Latimore, 26, came out aggressively in rounds one and two. His power was evident, as was his speed. Quintana used the ring to size up his younger opponent. In round three he began open up. His combinations weren’t powerful, but kept finding Latimore’s chin. Quintana kept using angles and finding a home for his left hand. Rounds four and five found Quintana even more aggressive.
Latimore looked befuddled in round five and completely outclassed in round six. The 35-year-old Quintana backed Latimore into the ropes and unloaded a combination that staggered his younger opponent. Quintana’s final left knocked Latimore down. The Missouri native struggled to get up but couldn’t make it.
Time was 2:19 seconds of round six. Quintana landed 108 punches to 55 for Latimore.
Jessie Vargas (19-0, 9 KOs) used his strong left and occasional right hand to win a unanimous decision over Steve Forbes (35-11, 11 KOs) in the second televised fight at the MGM Grand Arena.
