Frampton vs Quigg: Gloves Are Off!

Tommy Coyle: I think Quigg knocks him out within six rounds. I really like Frampton, I really do, but I just think he’ll come out all guns blazing and Quigg will walk him onto something. I think Quigg is the more powerful of the two. It’ll be exciting while it lasts though, definitely. Stuart Hall: I’ve said Frampton all along. I think he’ll outbox Quigg, he’s got a lot more ability and he’s been in there with the better opposition. When Quigg stopped Kiko Martinez, everyone thought ‘oh, he’s got a lot of power’ and I did agree, and he could well blast Frampton out, we just don’t know. But I really think Frampton will either win on points by a wide margin or get a late stoppage. Gary Lockett: It’s an awkward one for me because I used to train with Quigg, but I think Frampton wins to be honest. I think he’s got more dimensions to his game, and they’ve got an equal amount of power, so I’ve just got a feeling about Frampton. I think it’ll go to the cards, they’re both world class fighters and they can take a punch. I think people have read too much into their last performances, as well. It’s a very evenly matched fight. Gavin McDonnell: It’s a hard one. All along I’ve favoured one at one moment, then the other the next. I would probably lean towards Quigg, off the back of his stoppage over Martinez. If you look at form, he’s probably going in with the advantage. If you look at their last two performances, his is better, he’s going into the fight off a better win. I’m not putting any money on this one. It’s about who turns up on the night at their best. If either one has a slightly off night, that could cost them the fight. Lewis Pettitt: I can’t stop changing my mind, that’s the problem. I thought Quigg for a long, long time, then I changed to Frampton but now, on recent form, I think Quigg wins, but it is a real 50-50 fight. I’ve sparred them both and it really is going to come down to who puts in the performance on the night. They both hit tremendously hard, Frampton has the better boxing skills but Quigg is slightly more unorthodox, he comes at you from different angles and it works. From the sparring, I would say Quigg hits harder but going from what Frampton’s said, he thinks he’s the hardest-hitting super-bantamweight on the planet. I think it’ll end with a stoppage, especially if they both go at it like they say they will. Rendall Munroe: I used to always say Frampton because he was always so aggressive but after watching his last fight, I’m picking Quigg. He looks for what he’s doing more and he doesn’t rush things. Frampton is dead aggressive and he might rush onto something and Quigg definitely has the power to catch him and do damage. The way Quigg boxes is smooth whereas Frampton likes to go in and show power. I think it’ll end up going to the cards. Frankie Gavin: I would just go for Frampton, I think he’s better schooled. I think Quigg is tougher and probably hits harder, but Frampton has the better skill-set. It’s the best fight in British boxing right now. Eddie Chambers: Quigg is great at closing the distance and he’s also a student of the game. I’ve seen him train first-hand and I’m picking him because of his attitude and dedication to the sport. Gavin Reid: Quigg is certainly the harder puncher of the two, but Frampton has improved so much since then, so it’s such a hard fight to call. If I had to pick a winner, I’d say Quigg because that was my instinct back then. He had the power that impressed me and a tremendous workrate. His power didn’t dip from the first round, and he showed no signs of easing up. But anyone would be crazy to write off Frampton. He too had power, and he would be able to make adjustments because of his level of skill. He is the more polished of the two. John Murray: It’s such a tough fight to call. I’m going to go with Frampton. Looking at their recent form, Quigg certainly has the advantage but Frampton has a lot more natural ability and my brother, Joe, has done a bit of sparring with him and said he looks massively up for this one, he really, really wants it. I think Frampton will stop him in the 10th round. Tyson Fury: It’s a good fight, a 50-50 fight. It all depends on who brings the better game plan on the night. Who will it be, Shane McGuigan or Joe Gallagher ? We’ll see. Both of them would lose to Guillermo Rigondeaux though. Lee Selby: I’d have to go with Frampton. He could do it either way, on the cards or via stoppage. If it goes to the cards I’d definitely favour Frampton – he’s a better all-round boxer, he has a lot more natural ability than Quigg. He’s also got that amateur pedigree, which Quigg doesn’t have. Frampton’s used to big stage too, having fought on ITV and headlining big shows. Kiko Martinez: I think is going to be a very good fight and hard for both of them. Frampton is a better boxer than Quigg, I think that he can win the fight on the scorecards. Tony Bellew: I go for Frampton because although Quigg is a bigger puncher, I think that Frampton is possibly the better punch-picker, but what I will say is that the fight can end early either way I just believe that both are very vulnerable at the weight. I think Frampton picks that better punch especially early doors as well, but like I say it can end either way. Quigg has been in that weight since he was like 16 and you have got to ask yourself how much it takes from his body each and every time and Frampton is massive at the weight too. It’s definitely a 50/50, it could go either way I only edge towards Frampton because I believe he is the best punch picker. Nick Blackwell : Frampton 100%. I think he is the better boxer, and has the better boxing brain. Leo Santa Cruz: I see Carl Frampton vs. Scott Quigg as a 50-50 fight. It’s a tough fight for both of them. I think whoever catches the other guy first will get the victory. They both can hit and they both have great skills. It could go either way.

Quigg is too stupid to do these things. 'People underestimate my thinking brain' - :lol1: Frampton was just there to get it out of the way. Although his comment at the end was funny. 'His biggest weakness? His lack of intelligence outside the ring transfers over into the ring' Quigg is a boxer, not a scholar. No point in doing these kinds of things for Frampton/Quigg, the fight sells itself and neither are good trash talkers. Anyway Quigg came off better here imo, Frampton started looking very shifty & blatantly lied when Quigg brought up the gym stories. Quigg just needs to follow Gallaghers instructions, he doesn't need to write a novel in there.

'His biggest weakness? His lack of intelligence outside the ring transfers over into the ring' Yeah that line was the highlight of the episode, but I thought the same thing... Quigg doesn't really come across as particularly articulate or intelligent, might be because of how early he stopped his education, that being said I'm picking him to win though. Another example is Chad Dawson, very talented and skilled but not very intelligent and it led to him making some very silly decisions inside the ring, most notably going toe to toe with Stevenson right after being destroyed by Ward, another give away is the names he gave his children lol.

Good watch, but rather dull arguing. Should be a good fight despite who's "boxing brain" is superior lol There's another video out there of Nelson telling Quigg to his face that he is going with Frampton.

I said this in the other thread, it's the music which is the problem. Listen to the music, it sounds like they're about to break into some sort of church hymn at any moment. I nearly turned it off right at the beginning because of that garbage music, it got me yawning. They're trying to imitate the HBO Face Off music but they got the chord style completely wrong. Even the HBO Face Off music isn't great but at least it's dark, ominous and creates more of a threatening mood. This music makes it seem like they're two priests about to have a Sunday morning debate about the relevance of John 1:15 to modern society. They completely ruined it with the music, need to crucify the sound guy on public tv.

lol adam smith.. that would be a disaster, he'd crawl under the table the weirdo . they dont do it like max kellerman does with the hbo version. its just something missing from it. either johnny isnt asking the right questions or the two fighters are dull. lets be fair, the americans have big gobs so can make it interesting

embarassing gloves are off episode. two fighters who are talented but have zero personality between them. It was a waste of money to produce this and johnny nelson needs to fack off too. cant stand the caant :lol1: I would like Adam Smith instead of Nelson.

also scott quigg displays just how slow he really is in this episode. i feel for the guy but his trash talk game is weak and frampton didnt have the game either to expose him.

This will be an early contender for FOTY :boxing:
