I think he should get a rubber match against Paul Williams, get knocked out, then call it a day. He could also be a journeyman gatekeeper for 147 and get knocked out by guys like Andre Berto.
I'm a Williams fan and I loved he was able to bounce back but eventually there should be a rematch unless Quintana falls apart against somebody else before they get a chance. I didn't think Williams looked "normal" the first fight and I don't think this was a typical Quintana in the 2nd fight either. Quintana has usually shown a very solid chin so it was all the more shocking Williams was able to get rid of him so easy. I'd be curious to see what would happen the 2nd time, though I wouldn't bet on it with Ron King's money.
I think Quintana should fight the rubber match! Hopefully he had a rematch clause just like Williams did. I think Carlos was overconfident and got caught! This happens in boxing. I never expected it. I think Carlos can beat Williams easily like he did the first time. Williams has been exposed once and will again. He caught Quintana right on the button and got lucky.
How do you know Williams wasn't overconfident in their first fight and lost cause of it? Could it be that Quintana just got outclassed in the second fight like he should have been in their first one? PR fans make me sick.
I thought that would already would have been his status after getting butchered by Cotto, but then he came with that upset of Williams which elevated his status. Now he go back to his rightful position as gatekeeper. He could fight Forrest to see if anyone would care.
Well that's the obvious choice, but i doubt there was a rematch clause. If you're Paul Williams you wouldn't want to bother with a 3rd fight.
dsimon writes: Quintana was not a gatekeeper. He was a talented fighter who was somewhere between not as good as Cotto and his own niche. I don't know.... Williams looked fucking gigantic next to Quintana. Just so much bigger and stronger. Quintanna might not be strong enough to hang with the stick man, but he deserves a shot and no he should not be desgnated a gatekeeper yet! :bangh:
LOK, if you saw Carlos Quitana wrapping Chicangas in Tijuana, and he accidentally put too much hot sauce on yours, would you let him slide? :dunno:
there wont be any interest in a rubber match with williams after that result. back to espn2 for quintana.
:atu:what's apparent is williams has power that in general he forefeits in favor of volume and stamina. not on saturday though. :atueople sad quintana schooled him their first fight.
Carlos did expose him the first time.:: We need a rubber match though, this will answer alot of questions.
