Umm, by that you mean Quintana gets KOed in 7 right? Man, you gotta respect Quintana for his heart, he has suffered pretty bad loses to Cotto and then to Paul Williams. Its not just the fact that he lost, but he looked to be disheartened by the losses, he looked really bad after both of them. Like he said himself, he was even considering retirement. And now he is confident enough to even step up in weight or face Cotto again.
God bless your heart Quintana, but if you step in the ring with Cotto again you just might retire this time because you know Cotto is not going to lose that match without trying to destroy you in the process. Should be interesting to see how Quintana's career goes, I remember him being undefeated and coming off of a when from Joel Julio, then he faced Cotto at 147, I believe that was Cotto's debut at Welterweight, he destoyed Quintana with body punches, I didn't think Quintana would come back from that fight... I guess I was wrong.Comment

This must be the winter of ankle injuries. So far we've got, Povetkin, Jonathan Banks, Jennings, and now Quintana. Any others?Comment

How ironic this comes only a few days after he said he would fill in for Jennings (with his bad ankle).Comment
