Undefeated super-middleweight Peter Quillin kept his perfect record last night, with a dominant performance over former world title challenger Jesse Brinkley at the Reno Events Center. The 27 year-old clearly had too much for the former Contender star and inflicted the Yerington fighters worst defeat in thirteen years by stopping him in three rounds.
New York-based Quillin, who is originally from Floyd Mayweather’s hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan, had Brinkley, 34, in trouble from the off and could have finished him in the first round with a huge right hand. The end came in the third when Quillin unleashed a barrage of punches that Brinkley was unable to deal with and referee Joe Cortez felt the need to step in and wave the fight off.
“Kid Chocolate” moves on to 24-0, with his 18th career knockout and will have the champions of the division in his sights in the coming months. Brinkley has now lost his last two bouts and seven out of his 42 contests in total after a superb nine-fight unbeaten run ended with a crushing defeat against Luicen Bute in an IBF challenge last October.
It looks as if the Nevada fighter has nowhere left to go and it will be a waiting game to see where the fans favourite takes his ailing career. For Quillin though, its onwards and upwards and the chances of an eliminator for a version of the world title has now become a real possibility.
