| Quillin To Open Up Alexander-Bailey Card, Against Rubio?
|
|
By Ernest Gabion BoxingScene.com was advised that middleweight contender Peter Quillin (27-0, 20KOs) is likely to open up the Showtime broadcast on September 8th. One potential opponent mentioned in passing is Mexican veteran Marco Antonio Rubio (54-6-1, 47KOs), who got back to his winning ways on Saturday in Mexico with a seventh round stoppage of unbeaten Jorge Cota. Quillin comes off a lopsided ten round decision victory over Winky Wright, which took place on June 2. The televised main event will feature an IBF welterweight title fight between champion Randall Bailey and once-beaten contender Devon Alexander. Tags: Peter Quillin , Marco Antonio Rubio  |

Quillin is a plodder and his speed is in his upper body or in spurts. Winkie was a test by Peter's team to see how he did against an ancient dancer and Winkie got away. Rubio can move and he has a lot more left than a blown up Winkie. Rubio might be able to outbox him. |

For a guy who's basically a solidly skilled but aging junior-middle, who was never particular quick & certainly not getting any quicker, Rubio has had a pretty remarkable career & is still a very solid threat.
Rubio's a guy I written off a number of times after losses & he's come back to defeat ... |
