Trainer Eric Brown guided middleweight Peter Quillin to a title-winning decision over Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam before coaching WBA junior welterweight titleholder Paulie Malignaggi to a split-decision over Pablo Cesar Cano.

Paulie Malignaggi was glad he fought before his hometown fans at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but disappointed with the narrow decision, the CompuBox scoring and the fact that rival Pablo Cesar Cano failed to make the 147-pound division limit. 

Palbo Cesar Cano's next fight could be at 140 pounds, despite his inability to make the 147-pound limit for Saturday night's split-decision loss to Paulie Malignaggi.
