Frampton-Quigg: Hearn, Al Haymon Have Positive Talk - Boxing News
Positive talks about the Frampton fight apparently due to Haymon. But if it doesn't pull off then it looks like Donaire. Both are quality fights for Quigg though and either are brilliant fights for boxing this year.
Donaire-Quigg in this country would be brilliant. Love to see how the bookies price that up
Donaire is fully game for coming to the UK too. That would be a great event!!!Quote:

It's that time of the year when Hearn can't get the matches he wants to make so he talks a lot. First Brook v Bradley, now either of these 2 fights.
I don't believe any of them will come off next fight or this year, but I'll be the first to take my hat off to him if they do. All exciting match ups.
If Quigg beat Donaire Frampton's mob would have to beg for the fight.

Would Bradley come back to the UK? Was great when he came over and beat Witter, I always liked Bradley from that moment on.
Donaire would ice Quigg and Frampton quickly for me.
When Bradley came to fight Witter his purse was a plane fare and 100 quid of Walmart vouchers. He now makes over a million quid a fight. They wont get him over here
Looks like Brook/Bradley is almost done or is. They should put them together.Quote:

Has Quigg ever been hurt? Ive watched a lot of his fights but cant actually remember if he has or not. Donaire hurt Walters and hes bigger than Quigg
Quigg was decked good and proper by Jamie Arthur. Donaire could chin out anyone in this division (even in defeat he had Rigo on the floor and turned Walters into a stumbling drunk)

How old is Donaire now? he seems to have been around for years, he must be knocking on.
A quick google tells me that he is 33 in a few months, I would have had him down as being older than that.
Donaire has still got it at the top level. It would be brilliant if the fight comes off but it could be Hearn hype.
Barry would have to fight Cruz or Rigo to beat that.
Donaire is past his pomp but beating him is a whole different level to beating Martinez. Donaire would still annihilate Kiko now let alone in his pomp.

I would love Brook v Bradley, but according to this , it's more likely to be Chaves. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
Would absolutely love this fight. Has a Hatton Tszyu feel to it.
The way people talk about Quigg-Frampton not happening, LSC, Quigg fighting Donaire, etc... One would swear Rigondeaux isn't the clear top guy in the division:-\ How badly is he blackballed in all of this, yeesh.

Glad I said almost. This is why I tend to take boxingscene with a grain of salt. Because a day before this article they printed this:
If I were him I'd make the Bradley fight. Arum should push for it also since Donaire is already going to Britain should the Quigg fight get made. Maybe Desert Breeze does not want to travel? Maybe he knows he cant win. Beating Bradley would really put the pressure on Khan to sack up. Beating Chaves takes that pressure off and he should be making a better fight for his optional. He will have a mandatory next so that just stalls his career until late 2016 for a chance at a big fight.Quote:
According to promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport, he had a very positive meeting with Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank, regarding a fall unification between IBF champion Kell Brook (34-0, 25KOs) and WBO champion Timothy Bradley (32-1-1, 12KOs).
Hearn is looking to stage the fight in late October in Brook's hometown of Sheffield. He is also going to continue discussions with the promoters of the current frontrunner Diego Chaves, and there will also be talks regarding Ruslan Provdonikov.
Bradley, who went to a draw with Chaves last December, came back earlier this year to capture the vacant WBO title with a decision win over previously unbeaten Jessie Vargas. Bradley lost the WBO title last year to Manny Pacquiao, who then dropped the belt to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May. Mayweather was stripped of the belt for failing to pay the sanctioning fee among other reasons.
Brook has made two dominating defenses this year, with easy knockout wins over Frankie Gavin and mandatory challenger Jo Jo Dan.
Hearn told Sportsmail: "Kell wants to fight Bradley. I had a good meeting with Bob Arum. There are plenty of names available but we would like to fight Bradley. Of course we would like to fight Amir Khan, but outside of that fight, this is the best one for us. Style-wise it would be an absolute belter."
"I am still hopeful that fight fans will see Khan and Brook fight each other next year but for now, with Khan wanting to fight Manny Pacquiao, Bradley looks like it would be a top fight for Kell."
Kel Brook needs to be active , Khan is just hand picking fights now , so if Brook keeps beating big names the khan fight will have to happen.
Donaire is bigger and better than quigg in every possible way.
Quigg is getting fucked up here. Its an Ivyleaguer's guarantee
I hope you are right.Quote:

I half fancy Donaire to beat Quigg but seeing as old Dino thinks Quigg is getting "fucked up" i'll give that bet a swerve. And anyone that thinks Donaire is physically bigger than Quigg will get a shock when they actually see Quigg.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up, it's not a dislike of Quigg as such, just preferring the others which is fair enough.Quote:

But not Barry, I know what you think will happen with their relationship. ;)Quote:

He's a down to Earth guy and his hard work ethic in the gym is clearly paying off. I like quigg and on top of that he's got a very exciting style. Hope he goes far in the fight game and there's some very exciting match ups out there for him.
What odds will you give me?Quote:

Quigg versus Donaire is a terrific match up. The only person to beat Donaire at 122 is Rigo. Can Quigg be the second? It's a big step up. Anyone that can avoid Donaire's hook has a good chance at beating him.
Who are you trying to fool lol. This fight is closer than that as it is being held in Quigg's backyard.Quote:

If he manages to survive 12 rd, there could even be a British decision. Or of he starts landing a fee combos, we might even see another British stoppage.
On paper, it should pretty much be an even matchup.
I have Nonito beating that ass doe
