So you noticed the trend of GB putting on 2nd tier cards to go up against other promoters major events

Yup. Don't like it one bit.

I just hope Ward vs. Dawson is promoted properly and sold as a megafight. My concern is that a lack of promotion for the fight would lead to an Alexander vs. Bradley type of flop.

I consider Rubio to be a great test for Quillin, enough so, that I wouldn't be suprised if his manager declined the fight.

Come on man. Peter is supposed to be able to beat Martinez. How are you on the old man circuit fighting all the washed up cats? He needs a tough up and comer to get the big fights. These easy tune ups are not helping him!

100% agree

you know when Quillin was running his mouth about Martinez, DiBella approached GBP about fighting him but Quillin's team declined the offer, said he wasn't ready.

i think it was on Max boxing

personally I'd like to see Quillin fight Macklin, that's a real test. now that Quillin is with Al Haymon, we'll see him beat up the likes or Rubio and David Lopez. not terrible fighters, just not very good.

For a guy who's basically a solidly skilled but aging junior-middle, who was never particular quick & certainly not getting any quicker, Rubio has had a pretty remarkable career & is still a very solid threat.

Rubio's a guy I written off a number of times after losses & he's come back to defeat good fighters & touted prospects before, so this should be interesting.

Quillan should be a little too big, as well as having a big speed advantage, & unlike a lot of quick fighters he really focuses on accuracy.
Then again, something similar has been said about a number of Rubio's bouts at middle, & it was the other guy who ended up on the canvas...

Quillin is a plodder and his speed is in his upper body or in spurts. Winkie was a test by Peter's team to see how he did against an ancient dancer and Winkie got away. Rubio can move and he has a lot more left than a blown up Winkie. Rubio might be able to outbox him.

vs Rubio's an ok bout, as both w/their limitations but can provide a good show,but not saying much if Quillin wins as Rubio's shop-worn but comes back vs the inexperienced as he did vs this undefeated guy Saturday past... if not Rubio, curious who? as D.Lopez mentioned but Quillin would have a big size advantage over this slow plodder...

Nice stepping stone fight, I think after this one that a Macklin fight would be a good matchup.
