Comments Thread For: Quillin Sees Several Good Reasons To Make Andy Lee Bout

[rey guey]

Peter Quillin is just a loud mouth trying to make a name for himself with ever having to fight anybody.

lets look at some facts.

Quillin rejects an offer to face Bute, say he wants Sergio Martinez. Martinez ends up fight Barker and Quillin criticizes Martinez for fighting Barker and not him.

ok

what people don't know is Martinez offered Quillin a fight before Barker and GBP and Quillin rejected it. Eric Gomez said

""We’ve been offered the Sergio Martinez fight; we all agreed it’s too early. [Quillin] needs rounds"

and now he gets the fight with Lee but all the sudden is having problems with the money being offered? yeah right, all Quillin does is call out names but when it comes time to fight them he makes up some bulls.hit excuse.

go to 11:35. . . and TELL ME mcewan wasn't 100% lucid and clenched up. . . and watch the entire fight if you want to see how close some of the rounds were. . . the only thing separating the two was quillin's harder punches. . mcewan was landing basically just as many punches. . maybe a few less. .

the reason he stopped the fight so soon was because quillin was the one who oscar "wanted to win", and the referee clearly knew it. . . he was the undefeated prospect, and mcewan was the opponent. . . it's nothing new to boxing. . not the first time it's happened, and won't be the last. . although i can't remember such a bad stoppage in the past few years. . .

It was premature but the writing was on the wall, Craig was about to get stopped and could have being seriously hurt and not won a round, I guess you want Craig to take a few more shots, me too.

before that fight Quillin had never had a stoppage past the 5th. so usually if Quillin can't get a stoppage soon it isn't going to happen.

Quillin was probably going to win that fight but it was scheduled for 10 and it should have went on til it end because who knows what would have happened in rounds 7,8,9,10. that's a a lot of rounds and considering Quillin isn't as strong at the end of fights could have worked in McEwan's favor.

I doubt that would have happened but come on, the fight was on HBO, the so called premier boxing platform. Stoppages like that are fine with guy is coming up and televised on Solo Boxeo.

hmm...I think you're right. I'm just used to the weak stoppages we get nowadays. Whenever I watch some older fights, I'm always surprised by how much punishment some guys take before the ref thinks about stopping fights compared to the present.

Turning down a fight because you think you're not getting enough money is still turning down a fight. What was Steve Kim talking about when he said "Got a call from Peter Quillin, he says he absolutely wants Andy Lee on March 17. Just wants a fair deal" then? Dan Rafael also said the fight was off the table because of money issues.

Quillin cannot control the decisions made by his management team. In case you didn't know, others like GBP, his manager, his trainer, cutman and corner have to get paid for the fight as well. GBP offered to waive the percentage to make this happen. So now what? Quillin agreed to the terms!

before that fight Quillin had never had a stoppage past the 5th. so usually if Quillin can't get a stoppage soon it isn't going to happen.

Actually he stopped a much bigger, more experienced Sam Hill in the 10th. While we're discussing facts here, I thought you should know.

exactly. . quillin thinks he's worth more than he is. . . if he is willing to accept the cut that he deserves, then lee will make the fight. .

even though quillin is from NYC, nobody there knows about him. . Lee would be responsible for at least 75% of the tickets sold, and the viewers on HBO. . .

Oh yeah, his stoppage over Mcewan was one of the absolute worst stoppages ive seen in recent memory. . . watch it if u don't believe me, or didn't see it.

Your mouth must make your a55 jealous with all the **** you talk. LOL I am no sure what you do in life but if you were accustomed to making a certain salary and then you were offered more work for less money, would you take the job? Stoppage was justified, just premature. We all wanted to see The Kid Chocolate KO McEwan. I'm sure Oscar wanted Khan to win against Peterson and the ref knew that but still favored Lamont heavily. Nice logic.

lets look at some facts. Quillin rejects an offer to face Bute, say he wants Sergio Martinez. Martinez ends up fight Barker and Quillin criticizes Martinez for fighting Barker and not him.

Quillin is on a quest for the Middleweight Championship, not SMW. Bute and othe SMW walk around at 190. Peter walks around at 170. This is a sport genius. Pac and Money May won't fight Sergio or Cotto above 147 yet they're considered the 2 pfp fighters in the world. Petey kept harassing Sergio after he Barker was selected because he wants the fight. He can't make his team make decisions!

Petey kept harassing Sergio

Man, no wonder Sergio is hanging around women's shelters. He has his own problems to deal with.

That's an image I wish I never saw. Reminds me of ODH in fishnet. lol

[ИATAS]

How can some of u say what you're saying if u have absolutely No idea as to what was offered to Peter? There is such a thing as low balling in boxing it happens all the time.

[rey guey]

Maybe you just don't know how to read. The only person that said Quillin wasn't ready for the fight with Sergio was Gomez. If you continue to read the article after Gomez finishes getting quoted;

One of the problems plaguing Martinez is that right now, he lacks recognizable dance partners, which is why he is facing Darren Barker on October 1st. There is a bit of a vacuum within the division and the colorful and personable Quillin BELIEVES he can help fill that void.

Fact- you never heard Quillin say he wasn't ready. FACT - when this went down he told me he felt ready for Sergio, Chavez or anyone but had to fight whomever they put in front of him.
