John Duddy & Peter Quillin: Super
Middleweights Still Undefeated
By David Pambianchi
In 1928, the Beacon Theatre opened to “Silent
Films,” a majestic realm of white, grey and
brown marble, polished bronze, and Art Deco
design, but on May 18, 2007, John Duddy faced
Dupre Strickland, and Peter Quillin met Victor
Paz, with nothing silent about it.
For the scheduled ten rounds Main Event,
cheering, hopeful Irish fans looked for that
Duddy flurry and quick knockout, and it looked
like they might get it after a knockdown in the
first. But a tough Dupree can take punches and
cut-man, “Big George Mitchell,” snapped into
work early with bleeding over Duddy’s right eye
in the second round.
Round upon round, the routine continued
throughout the fight with Duddy scoring better,
most effectively connecting with a hard right to
Dupre’s midsection and left rib cage, then
following with the left jab or hook to Dupre’s
head. On it went until the inevitable unanimous
decision for John Duddy.
Earlier this Friday night, amid the theatre’s 30
foot warrior statues, martial motifs of lions,
chariot relief’s, Coat of Arms, helmets and
swords, scheduled for 6 rounds, Victor Paz
faced a super charged Peter Quillin for a
different sequence of action.
Victor Paz bravely stood his ground, but Quillin
unleashed an indescribable fury of speed,
power and devastating accuracy, punching lefts
and rights around Victor’s gloves and winning by
TKO 58 seconds into the second round. That’s
it, except for Peter’s candy-toss to spectators
after the fight.
