Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin discusses recent fights: (Sergio, GGG, Ward, Geale)

CIANI: Pete, the last few weeks there’s been a lot of action going on in and around your weight division. I was wondering if I could get your opinions on some of those fights that have taken place, and I’d like to start with the middleweight championship fight last weekend between Sergio Martinez and Julio Cesar Chavez Junior. What did you think and were there any surprises for you?

QUILLIN: Yes I was very surprised that Sergio looked as good as he did and then going into the last round he gets hurt and got dropped by Chavez, and everybody looked at that more than they looked at the rest of the performance. Like give the guy credit. The guy did what he had to do. Well he didn’t do what he said he was going to do. He said he was going to knock Chavez out, and he didn’t do that. For that being said, Chavez, training along side of him, I’d seen a different fighter. Before I had seen a lot more fire in before than what I had seen in that fight. You know I really can’t necessarily say what he’s going to do as a person you, because that does have to do with a lot of things. You know what I mean? A lot of pressures and everything, and I go through a lot of pressures at the same time, but I just want to motivate myself and use the all the stuff that goes on outside of the boxing ring. I use it to be motivated to get better and work harder. I wish Chavez would have done that before his preparation, and show the fans that you’re getting ready for fights. Everyone, they actually want to see you in a boxing gym getting ready, and he didn’t do that. But you know not to disrespect the guy. He did go in up in there and put in his, I guess best performance that he could with his conditioning. Going twelve rounds with what some would consider the best middleweight out there, until they see me—you know what I’m saying?—I give him a lot of credit for that. I did say that he was very disrespectful, and I’m not going to take those words back. As superstar boxers, as celebrity boxers, we hold a thing where we have to make sure that we’re respectful to the sport and we’re respectful to the fans, because we owe that to them! These are the people that come back and support us, and boxing pays people’s bills like it pays mine.
