      Yes I wanted a rematch and yes that's true about Valdez. Just feel Quigg didn't do himself justice with his career

        Valdez was the one that went to the hospital, and Framp hasn't looked so good.

          Quigg is one of a few guys I've seen, that could break people up, and still lose. I've seen several guys win, and look like they lost, but to really hurt somebody and lose, really lose. Valdez beat him on the way to the emergency room. Quigg didn't win, but he left his mark.

            I feel disappointed with Quiggs career. He worked really hard up to a point and then just seemed to stay at a level. I'm sure he could have done better. That fight with Frampton was pretty close then he just seemed to lose it after that
            His discipline enabled him to cut to a weight where usually enjoyed size and length advantages but he lost the frampton fight primarily because of Gallagher's tactics.
            I think he levelled out, as you say, because that was the limit of his talent?

              I don't think feel that. We all saw he could have beaten Frampton with different tactics. Maybe he just needed a better trainer.

                Yes, I agree that he could have (possibly) beaten frampton with better tactics. Frampton was a good a good example of a fight where quigg enjoyed significant height and length advantages actually. However, quiggs technical boxing level and IQ were the reason for his levelling out imo e.g. didn't beat Valdez despite (again) enjoying significant physical advantages.
                Just my opinion though, thanks.

                  Best of luck for him, I always find it cool when former fighters start to train fighters

                  They have the experience, knowledge and all that.

                  Not all fighters make for a good trainer of course, but I hope he will do well
