Scott Quigg-Kiko/Crolla-Perez --- Saturday/Manchester/Sky Sports. Fact.

Quigg-Kiko should be a cracking fight.

Obviously Quigg is in a no-win situation as, although Kiko is a world rated superbantam and his toughest opponent to date, he'll get judged by Frampton's effort - so either Quigg gets beat and therefore is exposed, Quigg struggles therefore "proving" Frampton to be far superior or Quigg wins impressively and the performance is written off as he beat Carl's leftovers.

Seen many that think Kiko wins by KO (including Frampton and the McGuigan's unsurprisingly). Although many seem to "hate" Quigg just because he owns a pony WBA belt. Seems like a nice guy to me.

I think Quigg has the engine (certainly) and power to fight Kiko's relentless pressure off.

Fight to not go distance - 5/4
Quigg - KO 5/2

--------------------------

Crolla-Perez

Crolla is the nicest man in the world. Fact. Not sure what he actually does standout but he's been on a roll. Perez had eight thousand amateur fights and his only pro loss is against Gamboa.

Sentimentality is a fast-track to the poor house.

Perez - KO 5/2

I much prefer Frampton fight.

Does this set anything up for Quigg or is it just to prove a point and keep him honest against a decent fighter ? I really rate Quigg, but timing is everything in boxing, in and outside of the ring, and the longer the Frampton showdown gets dragged out the more precarious it becomes for the pair of them. It's a business and they will never draw a bigger crowd than right now. Legacy fights can come after.

I'll be there this Saturday. I'm going mainly for Crolla, big fan and I had tickets in January for his cancelled world title fight. He's tough as nails and seems to soak up punishment and get to his opponents. The best thing about him is how calm he is under siege. I really hope he wins it.

Hopefully Quigg slaughters Martinez quickly and just rubs Frampton's nose in it. I think Frampton beats Quigg, but bottom line it is Frampton doing all the running. Eddie signed Quigg so Frampton left Eddie. Quigg made Frampton an offer but no counter offer from Frampton's team. Quigg shows up at Frampton's fights but Carl is nowhere to be seen at Quigg's. I like Frampton, but he can't walk away from a Scott Quigg fight. All this "I'm the real World Champion' bollocks is bullshit. Just make the damn fight.

Glenn Foot vs. Sam Eggington is an interesting fight in this one. Looking forward to it.

I say Jenkins beats Nurse without much issue.

Martin Murray (gimme) is on this card as well as the two good British title fights.

I've been contemplating backing Tyrone Nurse at 7/2 and slightly favour Eggington (10/11) over Foot

My bets for the weekend. Frampton round 1-6 at 11/10. Abraham at 4/5. Eggington at 10/11. Backed Kiko rounds 1, 2 and 3 at 66/1 and 50/1 twice (more for interest then anything.Think hell come out swinging.)

Not many other opponents for Quigg. Outside the title holders theres not many better then Kiko. Much better then seeing him fight another blown up bantom where hes 1/200 to win.

Egginton - foot is going to be really good

I don't have any problem with the quality of opposition in Kiko, even I have to admit it was Frampton who showed his own potential against him, not Martinez lacking in much but that is kind of the point, whatever Quigg does it doesn't boost his own chances much as Fenster said earlier in the thread. Santa Cruz , Mares etc is where Quigg should be heading if Frampton is going to let Mcguigan lose him a big payday.

There's no reason to believe Kiko is no longer in his pomp. He did better in the 2nd fight with Frampton than the 1st. He's only 28.

Quigg should get all the credit in the world if he beats him - but many wont see it like that (even the many that are picking Kiko to win).

Donaire gets mentioned by Eddie all the time for a possible Quigg fight. Donaire himself was talking Quigg this week. Donaire is a little faded but is still a terrific name.

Perez - KO 5/2

wasn't sure what to bet on here so I went with this, have 5 dollars on a triple of perez by ko, arreola by ko and abraham decision, gives about 9 or 10/1 odds

Is it me or does the boxing coverage on Sky Sports 1 look more like Rugby at the moment?

Jenkins looking good.

It always surprises me how slick Nurse is but man does he keep his paws low.

I've only seen Tyrone Nurse a few times but this is probably the best I've seen him fight, first few rounds to Jenkins though, he needs to keep the pace up though he's slowing up a little now

Might be a bit biased, as i've backed Nurse, but he's winning so far

Glenn is starting to see Nurse skill beating Jenkins pressure

Nurse is winning

Jenkins doesn't look well

He seems to be really feeling the pace

Has Glenn had a drink? Is he still sporting a beard? Is he still one Greggs Pie away from never being able to leave his seat at ringside? He is OK but would be even better with Ian Darke along side him.

Billy looked quite thin. Glad he seems alright.

I've got Jenkins winning...purely because I have money on him so I refuse to believe he is losing

I think nurse is 1 up, round 8 now

Ian Darke was TBE comm

Nurse is looking a hell of a lot fresher and could be doing more to secure this one

Jenkins is 3 rounds behind going in to the tenth

"If you give that one to Nurse! If!!! He hosed up. Nick Halling needs a hiding

Glens only doing it if there is a donut in it.

Jenkins looks fucked.

Jenkins has won 3 rounds, 4 to be very kind

If nurse could punch

Jenkins looks even more fucked. If Nurse could punch this would have ened alreay

first fight of the night and my bet is fucked, I'm pissed off now

Funny thing is that I was actually popular this weekend and have had loads of offers to go the pub which is quite strange, I decided to opt for beer, cider, rum, curry and boxing though

I'm not a massive fan of people

Never

not a bad opening scrap that, I think Jenkins will be happier with that decision though
