No both are coasting. More concerned about Quinlan who is coasting to a loss

Quinlan waits on one shot counter punches when he really should fight like Josh Emmett and pressure to set the KOs up, especially against a taller, rangier guy.

I don't care how confident Quinlan is in his striking, if he wants to win this fight he needs to start shooting for TD alot more.

2-0 Barlow.
