Scott Quigg Vs Carl Frampton

[- Ram Raid -]

Shieet, that ever even occurred to me. Yeah, I reckon there could be something in that. You sure know your stuff, sir, technical and psychological. Like me some Norman Mailer, reading some of his stuff assured me that there was a place for the intellectual in boxing. Wish I had more of an understanding of the technical side, never got to box myself and my hands are buggered these days so I can't take it up for the time being.

Yerr I thought initially it was beyond Quigg's mental capabilities to set a trap! But yes, he spoke of it in The Gloves Are Off and sure enough it was a nice counter shot he caught Kiko with. I just hope team Frampton aren't overlooking him in any sense. It's gonna be one hell of a fight. I'm surprised there's not more interest on here. People are more interested in whether or not Mayweather's a ****sexual haha.

Interesting what you say there about Hatton, I know he battled hard with the depression following those two losses. Both by KO too, must've been hard to take. I suffered something similar, a death of the sense of self as you put it, I was once a very promising blues guitar player, destined for great things, then I injured my hands and that dream died. Very hard to take. But! You come out the other side stronger, it's true what they say. Either that or you end it altogether. Ah well.

Yeah, Barry was something else, such a character, very eloquent, a great lilt to his voice, and like you say, everything he encompassed during that time, fantastic. What other fighters do you like?

The frilliness of Mayweather's under-crackers is definately of more pressing concern than a fight between these two 'euro-bums'! . . . . Jesting aside, this is this first thread I can recall posting in for a long time that isn't being trolled. I'd actually forgotten how pleasant it can be to discuss boxing on here without people have forcefully expressed agendas.

Sad to hear about your hands. I've always respected those who put the time and effort into playing an instrument (especially when it's used to play The Blues!) , partly because I dabble woefully at plucking a few strings now and again. Much to the chagrin of anyone in earshot.

I like most boxers myself. There's usually some aspect of how they go about their craft that I admire or keeps me entertained so it'd be a very long list. It's probably easier to name the few that I don't like:

Wladimir Klitschko
Jamie McDonnell
Gavin McDonnell
Chris Eubank Jr.

Anyone else I enjoy watching or at the very worst I can tolerate. Them four though? Nah.

I picked Frampton in an earlier thread but as the fight is closer i'm letting my heart rule my head and going for Quiggy by KO

About time someone did a RBR thread for this fight. Best fight for the 1st quarter of the year and people haven't really been talking about it

Like both fighters but , I'm going for Frampton
