Quigg: Frampton Didn't Look That Good, 100% I'll Win

By Edward Chaykovsky

Scott Quigg (31-0-2, 23KOs) was disappointed with Carl Frampton's twelve round decision win over Alejandro Gonzalez Jr. last month in Texas. Frampton (21-0, 14KOs) went down twice in the first round and had some trouble, but eventually found his grove to dominate the action to retain his IBF super bantamweight crown.

On the same July night, across the ocean in Manchester, Quigg retained his WBA 'regular' belt when he demolished former champion Kiko Martinez in two rounds.

“He wasn’t at his best. He didn’t look that good. He got put down by two nothing shots in my eyes. He didn’t perform anything like the way the McGuigans build him up to what they think he is," Quigg told Newsletter.

Quigg is currently over in Hollywood training at the Wild Card Gym, which is owned by Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach.

He hopes the fight with Frampton will still happen at some point. Quigg wants to avoid the wrath of the UK fans if the blockbuster fight never happens.

“It’s a fight I want to be involved with and I want to prove I’m the best and, 100 percent, I believe I beat him. But I won’t be disappointed because it’s not fault of mine why that fight’s not happening. Again, if they came to me and offered me 1.5 million and if I would’ve turned the offer down, what then? I would’ve been getting slayed. So it’s no fault of mine why this fight’s not happening again. I just want the big fights. My career doesn’t revolve around Carl Frampton," Quigg said.
