Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin defends his WBO title against Fernando Guerrero in what looks to be an entertaining fight. Quillin, from Brooklyn, is 29 years old; stands 5’ 11”; has a 73” reach; and has a 28-0 record, with twenty knockouts.
The biggest name on Peter’s record is Ronald “Winky” Wright, who cam out of retirement to challenge Quillin last June. Peter won an easy, one-sided decision in 12 rounds. Four months later, Quillin fought Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam in his most exciting bout. Quillin scored two knockdowns in rounds 4, 6, and 12, but the fight was far from as one-sided as the scorecards indicated. Three 10-7 rounds gave Quillin the well-deserved victory, but he proved himself against a tough, determined opponent that night.
Guerrero is 3 years younger, and 2 inches shorter than Quillin. Born in the Dominican Republic, he relocated to Maryland to pursue his boxing career. His record is 25-1, with 19 KO victories. He was stopped in his lone loss.
Guerrero has faced more limited, second-tier opposition than Quillin. It appears likely that Peter, who is coming into his prime, should win impressively. However, as always, anything can happen inside the ring.
