Quigg needs to get rid of that long faced Donkey Joe Gallagher

Don't think quigg could have won this, but yet again joke Gallagher fails against a top opponent

 

Quigg should have won that. Carl looked weak and his punch power seems to have decreased quite significantly - it might be the weight or he could just be on the slide.

 

Based on the 180 we saw after Quigg realised what was going on with the scores, it's quite possible that he could've turned it on earlier and drowned Frampton with pressure.

It's just as likely a possibility that he would've been caught and hurt in the process.

I feel bad for him, and even though I think the split decision was a bit of a gift, I'm glad he was gifted it. Too often you see guys who know all too well that a fight's slipping away, doing absolutely nothing to counteract it.

At least he put it on the line when he knew the ***** needed to meet the wall.

Gallagher's useless in the corner come fight time. He always has been, but I've always thought a strong stable breeds strong fighters and if he's the glue then it is what it is.

He wont get a rematch from Frampton.

 

What round was that then ?

Oh, the one that never happened

 

I don't think you're reading what I said as I intended it.

I said it might've been possible for Quigg to turn up the heat earlier if he'd have known he needed to.

He didn't though, so obviously there wasn't a scenario that saw him getting hurt in the process of doing that, because it didn't happen.

 

Some people seemed to like what quigg did in the opening but man how could an experienced trainer be happy with that he was so so inactive

 

You all miss a fact Quigg was too cautious early yes (due to Joe poss). But! When Quigg really comityed in last Frampton didn't miss a shot and won it impressively. Frampton was good and clearly has power or Quigg would of walked through him earlier (he's not silly he knew he was behind!)

 

Frampton boxed the ears off Quigg in the last round so I don't get the argument that Quigg beats Frampton if he steps it up earlier? Frampton did what he had to do when he had to do it. He'd do the same in a rematch. Whatever Quigg brings Frampton brings more. A rematch would also be in Belfast and Quigg ain't gona do **** up there.

 

He looked genuinely shocked when told sky pundits had him 6-1 down to me. I don't think he did know he was behind, at least not to the degree that would mean he needed a clean sweep of the second half just to break even.

Whether knowing that earlier would've made any difference is anyone's guess.

 

Quigg looked way too tense. He should have tried Carls chin early he gave him the first 6 rounds through not doing anything

 

i think certain fighters need a coach more than others , quigg is the type to do exactly as hes told but far more needing of ring iq in the corner and he will fulfill a coaches wishes to a tee, partly due to limited natural iq - that being said they said the same bs about starting slow after he drew with salinas so i dont buy it , frampton schooled him , i know quiggs supposed to have a broken jaw , if it happened in round 4 id be more interested in a rematch as he did far better at the end of the fight than beginning , but frampton on points was buying money 9 times out of 10 , frampton was levels above imo , if a team was 9-0 on match of the day , they wouldnt mind conceding 3 as the games alreay won - that sums it up in a nutshell and a rematch would be the same

 

Im not sure which post to reply to first. Quigg didnt have a broken jaw. I cant remember the exact fight but remember ricky burns when he broke his jaw? The guy was hurting ever shot, it was so visable which is why the draw he got was such bull****.

End of the day fighers at true world level are smarter than their trainers, examples:-

Floyd mayweather - does anybody really know more about boxing in the mayweather family than floyd?
Mikel kessler - does anybody in the whole of denmark know more about boxing that kessler himself?
Wlad k - does johnathan banks really know more about ring strategy or boxing?

Quigg will domeatic/european because he has no brains just bang. He let himself down tonight.

 

His one chance. Break carls confidence - which looked fickle before the fight

 

. Right on. But when you lack talent but obviously have the strength advantage you have to take it
