Scorecard: Daniel Jacobs makes statement with spectacular KO win

— -- A roundup of the past week's notable boxing results from around the world:

Saturday at New York

Daniel Jacobs TKO1 "Kid Chocolate" Peter Quillin
Retains a middleweight title
Records: Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs); Quillin (32-1-1, 23 KOs)

Rafael's remarks: Well, that was quick, wasn't it? The battle for Brooklyn turned out to be a mere skirmish as Jacobs, the underdog, blew Quillin away in just 85 seconds for the biggest win of his career. He retained his secondary 160-pound title for the third time (Gennady Golovkin owns the organization's top-tier belt) and he did it in supremely impressive fashion against his neighborhood pal.

Jacobs, 28, and former titleholder Quillin, 32, have been friends for years. They go back to their teenage years when they were top New York amateurs and even spent some time sparring with each other. But over the past few years, especially when the Barclays Center opened in 2012 and began hosting big-time boxing on a regular basis, the fight was something a lot of people talked about. It was inevitable and when the fight was made, both men put their friendship on hold, although they remained respectful throughout the buildup to the fight.

But once it began, both men -- who earned $1.5 million apiece -- came out with the obvious intention to hurt the other guy and the fireworks began immediately. But it was Jacobs who got through with a well-placed right hand that really hurt Quillin, who staggered into the ropes. Jacobs let his hands fly and continued to catch Quillin with punishing punches. He hurt him to the head with both hands and uppercuts and to the body and Quillin was in deep trouble as he attempted to clinch. But Jacobs kept winging shots and was particularly effective with his right hand. Quillin tried to fight back but Jacobs overpowered him and continued to land. The final punch was a brutal right hand on Quillin's temple that really messed him up. The punch took away his equilibrium and sent him hopping around in crazy fashion as he could not control his legs. Quillin was in terrible condition, unable to control his legs and his eyes were glazed over, and referee Harvey Dock did the only thing that he could do -- step in and call off the fight much to the disappointment of the 8,442 in attendance. But he did not have the option of issuing a standing eight-count because it's not permitted under the unified rules of boxing, which covers title bouts. So he made the right call because Quillin, who did not complain about the stoppage, would have likely been knocked out cold moments later.

It was a tough loss for Quillin (who landed only two punches to Jacobs' 27, per CompuBox punch statistics) but a glorious victory for Jacobs, who only three years ago did not know if would live or die as he battled -- and eventually beat -- a rare form of bone cancer. There was some talk about a rematch, which Jacobs said he would be happy to give Quillin, but that is unlikely. Quillin, who has had issues making weight at times, could move up to super middleweight. Jacobs could wind up in a unification fight next year with the winner of the Dec. 19 fight between titlist Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders. Whatever happens next for Jacobs, he is the King of Brooklyn and one of the best middleweights in the world.

Jesus Cuellar W12 Jonathan Oquendo
Retains a featherweight title
Scores: 120-107, 116-111 (twice)
Records:Cuellar (28-1, 21 KOs); Oquendo (26-5, 16 KOs)

Rafael's remarks: On paper this fight seemed like a good, solid match that would probably be entertaining. Instead it was a terrible fight. Its total lack of entertainment value was mostly on Oquendo, who basically ran and backed up rather than engage with Cuellar, a 28-year-old southpaw from Argentina who came forward and was much busier.

Oquendo, 32, of Puerto Rico, did not seem to want any part of him. This was a massive disappointment less than three months after his career-best upset win in a majority decision against former titlist Jhonny Gonzalez on Sept. 12 on the Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto undercard.

Cuellar retained his secondary world title for the second time (Leo Santa Cruz is the organization's top-tier featherweight titleholder) and had little issue doing so. He went after Oquendo round after round, firing right hooks and straight left hands. It was a surprise that two of the judges could find a few rounds to give Oquendo. According to CompuBox punch statistics, Cuellar landed 237 of 994 punches (24 percent), and Oquendo landed 167 of 639 (26 percent).

Cuellar got credit for a knockdown by referee Ricky Gonzalez in the fourth round even though Showtime's television replays showed that the reason Oquendo hit the deck was because he tripped over Cuellar's foot. It says a lot about a fight when even a knockdown wasn't all that exciting. In the end, Cuellar won easily and could move on to a fight next year with Santa Cruz, which sounds great on paper. But where have we heard that before?

Chris Algieri W10 Erick Bone
Welterweight
Scores: 97-92 (twice), 95-94
Records: Algieri (21-2, 8 KOs); Bone (16-3, 8 KOs)

Rafael's remarks: Algieri, the 31-year-old former junior welterweight world titleholder and crowd favorite from Huntington, New York, looked good as he ended a two-fight losing streak that began with a one-sided decision loss challenging then-welterweight titleholder Manny Pacquiao 13 months ago, followed by a competitive decision loss to Amir Khan on May 29.

Fighting for the third time at the Barclays Center -- site of his world title victory against Ruslan Provodnikov in June 2014 and the loss to Khan -- Algieri had speed, straight punches and accuracy that carried the day against a game Bone. Although Algieri outboxed and outpunched Bone, he did get tagged. By the sixth round, Algieri was sporting a nasty shiner under his left eye courtesy of a solid connect from Bone.

Algieri widened his lead in the eighth round when he scored a clean knockdown, albeit on a right hand that landed on Bone's shoulder. But Bone, 26, of Ecuador, was knocked off balance and went down even though it was obvious he was not hurt by the punch. There were some exciting exchanges late in the fight that Algieri got the better of as he won in his second fight with trainer John David Jackson after firing Tim Lane in the wake of the disaster against Pacquiao. According to CompuBox punch statistics, Algieri landed 247 of 645 punches (38 percent) and Bone connected on 185 of 694 (27 percent). Algieri is bound to get another major fight while Bone, a good fighter, lost his second bout in a row. In March, he took a fight on two days' notice against former welterweight titleholder Shawn Porter and was stopped in the fifth round.

Marcus Browne TKO4 Francisco Sierra
Cruiserweight
Records: Browne (17-0, 13 KOs); Sierra (27-10-1, 24 KOs)

Rafael's remarks: Browne, 25, a 2012 U.S. Olympian from Staten Island, New York, is an excellent-looking prospect who is steadily moving up the ladder and continues to fight experienced competition such as Sierra, 27, of Mexico. Although Browne campaigns as a light heavyweight he fought at 177.4 pounds while Sierra, who was 183, was way more than the contract limit of 178. Regardless, Browne looked very good and is probably not far away from facing a legitimate contender.

Browne dominated from the outset when he landed a sharp right hand in the first round to slice open a terrible cut over Sierra's left eye. It poured blood down Sierra's face and chest and got steadily worse as the fight went along. One second after the bell rang to begin the fourth round, referee Earl Brown called a timeout and asked the ringside doctor to examine the cut. It was deemed it too severe for the fight to continue, and Brown waved it off. It was another convincing win for Browne, who seems to be on his way to greater glory.

Saturday at Los Mochis, Mexico

Jhonny Gonzalez W12 Futa Nakagishi
junior lightweight
Scores: 119-112, 119-109, 119-104
Records: Gonzalez (59-10, 49 KOs); Nakagishi (20-6-1, 11 KOs)

Rafael's remarks: On Sept. 12, Gonzalez, 34, of Mexico, lost a majority decision in a big upset to Jonathan Oquendo on the Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto undercard. In his first fight since, Gonzalez, a former bantamweight and featherweight world titleholder, took on Nakagishi, 28, of Japan, who also goes by the name Hurricane Futa.

Although the fight lacked the usual fireworks that Gonzalez fights usually produce, he rolled to the lopsided decision against Nakagishi, who was fighting outside of Asia for the first time.
