Comments Thread For: Carl Frampton Grabs Split Nod Over Scott Quigg To Unify Belts

[hitking]

we all knew that before these guys even stepped in the ring. rigo is still king but hes not getting any younger and not top guys are in a hurry to fight him

Sounds like a familar story. Difference is this one is non-fiction.

[sharpe]

was rigo in the audience? Seems like a missed opportunity to get some exposure and get the fans interested.

He could have got in the ring and started calling frampton a ***** or something

A bout I wish I could have seen live on tv...sounds as if it was a dandy...

Wasn't Martinez the same Joker who gifted Canelo the fight vs Lara? Good thing he didn't get to fk this one up.

So was it a "split nod" like the title suggests, or a "unanimous decision" like the first sentence reads?

[Tomjas]

I notice that Frampton didn't mention Rigondeaux's name after the fight and cant say I blame him as the Cuban is several levels above

As others have said, a very disappointing fight which Quigg basically gifted to Frampton by hardly throwing a punch for at least 7 rounds

Frampton wasn't much better but at least he threw something

Glad that I didn't have to pay for it and cant imagine why anybody would pay to see a rematch

It was kind of a Garcia-Peterson fight....the man who actually landed punches and won more clear rounds in the few rounds that were a real boxing match gave away too many early rounds by fighting like a scared idiot even though the opponent wasn't even giving him a reason to respect him.
Quigg=Peterson
Frampton =Garcia
Decision=probably fair in terms of points, but both guys should feel like losers.

If these guys are top fighters, boxing is in a sad place.

When a guy fights at home all the time, he loses a sense of urgency. He is used to getting credit for potential and style, and winning close and not so close encounters. Maybe Quigg will get out of the house now. It will take a big win to get him back into the money, and who are they going to lure without a title?

[Straightener]

First 4 / 5 rounds were a give away ?

If he would have put the heat on frampton early things would different

Joe Gallagher lacked urgency in my eyes he basically said your doing fine to quigg when in reality he was doing f**k all the first half of the fight

Anyway respect to frampton . He deserved the win

Rigondeauxs still in Russia unfortunately.

Just come back from the arena, ****ing amazing atmosphere. Quigg shat himself, the pressure of so many Irish heads got to him and I'm not even Irish lol
