Carlos "El Indio" Quintana suffered another setback.

After a strong cold that had him away from the gym for three days, the former WBO welterweight champion (147 lbs.) looked obligated to step off from the fight programed for June 5 with Danny Perez.

"I was weak, with a fever and a weak body. I couldn't train for a frew days and just two weeks before the fight, we had to inform Lou DiBella (Quintana's promoter) that it was not intelligent to fight on", commented yesterday Jose Bonilla, Quintana's trainer.

This is the second time in the year thad Quintana steps off from his ring return. Last January, he cancelled his participation on a card when he suffered an injury on the ankle while he ran.

"For a boxer like Perez, we have to be well prepared, but we had to stop training and we can't like that", said Bonilla, at the same time he mentioned Quintana had been taking medications.

Bonilla also trusts that Quintana will be ready to fight by the end of june or early July.

Thats Bull****. He said he only was out of the Gym for 3 days.

If he continues like this he should just retire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Quintana has the Santos syndrome.

I agree. This is getting ridiculous. He has so much potential, he can be a top contender and win a few more belts. It's really frustrating.

Santos is doing ok though. He won three in a row, two for championship belts.

I'd like to Santos in the ring soon, he's been out for a little bit now.


Quintana is all right, but Danny Perez? Doesn't that guy lose all his big fights?

I guess it was supposed to be a comeback fight for Quintana.

I knew you would respond quickly. I'm just joking man. I like Quintana. He's underrated like Collazo and Sergei in my opinion.

quintana is a bigger threat to floyd than mosley, cotto and pacquiao

aww come on! sure he could man - up and make the fight but really...
at his age and his position since the williams fights, he's got to watch it.
i see no reason to question his reasons and decisions. he knows whats best
for his fans.
