\"\"<\/a>Undefeated middleweight prospect Peter \u201cKid Chocolate\u201d Quillinmay be a prizefighter, rather than a baseball player, but never-the-less the talented Cuban-American plans to hit a curveball out of the park Saturday night in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Coming off of an explosive third-round destruction of former world title challenger Jesse Brinkley this past April for the USBO super middleweight title, Quillin (24-0, 18 KOs) prepared for the last eight weeks to fight once again in his natural weight class against veteran middleweight \u201cMarvelous\u201d Tarvis Simms (27-1-1, 11 KOs), a southpaw, in a10-round bout on Saturday night\u2019s Amir Khan vs. Zab Judah undercard at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Quillin-Simms, however, was recently cancelled when Tarvis reportedly broke a rib in training camp. Now, the International Boxing Federation No. 5-rated Quillin, fighting out of Los Angeles, faced an entirely different fighter, Jason \u201cThe Hammer\u201d LeHoullier(21-5-1, 8 KOs).<\/p>\n

\u201cI sparred and trained to fight a southpaw, Simms, and now I\u2019m fighting a right-handed boxer,\u201d Quillin said. \u201cHey, I\u2019m a fighter and I can adjust to anybody. When Simms fell out all I cared about was still fighting. Jason LeHoullier stepped in and took a fight with 1 \u00bd weeks to go and that\u2019s something not many guys would do against a top-level fighter like me. I\u2019m not taking anything away from him because fighters like him can be dangerous. He may be coming in here trying to shock the world, tired of hearing people say he can\u2019t win, and that could cause problems. But I am totally focused on him. I know he\u2019s a guy who puts it all on the line, but he\u2019s facing a guy who can box and is a big puncher. I\u2019m going to set him up and, then, bang like a firecracker.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quillin has received a lot of attention lately because his trainer, Freddie Roach, went public saying \u2018Kid Chocolate\u201d can beat world middleweight champion Sergio Martinez. \u201cI would have been ready to fight Sergio Martinez on July 23,\u201dQuillin added. \u201cPhysically, I\u2019m ready and I would have been 10 times more ready mentally for that fight. For now, though, I\u2019m 100-percent focused on Jason LeHoullier. After this fight I\u2019ll be ready to fight anybody in the world, including Sergio Martinez. The sky\u2019s the limit for me. If everything goes right Saturday night, I\u2019d like to comeback right away and fight September 17. But I\u2019m not into the business end of boxing, I\u2019m a fighter, and I\u2019ll let my promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, and manager, John Seip, take care of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quillin-LeHoullier is a scheduled 10-round bout on the non-televised portion of the Khan-Judah world junior welterweight unification fight on HBO.<\/p>\n
