Comments Thread For: Froch-Groves: Quigg is Aiming To Make a Statement

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Scott Quigg has a point to prove when he defends his WBA super-bantamweight title against Diego Silva on Saturday just weeks after battling to a draw in his first defence.

The Bury fighter was disappointed not to get the victory when Yoandris Salinas gave him all he could handle in London last month before the judges ruled their bout a majority draw.

That result tarnished Quigg's celebrations after being upgraded from 'interim' champion to outright belt-holder by the WBA but the unassuming 25-year-old sees Saturday's fight on the Carl Froch v George Groves undercard in Manchester as the ideal chance to make a statement.

The only way Quigg can make a statement is to face the 100% true #1 @ 122Lb Rigo. Quigg is not even the #1 in the UK let allow the World!........

If he's not the UK #1 (which I believe he is, btw), then surely he'd make a statement if he fought the man who you consider to be UK #1?

I think most of these guys are simply keeping their fingers crossed and hoping that Rigo eventually moves up.Everyone has seen the hit that Nonito's buzz in popularity as well as his status as a pound for pound star has taken in the aftermath of Rigo's masterclass performance,you can't really blame promoters from keeping their young stars away.

He'd be making a bigger statement by not beating up a cupcake like Silva and fighting a legitimate contender. Exactly what "statement" is he making by scoring an early KO over a guy who doesn't belong in a title fight in the first place?

Why doesn't Quigg ever fight away from home? If he was Andre Ward he'd be getting all kinds of grief over it.
