San Diego’s Own Amaris “Diamond Girl” Quintana Looks to Stay Busy!
San Diego light flyweight Amaris Quintana (7-2-2, 2KOs) is just glad to be back in the ring. After earning her last win in early April over Susan Reno of San Diego, the “Diamond Girl” is back in the ring a mere sixty days since her last fight, he fastest turn-around of her career since her first two fights back in 2009.
“That is the plan, trying to stay active and get as many fights in 2014,” Quintana shared. “Hopefully we can get back to another title shot at 105 or 108 pounds but first we have to stay busy.”
In October of 2013 Quintana got a taste of a world title bout when she challenged current IFBA light flyweight champion Sindy Amador of Riverside. Quintana fell short via a closely contested ten-round unanimous decision. The championship fight was a rematch of their first face-off back in the spring of 2012 which Amador also took with a unanimous decision. Those two losses are the only ones in Quintana’s record.
