Expert Sports Picks: W.B.A. middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs obliterated #1 contender Peter Quillin in the 1st round late Saturday night from the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York. The fight was dubbed “Winner takes the fight and Brooklyn” and the BK born “Miracle Man” Jacobs, 31-1, 28 KO’s, staked his claim as the borough’s finest with his drubbing of “Kid Chocolate”. Quillin, 32-1-1, 23 KO’s, a Grand Rapids, Michigan import that calls Brooklyn home was caught cold just :30 seconds into the first round by a crunching right hand to the temple.

Quillin’s equilibrium was shot after the right-hand blast as he staggered around the ring like a man strung out on Quaaludes. Jacobs, 28, pounced on his damaged victim with a blistering two-fisted assault that overwhelmed the Cuban. Quillin, 32, flailed and grabbed amateurishly until a series of punches caused him to touch the canvas and stumble glassy eyed into the ropes. Referee Harvey Dock waved the fight off at 1:25 with Quillin out on his feet. Final punch stats emphasized the landslide victory with Jacobs outlanding Quillin 27-2.
The gritty Cancer survivor “Miracle Man” Jacobs proved to be the genuine article with his one-sided win over Quillin. The age old boxing axiom is that a fighter becomes 15% better when they become a champion and the fast and powerful W.B.A. champion was in fine form in his first title defense. A potential middleweight unification bout with either Canelo Alvarez or Gennady Golovkin appears to be on the horizon for the dangerous “Miracle Man”.
