The former WBO welterweight champion, who has not fought since losing an eight round technical knockout against Andre Berto, is back. Carlos Quintana will climb into the ring on January 26th at the Sports Palace in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. With 27-3 and 21 knockouts, “El Indio” will fight at junior middle weight.
“Welterweight is a thing of the past. Quintana is training in Moca and doing the work. He weights 162 pounds and there will be no problem making weight,” Coach Jose Bonilla told BoxingScene. “We’re going to go fast in 2011 with Quintana. We hope to put together a couple of fights and get ranked well at 154 pounds and hope for a title shot.”
