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.
I agree Quigg should have come out aggressive but it began pretty much as I expected (although I didn't dream it would be so dull). I thought Frampton would box smart and safe early with Quigg starting to connect cleanly from around the 4th round on wards. Unfortunately he didn't start doing damage until around the 8th.

Scott hardly threw anything so do not know what he was playing at early.
Did you see his face drop when he was told he was losing. His broken jaw nearly hit the ground.

Finally got to watch the fight. Gutted for Quigg because he proved that he is more than capable of taking rounds off Frampton when he put his foot down and the game plan, whatever that was clearly back fired big time. Fair play to Frampton, but he and smarmy Bazza are going to be insufferable for a while now. Could easily be a trilogy if you ignore the first 6 rounds but they both need to focus on other challenges for now.

I just saw this too. I think Santa Cruz batters Frampton, unless he was absolutely killed at the weight and is a different fighter at 126.

I would rather see Barry being swarmy than Hearn.
You can not forget how poor the first 6 rounds were. Quigg was pathetic.

I'm not disagreeing with you but Frampton was hardly setting the place on fire himself.

Frampton was winning the rounds by doing very little. Scott allowed him to do that, why should Carl throw extra punches when he did not have to win the rounds?
Carl is under no obligation to entertain the fans, essentially he was doing what Floyd Mayweather has been doing for many years.

Yep. And you absolutely rip Mayweather to shreds for that. So exactly what is the difference?
Re: Frampton v Quigg - February 27th 2016 Manchester Arena
frampton has been ordered by the wba to fight rigondeaux next,
Carl Frampton: Belfast boxer ordered to defend WBA world title against Rigondeaux - BBC Sport

firstly it wasn't framptons fault the fight was shit
but fighters are under an obligation to entertain the fans, and judges should be urged to score the aggressor, as I think they probably did on Saturday
and going back to mayweather, watch mayweather canelo again, there were rounds being scored to mayweather where he through only a handful of punches
Im not saying canelo won the fight, im saying there should be more put on entertainment
Re: Frampton v Quigg - February 27th 2016 Manchester Arena
I'm not trying to justify what Frampton did but it was a lot more than what scott did, or perhaps I was just expecting quigg to go out and try and knock him out so, him doing completely the opposite to what I expected, made it seem worse than it was
if you know what I mean
Re: Frampton v Quigg - February 27th 2016 Manchester Arena
and youre right, mayweather is a twat
