Balsy performance by Hassan N'dam, who despite six knockdowns, outlanded Chocolate in total punches in nine of twelve rounds. Peter Quillin landed the harder shots all night and landed 44% of his power shots.

Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York - Peter Quillin (28-0, 20KOs) dropped Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (27-1, 17KOs) six times to capture the WBO middleweight title. The scores were 115-107 across the board. The champion was dropped twice, from hard lefts, and saved by the bell in the fourth. N'Dam was dropped two more times in the sixth round and his right eye was bleeding. The champion had a good seventh by letting his hands go when Quillin was backed against the ropes. He continued to outwork Quillin in rounds eight and nine. Quillin went back to work in the tenth. But then N'Dam stole the eleventh. However, then Quillin scored two more knockdowns in the final minute of the twelfth.

Both threw well below the weight class average in their last two fights. Twelve of Quillin's landed punches per round were power shots. Peter Quillin's opponents landed just 21% of their power punches. Hassan N'Dam landed 43% of his power shots vs. Bursak and Khurtsidze.

WBO middleweight champion Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (27-0, 17KOs) is not looking for a knockout later tonight, when he faces unbeaten challenger Peter Quillin (27-0, 20KOs) in a Showtime televised title fight at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

There are many in the sport of boxing that talk a good talk before a game or a match. To some, it is to psyche themselves up. Others may use it in a way to intimidate their opponents. Not unbeaten middleweight contender Peter Quillin. If he does talk, it is because he is confident enough that what he says will play out exactly in the ring. He has done it 27 times as a professional before and thinks that in the most important fight of his career thus far, it will happen again. Quillin will challenge middleweight world title holder Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

All signs point to go, even if four title fights are now three with Pablo Cesar Cano blowing a title opportunity on the scales. That, of course, is not the real story. The real story is Erik Morales, the future Hall of Famer, testing positive on at least one testing date for a banned diuretic. The show appears to be going on with later clean tests, but the date will rage. For now, we have a fight. We have four.
