[IronDanHamza]

Poor Quigg



I hope that he won't follow the same way of Víctor Ortiz...

Well Ortiz quit there and then.

Scott fought another 8 rounds with it.

Well done to Frampton,he boxed well.His movement was right up there with the best of them.

What a disappointing fight, both were far to gun-shy and cagey for the first 6 rounds. It didnt really come alive until round 8. I'm so disappointed with Quigg - not sure what the game-plan was but he blew the fight. Far to inactive for too many rounds, he did show when he finally came alive that he was physically much stronger than Frampton, bullying him around the ring and landing some decent shots. If he had started like that early he would have won the fight.

I don't think he could have done that early.

He was clearly cautious of the power, suffered a broken jaw and was taking zero risks. He only got brave down the stretch when Frampton slowed a little.

Even then, in the 12th round when it was important, Frampton came out and put him back in his place with a one sided round.

I disagree. That was a clear tactical plan from Quiggs end rather than Frampton making him fight that way.

As soon as Gallagher told him he was behind he switched on.

As I said, I don't think he could have started that way as a fresh Frampton would have capitalized on it.

Even while tired, Frampton knew the 12th could be important and he went out and won it easily. Made Quigg miss everything, caught him throughout and completely controlled it...I've got no doubt that Frampton would have done more than break Quigg's jaw had he fought like that from the start.

yup the fight changed once Gallagher told Quigg he was far behind on scores. He became much more aggressive and had real success. Frampton came on strong in the 12th because the pace of the fight was so slow, if Quigg had pushed the tempo up from the start I think the fight could have been very different.

"I had it level after four rounds and even though we lost the middle rounds, I couldn't believe it when someone told me TV had us 6-1 down," said Gallagher

So Gallagher thought the fight was even until someone told him otherwise, pretty clueless.

So Frampton got tired the minute that Quigg realised he was behind and switched his style? Nah.

I think Frampton would have still won but Quigg gives himself a much better chance coming out and fighting to his strengths from the start. Framptons defence really isnt very good and Quigg gave him pass over that for 7 rounds. When he stepped it up Framptons shortcomings were much more apparent imo. He didnt look tired to me

I thought he looked very tired in 9, 10 and 11....as he usually does. He stopped moving and stood right there which is not his style.

I don't think Quigg waits that long if he felt he could bully Frampton early. He was overly cautious, got his jaw broke by a counter and was down 7-1. Round 12 would have been the story of the fight had Quigg tried to force it from the start, might even have got stopped.
