Oscar Valdez v Scott Quigg Sky Sports 10th March 2018

[Alpha]

This could turn out to be the best fight of the weekend.

Quigg missed weight. Not sure if it was a tactical move or not. Knock this chump out Valdez.

I just can’t stand it when fighters miss weight. It’s extremely unprofessional.

In Quigg's case he's come from 122, and I don't recall him missing weight before, that's why I'm wondering if maybe it was a tactical move.

Quigg has spent his career being known for living in the gym, being super dedicated/fit. Ironic this happens after leaving Joe Gallagher (knowing some of his fighters).

I'll be the naive one and say it wasn't done on purpose, however, i'm pretty certain they're (Roach and him) confident they can sparko Valdez in a fire fight, so this is obviously not going to be detrimental. This could be like Corrales-Castillo II, where the extra weight was evident.

Anyone know if Valdez' team put a limit on how much Quigg can enter the ring at (2nd day weight in)?

I don't see Quigg stopping Valdez, or vise versa. I still see Valdez as the bigger puncher. This will be a war of attrition over the full 12. Valdez can make it easier for himself if he keeps to the game plan and limits his brawling.

Alex Saucedo fights on this card against Abner Lopez. A win puts him in line to fight the winner of the Jose Ramirez vs Amir Imam fight.

Don't know if a limit was set but team Valdez were fuming, originally demanded Quigg lose a couple of pound and debated whether or not the fight goes ahead, so obviously are concerned giving away the weight. They seem to have settled for 10% of his purse.

I think Valdez is a better boxer, certainly better mover/quicker, however, if he gets hurt like he did against Servinia i'd be surprised if he gets off the hook. Quigg has many sparkos to body and head.
