MASHANTUCKET, CT (September 12, 2015) – Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (32-0-1, 22 KOs) knocked out Michael Zerafa (17-2, 9 KOs) in the fifth round on Saturday afternoon from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut on Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on NBC.

Quillin beats Zerafa; Charlo obliterates Bundrage
(Photo credit: Suzanne Teresa/Premier Boxing Champions) By Jim Dower: Former WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin (32-0-1, 23 KOs) made easy work of his overmatchd opponent Michael Zerafa (17-2, 9 KOs) in stopping him in a 5th round knockout on Saturday afternoon on Premier Boxing Champions on NBC from the Foxwoods Resort, Mashantucket, in Connecticut, USA. Quillin, 32, now will be fighting next for a world title against WBA “regular” middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs in December.
According to the Premier Boxing Champions analysts, Quillin rehydrated all the way to 182 pounds after weighing in at 160 pounds on Friday. That’s a 22 pound gain of water weight. Quillin needs to seriously think about moving up to super middleweight. It was hardly fair for Zerafa to be fighting someone as big as Quillin.
Quillin-Zerafa & Bundrage-Charlo make weight
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.
Carlos Molina vs. Jermall Charlo added to Canelo-Angulo PPV undercard
By Dan Ambrose: There’s been a change to the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Alfredo Angulo undercard on Showtime pay-per-view on March 8th. The Jorge Linares vs. Nihito Arakawa fight won’t be on the PPV portion of the broadcast, according to Dan Rafael.
The fight will now be on regular Showtime before the PPV portion of the broadcast starts. In place of the Linares-Arakawa fight, Golden Boy has added the Carlos Molina (22-5-2, 6 KO’s) vs. Jermall Charlo (17-0, 13 KO’s) to the PPV section of the card.
