Hate ant Crolla, his fights bore me.

The only thing that mildly annoyed me with tonight's fight was that by the time Quigg got his knockout, when I switched over I'd already missed the first Frampton knockout. Either way, one step closer to unification. Quigg did seem like he had been rattled a little by Martinez in the first, but he showed a serious finish that suggests to me he would beat Frampton.

---

Both Frampton knockdowns seemed like they were purely balance issues and he never actually got put off his feet he just touched down to keep balance then he was fine.

Ffs

I got Crolla ahead. The crews card is wide but I think Anthony has a couple on him

Crolla v Matthews 2 for unification.

It's close

It was but Anthony closed the last 3 and then the bag shots.

ud my friend

Could not happen to a more deserving bloke;D

omg

One of those cards is daft.

Commenators get carried away, I though Perez won it easily.

The points taken off makes the draw fair enough.

They didn't even kiss him first

What round did you start watching in? I agree with commentators getting carried away and a draw is OK but by the end there is no way Perez won it easy.No way.

That first card was inept.

Can't believe how many of you bailed on the Crolla fight to watch Frampton.

They added up the scorecards wrong.

No judge gave it to Perez. It was 113-113 on two cards so a majority draw. It was announced as 1 judge scoring to Perez but Nelson revealed later in the show that the scorecards were read wrong

WBA have ordered an investigation into the scoring. Crolla won it and won it well from my seat. Gutted as it was clear he won the fight. How anyone had that a draw is beyond me.

Quigg looked really good in taking Kiko out, a excellent performance Kiko was coming forward
like a tank, trying to overwhelm Scott but he saw his opening and it was good night Kiko.
Crolla was a worthy winner, without Prez being deducted 2 point yes a poor result, it was a good
night of boxing regardless of the results.:)

Crolla was unlucky to not get the decision considering the two point deductions. Be surprised if the rematch isn't ordered

The problem with ordering a rematch is Derry Matthews is interim Champion and was promised the winner. The WBA take pride in making a right fucking mess of their ratings.

Oh and I'm pleased that my first bet of the night fucked up, I said Tyrone Nurse would get beat which killed my bet

I had 13 fights and the only 2 that failed was Nurse and Crolla, I would have been fuming if I lost the bet just because of the Crolla fight.

If it wasn't for his story and recovery, I don't think he would have been fighting for a world title. Give him his due, he's made a great comeback, but in terms of longer term prospects Frampton has a lot more to offer on the big stage compared to Crolla.

He had a world title shot before the attack but the attack ruined it. Crolla vs. Abril was supposed to happen on 23rd Jan this year but because he was attacked the fight was cancelled. His shot had nothing to do with the story. Quite frankly, he earned it.

He was radio today and said it was a close fight not a robbery but should have got the decision. He did not want to take a warm up which was offered to him and wants another shot after a rest. Seemed a good bloke on.

But Frampton was in a non title, catchweight fight. I am happy I recorded Frampton and watched Crolla. He kept Perez more than honest throughout and without the massive ego that Frampton and Barry have. Listening an Old Pro like Mcguigan dismiss Quigg, who is already a better fighter than he was, is pretty nauseating to be honest.

I don't think Frampton's got a massive ego at all - granted McGuigan's patter is getting a bit tired now and potentially will start working against Team Frampton if he keeps it up given the British public wants the fight desperately. But he can't be seen to be giving anything away to Hearn in public though can he? And to be fair both Frampton and McGuigan acknowledged how good Quigg's performance was after their own fight. Based on Saturday night's action all roads must lead to a Frampton/Quigg showdown.........

I am glad that they gave him props after the fight because recently Barry has been so eager to deflect criticism that he had started to dismiss Quigg as a challenge or worthy opponent. I am sure Carl would fight anyone at the drop of a hat as would Scott, so the promoters/managers need to just get on with it behind closed doors and make some money for their fighters. Either can still be a force in the division, even after being beaten.
