Fighting in the backyard of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, Calif., Carlos Quintana, 20-0 (16 KOs), Moca, Puerto Rico, 148 stopped Francisco Campos, 19-4-1 (10 KOs), Cartago, Costa Rica, 148 as the fight was halted after six one-sided rounds on ESPN’s Tuesday Night Fights.

The southpaw Quintana appeared to use Campos as a low-paid sparring partner, easily mixing his punches throughout.

Although there were no knockdowns, Quintana ran away with each round and at virtually no point was the outcome in doubt. In rounds five and six he stepped up the attack, leading to the sensible stoppage.

Campos, who until recently was usually seen as a junior welterweight or lightweight, has now lost four of his last five bouts, three by knockout.

Quintana, 28, figures to move on to stiffer opposition soon in order to gain a ranking in the welterweight division.
