Big test this weekend for hot shot Julio: Quintana is unbeaten and a puncher too - 22-0 (18 kos).
So we might find out how good the Colombian really is.
A welterweight eliminator, so I'm sure Hatton, Cotto and co will be watching with interest.
HBO after dark series this one, maybe someone at Sky can pick this up delayed.
Or maybe some kind soul can post a link for the fight here Sunday AM?

Looking forward to this one immensly, a certain in my "must obtain" list.
Its a toughie to call, been impressed with Julio so far - but this could answer one or two questions about his desire (seems to have inactive periods) and punch resistance.
I do believe that this is considered the main eliminator despite Paul Williams beating Walter Matthyse in a eliminator for the same belt. I have heard that the Hatton vs Urkal winner (or Urkal if Hatton doesn't fight him) will have to fight the winner within a certain time frame.

Re: Joel Julio vs Carlos Quintana
a HIGHLY significant fight on the level of last month's classic williams-matthysse unbeaten showdown & would love to see the 2 winners matched up (if not given their own INDIVIDUAL title shots!!)...MightyWarrior wrote:Big test this weekend for hot shot Julio: Quintana is unbeaten and a puncher too - 22-0 (18 kos).

Never seen Quintana but Julio look's something special. He did a better job on Vilches than Hatton, and every shot looks hurtful.
Julio's fight with Robert Kamya was up at light middle and he still was very heavy handed winning in 3.
If Hatton is forced to face Julio he couldn't be rushing in face first against this fella.
