Time really flies – I still remember Quillin’s first fights (2006) and it seems like ages ago. But he’s still boxing and apparently making another attempt to break into the top 10 of his division. He was dynamite for the first 9 years until he ran into Jacobs who handed him his first and only loss – but one that was devastating.
Quillin’s last fight was against Truax and ended in an unexpected ND (accidental clash of heads which left Truax with a cut that looked wore and actually was worse than Fury’s recent cut). .
Angulo is a good opponent for Quillin and an impressive win would put Quillin right back into the mix….but he’s already 36 and he doesn’t have much time left. Add to that the fact that the super middle weight division is one of the deepest at the moment, it will be tough for him to get back into the top 5, despite his stellar record and remarkable talent.
Angulo is one year older than Quillin and he is way past his prime. I don’t know what the betting odds are, but I assume Quillin will be the clear favorite.
My pick: Quillin by KO within 7.
