frampton is far from trash he hasnt even hit prime yet as for you thinking santa cruz beats him I reckon you must have taken a punch to the head from golovkin himself

Frampton is trash. ANY of the top fighters embarrasses the hell out of him. Leo, Loma, Walters... EVEN NONITO right now revives his career with this midget.

Quigg didn't look good, he looked absolutely awful until he landed a booming uppercut from nowhere. He didnt look great on the backfoot but it worked and he did what he needed to do. Not like he got mullered first round

I totally blanked on that fight. Good to hear Quigg looked good. It's hard to say that Quigg did great because the fight simply didn't last that long. He didn't really get to showcase his skillset like I thought he would've needed to. However, he did land a picture perfect uppercut iirc and jumped on Kiko when he had him hurt. Kiko was stalking and Quigg was moving and countering, that's the fight in a nutshell.

Get involved via #bbcboxing Paul Mulligan: Sounds like Frampton really struggled to make the weight tonight - clearly impacted preparations. Could jeopardise a Quigg fight. Not sure if it was making the weight that was the problem, or how they went about it. He did say they left it too late to take off the last few lbs, and also that they might have to see about moving up. Generally though, I think they'll go about making the weight better next time and be fine.

Gotta give Quigg credit for his win though. Martinez looked good first round so i don't reckon he was shot. Just got caught with a great uppercut and was done from there. I totally blanked on that fight. Good to hear Quigg looked good.

Have to give the kid credit. He got his ass beat and took some massive bombs, but he was tough as nails. Frampton clinching on the inside made little sense when he has T-Rex arms. I truly think he could've stopped him, but yes, Gonzales toughed it out and got his name in the mix @122.

Well Quigg won more impressively today..against a higher caliber opponent...maybe they should call bk see if fights still on the table... Frampton already beat Martinez. Twice.

Not keen on Frampton moving up to Featherweight. Needs to work out a way to stay down at SbW

Great fire fight. Frampton outskilled him in the end but Gonzales looked tough as hell and very talented. Hopefully he can regroup.

Dare I say that this was the best fight on PBC thus far? I don't know, the fight on CBS before the Rances Bart was really good.

Nah, Thurman/Guerrero was better. I think DeGale/Dirrell was as well, but I wouldn't say it definitely was. Fair enough, it was entertaining nonetheless
