[edit] Professional career
Known as "El Indio", Quintana turned pro in 1997 and won his first 23 professional fights, including 18 by way of KO. Although he remained undefeted, bouts of inactivity throughout his career 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 Miguel Angel Cotto, who moved up in weight from Light Welterweight. That fight ended with Cotto winning by TKO after Quintana quit on his stool prior to the 6th round.
