My friends (casual barometers) have been asking about the fight, which is a good sign!

Watching that Media Tour program on sky, cant help but feel that Quigg has the mental edge just due to the fact that he is too dense to insult.
I like Quigg he seems a nice bloke, but that guy is not winning Mastermind any time soonComment

The hype is simmering nicely at the moment, But I'm sure by Thursday things will start moving into gear.

If the fight goes down the stretch and he hasn't been steadily picked off by then I'd see that being Quiggs best hope - imposing himself physically. Frampton switches angles, slips punches, in all has a good amount of movement that Quigg doesn't consistently show. It's superior boxing but it does burn up more energy and that could be a factor the longer the fight goes on.Originally posted by typeone View PostStyles make fights, And your **** on the button, Stylistically Frampton should take the fight. His movement his selection of punches are way beyond that of Quigg IMO.
Why I give Quigg the even chance, Is that Quigg to me is the stronger fighter, The Bigger fighter, And that of the better engine, Coupled with the fact,that he has been given the role of the slight under dog, Will/has only push him to champion his heart and belief to even greater heights.
Plus I'm a sucker for an "underdog"
I can't help comparing this fight to when John Murray fought Anthony Crolla though. I had Murray for that one. I felt he'd be too strong, I'm sure in no small part because I wanted him to win the contest. Crolla surprised me that night.
What I have noticed in the build up is Frampton has referred to his career in the past tense on a couple of occasions, gazing backwards upon it. It may well just be the Belfast vernacular, but there are certainly aspects of the sport that he no longer likes. Training for instance and the fact that it keeps him away from his young family. His house does look very comfortable.
Quigg's an altogether different case. Sat on the couch of his Mum's terraced house he's still very much a hungry fighter. I'm not stating that Frampton isn't but he clearly has to tap into his reserves of will to get up in the morning and put himself through training. Will is finite, it depletes and has to be restored. That in itself can be draining.
Quigg looks like he enjoys what he does so much that he rarely needs to will himself to get out of the door and put himself through another day of gruelling preparations. The man is in the gym as normal on a Christmas Day if it doesn't fall on a Sunday!
We're playing percentages in terms of the actual difference that could make come fight night. But if it develops into a war, do you think the man who hasn't started to drain at his will in the build up also holds a slight edge, however marginal?Comment
