[edit] Professional career

Known as "El Indio", Quintana turned pro in 1997 and has won all 23 of his professional fights, including 18 by way of KO. Although he is an undefeated prospect, bouts of inactivity throughout his career have resulted in a slow progression to the top of his division. In June of 2006 he notched by far the biggest win of his career, against highly regarded prospect Joel Julio, by unanimous decision. The win set up a shot at the Vacant WBA Welterweight Title against phenom Miguel Angel Cotto, who moved up in weight from Light Welterweight. That fight ended on the fifth round the winner by TKO was Cotto after Quintana quit on his stool prior to the 6th round.
