[{Pito}]

Who do you have and why?

[DLT]

Sergio now but in another year I might go with Pete

Elaborate please dlt

Quillen waits way too long to get his shots off. martinez wont throw shots then stand in front of him. quillen has a little more than a punchers chance though. the guy looks huge and has a lot of pop. could upset martinez, but i see martinez pot shotting him and using the ring effectively to a ud.

Forgot to mention, he doesnt react that well to clean face shots. he freezes up and shells up when you go off on him. not the greatest head movement, turns his back and ducks down sometimes. still would be an awesome fight.

Martinez by KO, Quillin got rocked by Winky. He gets hit pretty often, isn't super active with his punching. Quillin is awkward and would get some shots in but I don't see it working as well as against Sergio's footwork

[{Pito}]

Montakristo i agree with sergios footwork being key. Definitely.

Timbo, the freezing up is true and sergios footwork and angles when quillen freezes will be a big factor.


As far as quillen i believe hes on the come up and finding himself so every fight now he improves by a lot. I can see him improving more and neutralizing some of sergios gifts.

I really like Quillen's skillset, confidence, explosivness, ability to be relaxed. He's weird because he's like ****y & humble at the same time but he's mad hungry. He's growing at the right rate. Nice fight with Winky, then fight a guy a lil better than him, and a guy a lil better than him while at the same time Sergio will be 38 so probably on the decline.

Either way I dont think Sergio kills him. It would be a tough fight. Sergio is use to being the much faster guy in the ring. That wont be the case against Pete. He can atleast matchup

I would give the edge to Martinez, Quillin is a little wild and his defense is not great at all...Martinez likely picks Quillin apart

[DoktorSleepless]

Would like to see Quillin fight another contender. I don't know how good most of the middleweight contenders are because they don't fight each other. It's mostly a crapshoot.

Right now, I think Martinez would plaster Quillin all night with his jab.
