    Very concerning. Quillin had the same look on his face ththroughout the fight with Angulo as Ali when he fought Holmes. Time to hang it up.. Boxing is a dangerous sport..

    “It’s a good thing my wife has a job, so I’m not the (only) paycheck in the house,” Quillin quipped to Fox Sports...

    That's it. I doubt he has enough money saved to stop boxing...

    From what I understand she brings in quite a bit of money, so if right no worries for him there.

    He can still do alright if matched correctly (ie no pressure fighters) or maybe earn decent if not spectacular money as a sparring partner. He's not shot to bits or anything, just a man who's found his ceiling.

    Quillin is done. Once you cant deal with Angulo just packs it in. Angulo is a tough SOB but Quillin fought in a senseless manor. He doesn't have the head for the game anymore.

    How he must hate Haymon for convincing him to vacate rather than take the millions on offer.

    Quillin was done after Jacobs KO'ed him. Haven't been the same since! He need to retire!

    Just watched the fight last night. Quillin is beyond finished. He looked like a babe lost in the woods. (Wide eyes, no answers for the offense, getting caught by wide swinging slow shots etc.). What's sad is he can't even use the weight excuse, he was fighting a much smaller man, and a man that for all intents and purposes should be just as shopworn as him (even moreso).

    He needs to just retire, he's gonna get stopped brutally in the near future should he continue.

    Well Haymon got him a shot against Lee and swerve Korobov. It just didn;t pan out but that isn't Haymon's fault. Quillin was never going to unify the WBO belt he had anyway. Then he got him a shot against Jacobs.

    For sure. Any live 168 lber will take him out. He has no business being in the ring. Not only physically but mentally, he seems to have checked out, like he didn't even want to be in the ring.
