Kiko love for Frampton; But why?

[sunny31]

Fantastic post mate, pretty much covered it to a tee.

My whole thing here is to go by what I've seen and not let the hype cloud my judgment. What I've seen points in the direction of Frampton by wide UD or even stoppage.

The Kiko knockout has got many a little over estimating Quigg IMO.

Just looking at the Kiko fights, I saw Quigg look troubled before landing a perfect shot, which Kiko got up from, and finishing the job. I saw Frampton box circles around Kiko in one fight and one punch stop him in the other.

Frampton has been on the end of flash knockdowns at world level in which he wasn't remotely buzzed, Quigg has been on his back at domestic level...the idea that he's got the better chin is flawed.

Quigg's only chance is through his size. Frampton is more skilled, faster, more intelligent, more varied and can win in a multitude of ways.

Thanks - yeah Quigg is bigger and longer and that makes it dangerous for Frampton. Quigg actually carries power on his long shots as well as short compact shots, and he has some timing.

Frampton will have to be clever and cut the distance in a smart cautious way and avoid jumping in too much, whilst also staying concentrated on the outside. The fight does present danger for Frampton, but if you consider the possible scenarios as you said Frampton can win a few different ways so the odds have to be with him.

Anybody been paying much attention to the buildup? Seems to me Quigg has the mental edge. Also I reckon he's tougher, more fierce, though Frampton's tough too, just not as. Quigg is more thick-headed in general, the insults just bounce off his big skull, Frampton's the more intelligent, and admits to being the sensitive type as a child. He's been more easily riled by the back and forth and it could cost him, I see him channelling some of that rage though and catching Quigg on the way in, round 11. Would love to see a definitive finish, Quigg flat on his back!
