Williams vs Quintana
Berto vs Trabant.

Should be a great night.

This kid Berto looks better every time I see him on HBO. That may be his last non main event fight we see from him.

He needs to take a step up in competition. However, he told the Fight Dr that he wants to fight 4-5 times this year.

Margarito/Cintron fight in April. Judah/Sugar Shane in May. While the winners of these two fights would be likely next foes, I don't think he'll wait on em.

Whos next? Collazo? Clottey? Forrest?

I don't know. I agree you need to see Berto against a better class of boxer. I realize it's a process, but he did what he should have done to a dude named Michelle.

I like watching boxing whenever it's on, but that was a fight befitting its Pechanga preliminary status.

As an aside, Williams is having all kinds of trouble with Quintana through 2 rounds. Interesting to see if Williams can keep him away and take measure of that reach advantage.

Wow

Great fight by Quintana

Williams/Berto now seems to make a lot of sense in May.

Williams looked like shit, defense wasn't there.
I don't think that fight make sense.
Berto is a #1 contender by a few organizations. He just might get a shot at Quintana.

Kept waiting for the toll of that fight to catch up to Quintana. To his credit, he took just enough time off during a couple rounds to last.

I agree with Max Kellerman. That was nearly a perfect fight by QUintana.

I love free fights on HBO.

When I think perfect fight, I think domination and precision.
The fight was an ugly one with the guy that won gassing in the 4th and taking a few rounds off.
Quintana won a gritty ugly fight, nowhere near perfect to me.

The fight wasn't perfect, Peeker was saying Quintanas performance nearly was, and I agree.

Set the tempo. Got the lead. Took a couple rounds off to recoup in the middle. Then finished him by winning the final four rounds.

by **Guest** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 6:29 pm

He won, that's all that matters.

Exactly.

Quintana had no margin for error and had to execute perfectly to win it. And he did do that.

by **Guest** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 7:46 pm

The gameplan was perfect, not the fight.

by **swerb** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 7:49 pm

Exactly. Which was what Peeker initially said.

by **Guest** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 8:42 pm

Exactly

Maybe if you weren't so argumentative, we'd have more than 3 people in this forum.

by **Guest** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 10:01 pm

How do you figure?
I give you my opinion and why.
Is there something wrong with that?

by **swerb** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 10:03 pm

Nothing wrong, just a suggestion.

by **Guest** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 10:08 pm

I really wasn't arguing actually, just giving my thoughts on what I think is a perfect fight.
Sorry if you guys took it the wrong way.
