K. B. Hallen; Copenhagen, Denmark
Johnny Bredahal 15-0 (5) Denmark
vs.
Jose Quirino 28-6 (9) Mexico WBO
The 1988 Olympian from Denmark, Johnny Bredahl, came into the ring at “K.B. Hallen” with no muscle tone and did not physically look strong. Rumors had been circulating that he had extreme difficulty in making the weight. The virtually unknown WBO titlist Jose Quirino, however appeared very nervous, perhaps intimidated by the loud Copenhagen crowd cheering in support of Bredahl, who was a 2-1 favorite to win the title.
- After tiring badly in his 10 round decision victory over Armando Castro last month, Bredahl devoted more of his training camp to roadwork. It didn’t show in the fight however, as Bredahl was breathing through his mouth as early as the 4th round.
- Bredahl was dropped by a Quirino combination in the 2nd round.
- After 6 rounds Ringside Expert, Rocco Del Sesto, had it 58-55 for Quirino.
- Bredahl had his best round since the fight started in the 9th, when he hurt Quirino with a straight right hand.
- After 10 rounds Ringside Expert, Rocco Del Sesto, had it 96-93 for Quirino.
- Neither fighter was cut or marked up when the final bell rang.
- Punch stat numbers favored Quirino 324 to 223.
- The judges had it: 114-113 Quirino, 116-113 Bredahl (!), and….115-112 for the winner and …..STILL WBO CHAMPION…..JOSE QUIRINO!
