Thread: Frampton v Quigg - February 27th 2016 Manchester Arena

I may go and watch this one, still like both fighters a cracker this one, I will have to start to
save some money to go.

We just had anticipated press conferences between AJ-Whyte/Jr-Spike where nothing happened.

Frampton and Quiggs mob have genuine "hate" for each other.

This was an excellent little doc from SKY. Quigg is not as divvy as he sounds, has a comeback for everything. As much as Frampton denies it he can't hide it when seething. I don't like Barry McGuigan much anymore, comes across as a right wanker to me.

I've got a feeling Frampton is gonna get battered quickly by Quigg

Massive fight weekend. Stacked.

I love Barry, love the Irish and war Frampton!

I have to watch more of each of these guys. I thought Frampton had a fair point that Quigg looked shaky until he landed that big shot on Kiko, maybe hard to take much from that but I haven't seen either of his fights with the guy mind you. Also thought the guy who had Frampton in trouble last time out looked pretty good.

I wonder if there was any talk of putting Rigondeaux on the undercard of this? Seems weird that he's fighting a showcase type of fight in his first trip to the UK so soon after and on a smaller bill. THey could have paid him the same and just thrown it on this one I'm sure.

Rigo is fighting on a UK rival promoters card (Frank Warren), it's not really a showcase it's about who will have him. If Matchroom (the Quigg-Frampton promoter) wanted him they would/could easily.

Yeah , Barry and his "Forensic knowledge." I've got to say, Barry's a sap, so is Joe Gallacher tbf. It's funny cos I like Both boxers, and I've got a lot of time for Shane McGuigan .
I'm looking forward to this so much, the only problem I've got is that you always want to be supporting a boxer massively. I edge towards wanting Quigg to win , but only because of Barry. If Frampton won, I can't say I'd be gutted.
Maybe I need to bet on Quigg to give me that edgy feel.

I'm the same. As much as I love this fight I like/support both fighters.

I like Quigg more than Frampton, he gets unfair shit and comes across as a nice fella, but think Frampton will win. After rewatching several of their fights lately, I was contemplating backing Frampton by KO but felt a bit guilty (by fight night the sentiment will be sqaushed whoever I back)

Always been a big Quigg fan and while I always thought it would be close I am beginning to think that Frampton is going to be walked onto something big early. What Frampton and the McGuigans think is arrogance from Gallagher and Hearn is really success. Whatever you think of them personally, they have the figures and facts to back it up. Gallagher's gym and the run he put together with his fighters was truly impressive, whether you think that is down to his tactics, training methods, or the fact that he has the cream of the crop when it comes to British Fighters is kind of irrelevant. It gives him a bit of credence when he backs his fighter. The same with Hearn. He may have inherited the business, but Barry could learn a lot from him about promotion and you can see that irks him. Going to be a blast come fight weekend.

I want Quigg to win, I think Frampton will win on points

I like Barry Mcguigan, he was probably the reason I got into boxing in the first place and the only real fight nights I watched with my dad

I still want quigg to win tho

the undercard isn't amazing is it, they could have at least put one decent fight on it

That is why I like Frampton because of Barry and the good times he gave us on BBC.

Shane is the spitting image of his dad.

The Mcguigans are building a decent little crew and I lile Shanes training style.
Still think Quigg wins this early by KO though.
I think he'll come out like a windmill and smash Frampton to pieces.

This is a bit dull because it's obvious both fighters have the utmost respect for each other.

Frampton alluded to something here which I believe is the biggest factor in the fight. Quigg can't fight going backwards, Frampton is equally effective going either way.
