Carlos Quintana’s huge upset of Paul Williams to win the WBO welterweight title on Saturday night seriously affects the futures of both men.
Quintana is now a serious player in the welterweight division, while Williams’ must regroup and, at best, hope for a rematch.
Promoter Lou DiBella said Quintana is going to take a much needed rest and then return to action around June or July. DiBella would be willing to make a rematch with Williams, but doesn't think Williams should continue his career in the welterweight division. Williams weighed 146.5 at the weigh-in on Friday and came to ring at 164 pounds.
"Carlos is going to take a rest and then we want to get him another big fight. We would fight Williams again, but why would he want to. He should never fight at welterweight again," DiBella said. "Cotto is fighting in April and the winner of Cintron-Margarito will fight Cotto in July. We'd love to fight Shane Mosley. If Oscar De La Hoya doesn't put his fight on regular HBO, we would love to fight Oscar at 150-pounds on pay-per-view. He's probably looking at June or July (to return). We are going to stay busy and wait for a big fight."
Look for the Mosley fight to happen. He wants a May opponent, could be an option and currently in talks with Zab Judah and Ricardo Mayorga, but a title shot may sway him to Quintana.
