    Has he been having trouble making weight? Will being less (or not) weight drained help his stamina?

    I like Quintana. Hope he does well at 154.

    I don't think it's a weight issue, I read the move was into a thinner weight class. Thats what I read though.


    Do you think he can beat FORREST? I say YES.

    I've got a good friend who hangs out with Quintana and he's said the move was pretty much made for him. He said he showed up at a meeting and was told that he could either move to 154 or start all over at 147. He just decided to go to 154 where they'll likely chase a Kirkland fight at some point.

    You are wrong. He pulled out awhile ago.

    ...also Quintana is nothing more than an above-average fighter. Doesn't excel at any one thing. His win over Williams was such a strange fight, as Quintana didn't really do any much other than one overhand shot after another, and Williams just sat and took them.. over.. and over.. and over again.

    Quintana stood up to the punches of Joel Julio and Julio hits a lot harder than Berto does. Quintana doesn't have chin questions. He is amazingly soft downstairs though and that's where Berto might do significant damage.

    I'd favor Quintana in this fight as he seems to excel in fights he's supposed to lose.

    Maybe Quintana can finish off a trilogy with Paul Williams at this weight. But he can win a title there.

    I'd say yeah. Forrest looked pretty faded in his 2 outings against Mora, whom I'm not all that impressed with.
