Miguel Cotto vs Carlos Quintana
  1. W RTD 5 Carlos Quintana (2006)

In an all Puerto-Rican clash at the Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Cotto dispatched Carlos Quintana in brutal fashion to win the WBA welterweight title. Questions were answered of Cotto about his capabilities at 147lbs, while Quintana’s unbeaten record was decimated. It was entertaining for four rounds, though Miguel looked much fresher by the start of the fifth. Sensing the end, he stormed out for the round, flooring Quintana with a brace of hooks to the body. The onslaught continued but Quintana bravely made it to the bell, only for referee Steve Smoger to end proceedings on the advice of the ringside doctor.
