Not badly, he got back up then obviously thought about it and took a knee.

So, reflections on Quigg after that fight?

Personally, I have to say I thought his approach in the first three rounds could easily have lost him all three if Arthur had been more active, and that isn't his kind of fight at all. The knockdown sparked him into a much more offensive plan which suited him and the opponent much more effectively.

If he's going down against Arthur then defence has to be a concern, but I think this sets up the Quigg v Frampton fight nicely. Just puts in another doubt or two about how good Quigg really is, and makes it more attractive for Frampton.

This was the first time I watched him fight. He looked okay beating up a fighter he was supposed to dominate from what I saw, but I only got in half-way through the 6th.

Arthur did look in good shape, you could say the ref did stop the fight to soon head shot yes body shot no
once Quigg got the pace up in the fight he did look good.
Good learning fight for Quigg.!

Quiggs whole approach is built around his usually impeccable defence. He came forward a lot and totally dominated Booth but that is not his usual style, it is an offensive side that Gallagher seems to have helped him develop. Arthur just proved that although Scott covers up well inbetween throwing combinations he is still catchable and needs to work on his counter-punching. His pace is till a great attribute and early on tonight his game plan was all wrong, he needs to learn that in order to dominate fights he must dictate the pace. Respect to Arthur though he obviously trained hard and proved himself a right handful.
