Jacobs stops Quillin in less than two minutes

 

In the main event of a Showtime-televised card from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, WBA middleweight title-holder Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) blew out former world title holder Peter Quillin(32-1-1, 23 KOs) in just 85 seconds into the first round. In a wild minute and a half of action both Quillin and Jacobs threw caution to the wind as they threw punches in the middle of the ring. Quillin backed into the ropes and the two started exchanging hooks, seconds later an overhand right by Jacobs landed flush on Quillin who stumbled across the ring , but never went down. Quillin’s legs looked on steady and the referee waived it off, some on press row felt the fight was stopped pre-mature, but Quillin didn’t object to the stoppage.

After the bout, Jacobs said “…“It’s bittersweet. I’m just grateful that I’m able to prove the doubters wrong. Boxing is always about proving yourself and I think with tonight’s victory, that’s what we did. We have techniques in the gym that we work on that’s called ‘rumble,’ so when we have guys hurt we know exactly what punches to put together, what to bombard a guy with and corral a guy with and get the stoppage.” Jacobs would go on to say that he is interested in the winner of Andy Lee versus Billy Joe Saunders.

In a rather sleepy co-main event Jesus Cuellar (28-1, 21 KOs) defended his WBA Featherweight title by defeating Jonathan Oquendo (26-5, 16 KOs) over 12 rounds at the Barclays Center in New York. Cellar dropped Oquendo in round four en route to a 116-111, 116-111, 120-107 verdict.

In the final fight of the night of the Showtime telecast female super featherweight Heather Hardy (15-0 3KOs) won a decision an eight-round unanimous decision win against Noemi Bosques (10-4-2). The judges heavily favored Hardy with the scores of 80-72 x2 and 79-73, all for Hardy, now 15-0 with 3 KO’s. This was a rematch of their bout earlier in the year in which Hardy won a split decision, Hardy also weighed in five pounds heavier than Bosques which was never clarified to ITRBoxing.com.
