\"\"<\/a>Newly-crowned USBO Super Middleweight champion and undefeated prospect, Peter \u201cKid Chocolate\u201d Quillin (24-0, 18 KO\u2019s), finds himself in a sweet position after his electrifying knockout of former world title challenger Jesse Brinkley (35-7, 22 KO\u2019s) on April 30 in Reno, Nevada in a fight televised live on TeleFutura\u2019s \u201cSolo Boxeo Tecate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Quillin rocked Brinkley in the opening round with an overhand right, showed poise during target practice in the following round, and finished-off the then International Boxing Federation (\u201cIBF\u201d) No. 7-rated Brinkley when referee Joe Cortez mercifully halted the action at 2:34 of the third.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing into that fight I had a lot more confidence to do in the ring what I had worked so hard on in training camp,\u201d Quillin said. \u201cI orchestrated my camp and was more in rhythm to take care of boxing in order to be an explosive winner. I hurt him in the first round but didn\u2019t go in for the kill. I relaxed and took my shots, realizing I could hit him again at any time. I hit him with a lot of hard, accurate shots. I stayed with our game plan in the second round but my corner (trainer Eric Brown) told me after the second round that Brinkley was ready to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur game plan was to box him the first five rounds and go from there with a lot of pressure. I hurt him in the first but didn\u2019t pressure him then because I didn\u2019t exactly know how he\u2019d react. I never underestimated him because he\u2019s a serious fighter. I didn\u2019t want to risk trying to finish him off then. I was in the biggest fight of my career and just did what was natural. I knew I had a lot of power and he was right there for me to hit. I wanted to show more boxing, go to the body, but the fight only lasted three rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quillin is now in an enviable position, training at Wild Club Boxing Club under Freddie Roach and Brown, promoted by Golden Boy, and even being mentioned as a participant in a high-profile fight, possibly against Sergio Martinez.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll fight anybody put in front of me as long as everybody \u2013 Golden Boy, my manager (John Seip) and corner \u2013 all agree that the opponent is the right one at this stage of my career,\u201d Quillin noted.<\/p>\n

Seip doesn\u2019t believe there\u2019s a rush for \u201cKid Chocolate\u201d to be in a mega-fight, or need to fight again above middleweight. He noted that Quillin is a relatively young 27 with only 15 amateur matches and no \u201cwars\u201d as a professional having won 84 of 86 rounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been with Petey six years and we\u2019re going to stay the course,\u201d Seip explained. \u201cWhy deviate? He\u2019s on his way and totally destroyed Brinkley. He\u2019s getting stronger working with his strength-and-conditioning coach, Brad Bose (Anatomi Gym in Santa Monica), who I call \u2018The Professor\u2019 because of his cutting edge programs. We\u2019re sold on Golden Boy, Freddie Roach and Eric Brown, and believe with them he\u2019ll become world champion. Petey has youth, athleticism, speed and power but people still haven\u2019t seen his best punch, yet \u2013 left hook \u2013 because he\u2019s been hurting guys with his right. I\u2019d like to get him one or two more fights against a top 10, top 5 opponent before putting him in a world title fight. Physically, he\u2019s capable right now, but this is the big time and I want to make sure he\u2019s mentally prepared for the pressures of fighting in a major fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe certainly was impressive, looking real strong against Brinkley, but Petey is going back down to 160 for good. We took this one fight against Brinkley because it was a great opportunity, but Petey is a middleweight, and I believe he\u2019s the biggest puncher there. After the fight Brinkley told me Petey hits harder than (Lucian) Bute. We\u2019ve been patient all along and there\u2019s no reason to change now.\u201d<\/p>\n
