I'm not gonna deny, I had Quigg shading it as well. I know most people see it different, but I agree with @denilson200 about fighters being given rounds when they haven't actually gone and won the round.Quote:

Not that I think it was bad decision but I had Quigg wining the fight.Quote:

His trainer waited until the 8th to tell him he was behind 6-1 and then after the fight said he had it 2-all after 4.:confused:Quote:

I suppose the case could be made that it was an 8 or 7 round fight if you called the first 4 or 5 a draw.
Their strategy over the first 6 rounds was not fit for a unification fight of this magnitude. I was expecting a foty candidate. Terrible game plan.
Now they they've finally robbed their faithful fans hopefully one of them will step up to the champ.
Gotta feel sorry for Guillermo Rigondeaux. He must look at these big pay days others are getting, the big fights others are getting and then think 'I'm the best fighter in the division but why am I fighting for chump change against a no name fighter Jazza Dickens"
Even after this, even after the winner of Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg’s clash must face him or relinquish the WBA and IBF belt. He was last name on Frampton or McGuigan lips.
It's what happens when you are born in Cuba. If he was born in Manchester he'd still be carrying multiple belts and he'd be a wealthy man.(well, in a vacuum. Only changing place of birth)Quote:

That still did not explain his slow and negative start.
I am surprised the fans did not start booing earlier.
Fight went as expected for me. Scorecard for Quigg was a shocker but hey this is boxing. Both fighters light years behind Rigo. Pretty glad i couldnt get tickets for this in hindsight.
Some people paid £16.95 for the pleasure.Quote:

What's the point of having a massive engine if you finish the fight with loads left.
The better boxer won. Massive letdown of a fight though.
I pretty much agree with this scoringQuote:

I remember the commentators suggesting quigg had won the 7th but I didn't really think so at the time although he had clearly done better
even though at times Frampton was landing no more than quigg was in the early rounds he was trying to make a fight of it
What an absolute fucking let down that was. Quigg and his teams tactics were a joke plus some of the instruction between rounds was barely amateur.
Yet again im glad I never have to pay to watch these supposed ppv borefests.
Quigg should have rushed him from the off and made it ugly, he showed Frampton way to much respect.
quiggs best chance was to try and bash him up
and before the fight I thought he had a good chance of doing that
Quigg's jaw may have attributed to his tentativeness and his failure to start faster. I thought by round 4 he would start to turn it on. It's a credit to him that he was able to put hands on Frampton and start doing some damage in the late rounds.
Frampton deserved the victory. I cannot see how Quigg was up one that one card?
Quigg's jaw broke in the 4th and can not explain his slow start. Scott and his trainer got their tactics completely wrong.Quote:
