Oscar Valdez v Scott Quigg Sky Sports 10th March 2018

[Alpha]

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.

Saucedo fight is on now. He's been moved so slow. Already getting caught with a few big shots by Lopez.

[Alpha]

Entertaining through 3. Not much defense in this one. Saucedo's face already marked up, possible a cut there to.

[Alpha]

Saucedo using better movement in the 4th, got to stay off the ropes tho. He landed some big clean shots towards the rounds end. Lopez slowing down.

[Alpha]

Saucedo hurt Lopez in the 6th causing him to hold. He survives the round but looks spent. I've given Saucedo the last 3 rounds.

[Alpha]

Great body shot puts Lopez down in the 7th. Ref waves it off.

[Fenster]

Good comeback for Saucedo. His face looks like he's been battered, they only went 7 rounds.

[Alpha]

Barboza Jr win the 1st round.

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.

This could have been redemption for Quigg after a disappointing few years but he's gone and messed it up now by missing weight but even if he won a win would be tainted.

i remember regretting buying the quigg frampton ppv at the time. Two little men without the power to hurt each other and mostly cautious to engage. Frampton made up for it in subsequent fights with Santa Cruz but Scott hasn't. Even with an unfair weight advantage I can't see quigg winning. Moving to America has only made him a more face 1st fighter, hasn't added anything. But at least he will throw punches which he didn't do for 6 rounds under joe Gallagher

I reckon this was intentional, Valdez team were not happy.
I'm thinking same as Fenster, that Roach wants Quigg in a shoot out and is going for an early stoppage win.

The victory will be meaningless and no one will touch Quigg now.

Stupid move if it was deliberate.

Overweight boxers?... Andy ruiz is on the undercard for this fight too..

[powerpuncher]

It looks like the fight is still on. It was in question for a little bit because Quigg refused to weigh in this morning.
