By Scott Gilfoid: WBO middleweight champion Andy Lee (34-2, 24 KOs) will be making his toughest fight in quite some time when he defends his WBO strap this Saturday night against the speedy fast and very powerful unbeaten Peter Quillin (31-0, 22 KOs) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Lee has a tough task ahead of him against Quillin because the American fighter can both slug and box. He’s equally talented in both areas, so he can kind of pick and choose how he wants to deal with the 6’2” Lee.
Lee, 30, says he’d like to defend his title three times successfully and then retire from boxing as one of the great ones. Unfortunately if Lee only defends his WBO title three times, he’s hardly going to be remembered as a great one. Beating Quillin definitely won’t be a big enough win to make Lee great.
By Scott Gilfoid: Making his first defense of his WBO middleweight title, Andy Lee (34-2, 24 KOs) says he’ll be coming fast out of the blocks this Saturday night on April 11th in his title defense against former WBO 160 pound champion Peter Quillin (31-0, 22 KOs) on NBC on Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. 
By Scott Gilfoid: After two close calls in his last two fights, WBO middleweight title holder Andy Lee (34-2, 24 KOs) will be defending his WBO title for the first time next month against former WBO champ Peter Quillin (31-0, 22 KOs) on NBC on the Premier Boxing Champions at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. 
By Olly Campbell: In almost exactly one months time on April 11th, live from the Barclay Centre in New York, freshly crowned WBO middleweight champion “Irish” Andy Lee (34-2, 24ko) will make the first defence of his title against home town fighter “Kid Chocolate”, Peter Quillin, (31-0, 22ko) who himself is hoping to regain the very same 160lb belt that he recently vacated.
By Jon Ward: “Hey Kid Chocolate, how does it feel to be the best middleweight on the planet?” tweeted Oscar De La Hoya (Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin’s promoter) in July of 2013. Gennady Golovkin, the WBA champion had just moved to 27-0 with a display of body punching that nearly broke challenger Matthew Macklin in half and Sergio Martinez, still undefeated at middleweight then was universally recognized as the real 160lb champion at that time. 
By Dan Ambrose: ESPN commentator Teddy Atlas went on a long rant last Friday night in talking about WBA Super World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s recent 11th round stoppage win over an overmatched Martin Murray (29-2-1, 12 KOs) in their fight in Monte Carlo last week in their fight on February 21st.

By Dan Ambrose: It’s now official now that Danny Garcia (29-0, 17 KOs) will be facing Lamont Peterson (33-2-1, 17 KOs) on April 11th in a catch-weight fight at 143 pounds in the “Premier Boxing Championship” series on NBC at 8:30 p.m E/T at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. 
By Scott Gilfoid: #1 WBO middleweight contender Billy Joe Saunders (21-0, 11 KOs) passed up a fight against Hassan N’Dam in what would have been a battle for the vacant IBF 160 pound title. Instead of taking that fight, Saunders wants to face the winner of the April 11th bout between WBO middleweight champion Andy Lee and former WBO champion Peter Quillin.
