Laughs in Peter Quillin. Turned down a career high payday of 1.4 million because of Haymon. For this he was rewarded a fight with Lee for 500k, oh and Quillin had a year off thanks to the blatant duck. And 12 months after what should have been Quillins highest payday, he finally made it big with a 1.2 million dollar payday against Jacobs. Which pretty much ended his entire career. And after dropping his belt, Qullin said something in the lines of: "Moving on to better and bigger things". If only he had known that in a little more than a year, his career would be over.

lmao watched already some clips where Martin left his body discovered and I think Wahid will capitalize on it alone. Ain't no way this pal will defeat him.
For me that has to be one of the stupidest decisions I can remember. I lost so much respect for him dumping the title. What was even more funny was the guy that he dumped the title for was crushed by Lee and then he drew Lee, which meant he would’ve kept the title. I remember I used to know somebody that worked at a gym in Brooklyn who knew that I liked boxing and was excited when Quillin came there and they told me that the champ was there and I laughed and said, former champ they didn’t know that he had vacated and he was still going around saying he was champ
He's a more durable, slicker, bigger, heavier handed version of Hector Garcia, who with fair judging, was shutting Tank out 1-8, before the stoppage in the 9th. Can Frank go the distance for the honor of getting viciously robbed... absolutely! Although, since he is an American and also a PBC fighter, there's a slight possibility that they won't **** him over like everyone else, especially if it's a dominant showing. After all, the Cruz cards were surprisingly close.
I could absolutely see Frank Martin pulling off the upset here. The man is being slept on pretty bad here, he's far from the can I've seen some folks make him out to be. I'm picking Davis to win but a Frank Martin W is far from impossible. As an aside, it's interesting that Harutyunyan is gonna be challenging for the WBC title just a couple of weeks after. Don't see it as super likely, but how funny would it be if a Martin-Harutyunyan rematch was actually a unification fight?
I remember when I first heard that, I was saying to myself " what, that can't be right?". He was my fav fighter at the time and I do think he could have had a crazy amount of 'legit' title defences if he hadn't be screwed over by universum early days. So I ran with it, sorry.
Well hey, Frank's chances just increased. This content is protected Historically speaking, when an anticipated fight is finally being spoken of with some optimism like this, an upset happens and completely derails it
