on another note is this Quintana guy any good... i think its a very risky fight going of the record and will be putting some dosh on the upset.

but has anyone seen this guy fight or have any insight for me ?
Yeah Quintana is a great fighter, he did more than expose Joel Julio, he showed that he has patience, and ring smarts. The guy can slug as well.
This is by far IMO a bigger challenge to go up to welter than PBF or Hatton took. Quintana has a very good chance of beating Cotto, although it's hard to judge because we don't know how Cotto will be at Welter. I am guessing that Cotto's power will be amplified by moving up in weight.
Still, this ones a toss-up for me.
CC,was about to write exactly the same...experts have been talking about him for a while and although I'm a HUGE Cotto fan,I know it'll be a very hard fight especially as it's his first at 147! He schooled the highly rated(at the time ) Joel Julio and is slick but sits on his shots so has power.. ALOT depends on how well Cotto has carried his power up,if hasn't,it's going to be a long night!
I never actually saw Quintana vs Julio.. But do you think Joels recently losing again to Cosme Rivera suggests Quintana may have looked better than he was, or did he really shine through...
