WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (31-0-1, 22 KOs) made the 163 pound catch-weight quite comfortably last Friday in coming in at 160lbs for his 10 round fight at super middleweight against Michael Zerafa (17-1, 9 KOs) on Saturday night on Premier Boxing Champions on NBC from the Foxwoods Resort, in Mashantucket, Connecticut.

The catch-weight was something that was put in the contract because it wasn’t clear if the 32-year-old Quillin would be able to make the 160lb weight limit, as he failed to make weight for his last fight in April against WBO middleweight champion Andy Lee.

Peter Quillin faces Michael Zerafa this Saturday, September 12th on PBC on NBC

Image: Peter Quillin faces Michael Zerafa this Saturday, September 12th on PBC on NBCBy Dan Ambrose: Former WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (31-0-1, 22 KOs) is taking an easy tune-up fight this Saturday night on September 12th against a fighter named Michael Zerafa (17-1, 9 KOs) in a 10 round bout on Premier Boxing Champions on NBC from the Foxwoods Resort, in Mashantucket, Connecticut.

The Quillin-Zerafa fight will take place at a catch-weight of 163 pounds. It’s unclear why the 32-year-old Quillin felt the need to take a tune-up fight after his 12 round draw against WBO middleweight champion Andy Lee last April. It would seem like the better move for Quillin would have been to continue to face quality opposition rather than throwing more of his career away with needless tune-up bouts or extended periods away from the sport.

Daniel Jacobs says he’ll fight Peter Quillin next

EW5G4572(Photo credit: Lucas Noonan/Premier Boxing Champions) By Dan Ambrose: WBA “regular’ middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) got a cheap win tonight with his opponent 24-year-old Sergio “Latin Snake” Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) suffering a freakish leg injury in the 2nd round of his fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The referee Gary Rosato stopped the fight and ruled it a 2nd round knockout despite Mora not having been touched. Rather than give Mora a rematch to clear up the controversy, Jacobs says he’ll be facing former WBO 160lb champion Peter Quillin next in a battle of Brooklyn fighters.
