As previously reported, former WBO welterweight champion Carlos Quintana (25-2, 19KOs) is returning to action on October 25 in Puerto Rico. The fight will be held at the catch-weight of 152-pounds. Quintana is still hoping to land a trilogy bout with WBO welterweight champion Paul Williams (34-1, 25KOs).
Quintana outhustled Williams in February to win a decision in one of the biggest upsets of the year. Williams came back in the June rematch to stop Quintana in the very first-round. Very few fans wants to see a third fight, unless maybe Quintana re-establishes himself in a strong way, and Williams is not interested either. Quintana expects to fight for a major title in 2009.
"I don't know who is going to be my opponent for October, but I got what I wanted - to fight in Puerto Rico," Quintana said. "It's upsetting that Paul Williams does not want to give me a rematch, but I expect that I'll fight next year for a title or in a big fight."
