In the first championship fight of the night, Paul Williams regained the WBO welterweight title by beating Carlos Quintana with a first-round TKO.
In early February, the 31-year old Quintana (25-2) earned a unanimous decision over Williams (34-1) to win the title and hand Williams the lone loss of his professional career in his first title defense.
