Junior lightweight Marvin “Cachorro” Quintero (17-2, 13 KOs), of Tijuana, had the impossible task of entertaining a shuffling-out crowd, in coming after such a thrilling main event where Yohnny Perez beat out Joseph Agbeko for the IBF bantamweight title. In his sixer against Colombian Walter Estrada (34-11, 24 KOs), however, Quintero produced, Chris Cozzone of Fightnews.com reported.
Not only did Quintero pull out a show-stopping finish, but he did it quickly, giving the remainder of the Perez-Agbeko, desensitized crowd just what was needed.
Round one was somewhat tactical, Quintero the busier and Estrada, trying to counter. Early in the first, a big right drooped Estrada, who attempted to rise, but could not get his legs on steady ground.
Official time was :25.
It was Estrada’s third kayo loss in a row, and sixth loss in seven bouts. Quintero bounces back from a loss in July.
