The Golden Child, Daniel ‘Danny’ Jacobs landed a straight right uppercut to Quillin before following it up with lofty punches whiles his opponent back was against the ropes forcing referee Harvey Dock to stop the fight.
“That’s right on the temple. In the moment you don’t know what happens until you see it in the replay. This is a time you sit with your family and figure out what you have to do. I have lot of options; maybe a rematch is the best option. I can’t think of a better person to lose to Danny Jacobs,” Quillin said.
Jacobs also expressed his love and respect for Quillin.
“I hope he’s Ok. I was patient and patient and when I came with an uppercut I knew I hurt him and that’s when I went for the kill. I told him I love him,” Jacobs said.
“I and Peter go back to the Golden Glove days. I respect him to death, but I knew this fight would be my night. There are no lucky shots in boxing. Obviously, I caught him with a shot. Once I knew I had him hurt I kept going,” the Golden Child said.
Daniel Jacobs’s record now stands at 32 fights, 31 wins, 1 loss, and 28 knockouts.
