Scott Quigg Vs Carl Frampton

[sunny31]

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

Quigg looked tired himself though at the end of the 11th and 12th, his technique started to look disorganised and wide. I think he blew his gasket a bit, he has never fought from round 1-12 at a good pace, I have never seen him do it. He may train all year around and be in the best possible shape for him, but there is a difference between that and being someone who can keep up a pace throw a tonne of punches round after round at championship level. He has never proved he can do that, he has only done it in spurts, and to be honest I don't think he can.

I also think he has a little vulnerability around the whiskers, which is why he doesn't open up too much early in fights, although on that point I will say I was surprised that Frampton never wobbled him and he showed great toughness. He must have some "closet" limitations otherwise he would do what he did in rounds 8-11 against both Salinas and Frampton more consistently. The other observation I will make is that in those late rounds against Frampton, the commentators created more drama than was actually there. They were making out that Quigg was actually dominating the action, when if you go back and watch it those rounds were pretty tit for tat, although Quigg was getting the better of it for sure.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

was a good fight quigg shot himself in the foot with waiting too damn long to get it going.

I question how good joe gallagher really is as a trainer. He admitted that that he thought Quigg was level on points with Frampton until someone told him otherwise. The game plan was all wrong, if they wanted to test Framptons conditioning then they needed to start at a fast pace. Quigg only started boxing in round 8 and his body shots where visibility effecting a tiring Frampton. Had he started sooner I suspect the outcome would have been very different.

Had he started earlier, he'd have been stopped IMO.

I believe they waited for Frampton to slow a little before taking any risks. Quigg was extremely cautious and still got a broken jaw from a counter.

Sky's commentary was a joke.

Jim Watt had Frampton 3 points up with 3 rounds to go, yet after 11 he had Quigg winning by a point....

Didn't Froch also score a draw but after the fight said he thought Frampton won but his card was a draw lol

Yep.

Called it a draw, yet after the fight and on Twitter after he said the right man clearly won. They were trying to give reason to justify a robbery had it happened.

at one point jim said ' quigg didnt do anything that round, so i have to give it to frampton '

WTF?
So if he does do something...then you automatically give it to quigg?

it's embarrassing how bad they are, when you think they can't get any worse....

[BodiesInFlight]

I wonder if it's something they talk about and agree on, to be biased towards the SKY fighter or is it just they can't help themselves.

SKY are the worst culprits for this, much worse than Boxnation pundits/commentators.
