Frampton v Quigg - February 27th 2016 Manchester Arena

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.

All the best seats have gone ! I like both fighters I may sit on the fence.:)

Quigg is making me lean back towards him with his man possessed attitude. That type of stuff doesn't normally sway me in the slightest - cold hard form/styles - but Quigg really does love being a fighter and seems unflappable.

I want quigg to win as he is a local , however it's hard to call, I don't like frampton but he won't lose without a scrap.

This should be decent matchup, two undefeated winners who belive in themselves.

It's a tight call, but I'm going to pick Frampton by a mid to late stoppage. I think Quigg is very dangerous early on, good hitter and fast, but Frampton has the better technique and heavier hands generally. I think both guys will actually start out quite cautious and Framptons superior innate strength gives him the age once the first few rounds are over.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some controversy during the fight, but I reckon Frampton starts to bully him after the 7th.

Having said that, neither is the best fighter in the world at the weight.

I think Quigg may do what he did to Kiko early , but the longer it goes I favour Frampton.

I'm going Frampton on points. But he did look shite last time out, Quigg found the perfect punch on the biggest fight of his career last time out, and Frampton apparently got sparked by a sparring partner getting ready for this fight. So Quigg early, Frampton late. Going to go with Frampton though.

50/50 for me. I'm thinking Frampton but can't shake the feeling that Quigg pulls the upset.

yesterday I was Frampton on points

today I'm Quigg

So, do you still pretend you're one of the boxers when you "play"?
Most people stop that when they're about 10 years old. 😉😂😂

I'm in rant mode at the minute. Back to McGuigan being a Wanker, did anybody see the press conference where he described a bloke that floored Quigg earlier in his career as a "Moron Journeyman"? Quigg shouted over that McGuigan should show some respect. Good on Quigg.
Says everything you need to know about "King Baz!"

Ive met Barry McGuigan a couple of times, and you'll never meet a nicer, more modest or unaffected guy.

It's strange how he is behaving in this build up.

I also wonder how much of that is rubbing off on Frampton, who will look at Barry for his cues. Frampton has never been in a fight this big, against an opponent he is not an overwhelming favourite to beat.

Ever since he was an amateur, and was fast tracked as a golden boy, he has been seen as a star. Maybe he has got a bit arrogant, and he seems to be reacting with barely hidden fury at the Quigg camp's jibes.

He keeps calling his opponents 'arrogant'. He has done this so many times that I'm reminded of the old adage; when someone insults you, listen carefully because they will be describing the thing they fear most.

Barry has came across as a tosser ever since this Quigg-Frampton rivalry really flared up. For an intelligent bloke he sure does have a short fuse. The "moron journeyman" outburst was embarrassing. Have a pop at team Quigg but leave the fighters out of it.

It's obvious he hates playing second fiddle to Matchroom even though it's meant to be joint promotion.

Yeah, all promoters have their critics, it's the nature of the job and Hearn is definitely in that category.
But when he said "you're here because we brought you here!" they hated it because he put them in their place big time.

yeah, how can you predict a fight without really feeling it?

today I'm back with Quigg

I have to say tho Frampton is a much better boxer, I just think quigg is bigger and stronger and generally harder

I used to prefer playing Cowboys and Indians than pretending to be boxers. 😉

Good press conference today.

The fight's off (as if) over a row about a dressing room. Frampton (his mob) won't allow Quigg to have the big one, they'll pull out if he gets it. Quigg (his mob) said bollocks we're not backing down.

Carl threatened to chin the "lanky cunt" (Eddie) for touching him at the head-to-head. :D


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODFEWUN2JNA

This is going to be a cracker! Not only did Frampton Call Hearn a lanky cunt, he said in an interview after that Hearn shit his pants and was a "bag of Shite" !

Pathetic. Maybe tension is getting to everyone.

The undercard could have been stronger for a PPV even though there's some toss-up fights.

Carl Frampton-Scott Quigg
Gavin McDonnell-Jorge Sanchez
Hosea Burton-Miles Shinkwin
Isaac Lowe-Marco McCullough

Roughly 27/1 for the fights to not go the distance.

McDonnell will go the distance

Cracking weigh-in. Frampton had the majority of the fans. Quigg won the stare-down, didn't flinch when getting the fake nut, then slickly mugged Carl off by standing in front of him as he rallied his fans.

Joe and Shane (trainers) having a little push and pull.

it was quigg who looked drained

Frampton won the stare down (he blinked less times and Scott flinched when Carl blew a kiss at him).

Listen again.

A lot of the noise for Frampton was boos. When he came on you could mostly hear booing and when he stepped on the scales there was as much booing as cheering.

I think Frampton is the one whos going to be dissapointed with his support as they have made a big deal to Quigg how its going to feel like hes in Belfast (maybe if some put balaclavas on) and saying to Hearn will he be as chipper in Iteland on the press tour and how Gallagher doesnt want to go to Ireland.

They think everyone in England is against them because they are irish. Im getting that irish people have little man syndrome with the rest of the world (mainly england).

Quigg on points with the help of a couple of knock downs

I think Quigg early.

I am guilty of not following eithers career at all.

Had a look at some recent action amd Framtpton might be the more polished but I dont think he has the drive that Quigg does.

There is a bit much being made of that picture comparrison of Quigg yesterday compared to Quigg today. Someone posted it on twitter with the caption that it must be a 10lb loss over night. Are they for real? Todays photo the light is shining down on him do you can see the shadows of his face. Yesterdays he has flashes from cameras on the side of his face hiding any contours.

I'm going to stick with Frampton but I'd like to see Quigg win. The signs are there for a terrific fight.

the hype and constant advert from sky sports is almost making me want to buy the ppv.

I was 50/50 most of the week, but have fronted up and bought the PPV. Really hope Quigg wins, as Frampton is increasingly becoming a tool. And not in an useful, put up your shelves, kind of way.

I like Frampton from what I've seen. Know next to nothing about Quigg so makes my selection easy ;D Anyone know what time this kicks off in the States?
