Quillen doesn't make weight, bout is a non title fight

[Tam Seddon]

I've read he will keep the title. So only good thing is,the fight is happening with Saunders.

Quillin is a bitch!

[Spicoli]

Ok. After a few years defending Quillin...I'm done. Pete you're on the shit list and frankly son, I hope Lee beats you. Zero excuse for that after long layoff. Effectively he has walked away from two championships. Enough

What sort of wanker is Quillen? Surely he should be fined , it seems like that's the only thing that would hurt him. After all, he's clearly not interested in being a World Champion.
This is getting ridiculous now. First, you've got the joke of Garcia v Peterson at catch weight, now this is a non title fight. What is the fucking point of these fights?
There are 2 people delighted about this. Lee because no matter what happens , he's still the champ and that means another big pay day against Saunders, who doesn't have to fight Quillen in the States for less money. And Saunders accepted step aside money I believe. You couldn't make it up!

[TitoFan]

Quillen's been hanging around JCC Jr. too long!!
Now he's acting just like that low-life dumbass.

Do we need any more proof that he was unfit to wear that title anyway. I cant get on him too much because at least he relinquished the title before. He could do the same now but that kind of puts andy lee out of a pay check too. While a pound and a half is not grossly overweight why do i get the feeling this was a "eff it... if you make you make it" conversation between Quillen and Haymon...

I gave up on him when he ducked Korobov. Should not have done that.

I don't think he ducked Korobov but let his strings be pulled by Haymon. But it did not look good at all. Still this growing attitude of "Meh, weight limit whatever" just kills me. I def think guys...groomed and steered would be stars...blow weight just looking at the next showcase opportunity. Its not like they arrive at the scales on 1 days notice ffs Quillin had a year to plan, practice and come in on weight. Guys with "a future" just throw money at the fine knowing the bigger payoff is ahead with a top notch performance. They...managers...can afford it. Its a terrible trend now with guys getting a promotional push.

Honestly if a guy does not make weight, I don't think a win should be factor in rankings at all.

Agreed because weight can dictate winning or losing.

If a guy feels doing the work at the last minute will cost him in effectiveness, clearly he does. That's on him and obvious lack of preparedness and professionalism. If a fighter can not-will not make weight...move up. God knows we have enough divisions already.

Havent fighters been stripped of titles if they lose even in a none title bout like this in the past?

If Lee does get to keep the title even if he loses then Quillin has done him a financial favour really because he gets another decent payday to defend against Saunders.
