  1. The McGuigan's have been an embarrassment from minute one.

    Such a shame to see Barry become what he has.

    I agree, but thr behavior throughout the whole build up has been appalling imo. All Hearn has tried to do is belittle Frampton and Shane McGuigan. I've never seen a promoter do that. I just don't agree with it.

    I'm not saying you're wrong but it always fascinates me (Adam Smith style fascinating) how people see different things.

    I thought Quigg a little looked tired and drained, Frampton didn't look overly healthy around the face either but he looked lively to me, alert, swaying and eyeballing Quigg.

    Quigg is in his first really big fight, Frampton has been in big fights, he has had the eyes of a nation on him before, he has has huge expectation on him before, this is a new experience for Quigg in many ways and I think it will get to him.

    I'm going with Frampton, I have thought for a long time Frampton has his number and I've seen nothing to change that.

    Barry Mcguigan seeing Frampton put his fingers up behind Quiggs head and then quickly trying to get involved was one of the saddest things ive ever seen, an old man just desperately wanting to be involved but just looking like an absolute idiot

    Nick Halling just said it on twitter that it was kicking off backstage.

    Nick Halling has already scored the fight 118-110 Quigg and is writing his script now just incase it goes the 12.

    Halling is just going through his notes, they read... "ignore anything Frampton does and talk through/over Frampton's punches and say "World Class" every time Quigg does anything"

    :lol:

    Interesting that Hearn said that they were hoping to work with Cyclone in the future- looks unlikely to me!

    A lot of these issues are just being whipped up to sell the PPV.

    Completely agree, it's getting pathetic, dressing rooms, commentators and all sorts of rubbish.

    I agree with Hearn, tomorrow there will be problems with the ring, lighting, wraps and gloves.

    Both guys look in great shape. Quigg looks to have a steely determination about him, whereas Carl seemed pretty relaxed about everything to me.

    The Shane/Joe pushing match started I think because Joe was stood near the scales where Shane was trying to get to and he wouldn't move. Those two should get it on afterwards in the car park :lol:
