Quigg: In a Frampton Rematch I Will Start Out Much Quicker

By Victor Salazar 

New York - Idle since his fight with Carl Frampton this February, Scott Quigg (33-1-2, 29 KO's) is looking to make his return before year's end. Though he acknowledges the defeat to Frampton, it didn't come with minor regrets the way the fight played out.

"The first three or four rounds we were tactical because we know Frampton is very good early on," Quigg told BoxingScene.com.

"We weren't busy enough and were careful. I wasn't using the left jab enough. We were suppose to be defensive and it didn't work, he was looking busier so we can understand why he was giving the early rounds. In hindsight if we put the pressure on early the fight would have been mine."

Quigg suffered a broken jaw in the fight but ironically enough fought better with a crack in his jaw late and nearly came back on the cards in his fight with Framption.

"It was weird," Quigg said of his broke jaw in the fight. "It wasn't painful but every time I moved it, it had its own mind. When it first went I didn't know how painful it was going to be so I went more defensive. But then when i first got hit on it in the sixth round, I got hit with an uppercut where people think it broke my jaw but really it was a right hand in the 4th round."

"In the 6th my jaw snapped and it went completely numb. So from that point on, me trainer told me Sky had me 6-1 down, from that point on I started applying pressure, I took control of the fight. Tactically we got it wrong early on, had we started earlier the fight would have been different."

In defeat especially coming back with a broken jaw didn't hurt Quigg and he can jump right back in the mix for more big fights.

"It was a big fight," Frampton said. "It was good to be involved in that massive occasion a I learned from that. I want more of those nights.The fight to Frampton didn't hurt my profile. I was out months with the broken jaw I'm still a big name and I'm back training because I know a big fight is coming my way.

Ultimately, he wants to avenge his only loss.

"Someone beat you, you want to avenge that. As a kid I was taught to avenge my loss and that's what I want to do."
