    What happened to Quillin?

    He got KOed by Jacobs and never heard from again. I know he played in Bleed For This but is he retired? He was pretty decent and would make the MW division that much more interesting. Where is he?

    He was supposed to be working with Virgil Hunter last October. Haven't heard anything since. All this inactivity is going to hurt him. Honestly, I think that KO took his heart. He didn't make weight for the Lee fight and struggled with Andy. I think he would have better luck at 168 where the talent isn't as deep and he doesn't have to drain himself to make weight.

      He moved out west to Oakland and now trains in the same Gym as Andre Ward I believe. Don't expect him back at middleweight tho. Super Middle is more likely.

        Not retired, but seems in no hurry to get back in the ring either. Heard him on a couple podcasts in the last few months. I think we see him again.

          He said he was moving about six months after the loss.

          He made a fortune and a half on the Haymon train, and now that the money's dried up I don't see him getting motivated for smaller paydays. I see him being out another year easily.

              I met Pete at the Lara-Zaveck fight in Hialeah. Real nice guy. Hung out for a real long time with the fans, talking and taking pictures. I see him on Facebook from time to time. He's staying in shape, but I get the sense that he's got one foot out the door of his fighting career. Like I said, I like the man, so I'm not trying to say anything negative by this, but he never gave me the sense that he wanted to be a fighter. Just my opinion, but I think he was motivated by everything but boxing greatness. It's hard to stay on top with that mindset. And if I'm right, he went quite far. He must be pretty talented. I wish Pete well, wherever his journey may take him.

                Probably enjoying some time off after getting paid handsomely for the Jacob's fight.

                I wouldn't mind seeing him in a fight with Lee again.

                    he got that money and got lazy, he was already lacking in skill due to a late start... so not being in the gym all the time really hurt him.... he lost that hunger once he got that money from what I see
