    Yeah he's a good chance. Got a lot closer to Farmer than the cards suggested with his high output punching and high stamina. Tough fight to pick imo.

    My official pick is Carroll.. I don't Quigg will be as powerful as some expect at SFW.. His workrate might be too much for Quigg to get in a rhythm.. Carroll UD12

    Quigg is a hard ******* and I'm picking him. Carroll hasn't totally impressed me at world level. With an inside to mid range fight, it's Quigg for skill / experience IMO. But he is at 130 now, so I guess we'll see, as Carroll has that size advantage.

    All depends on how much Quigg has left in the tank. Which seems strange he's not that old but he's had a couple of injuries lost to two decent fights and going up in weight - might just be a bit much for him.
    He's got much better wins than Caroll has and on paper more power but I think this a big test for Quig at this stage of his career a high volume puncher who's naturally bigger might ask questions Quigg can't answer.
    I've gone for Carroll on points in another thread but I'm hoping Quig stops him if I'm honest.

    Definitely in with a good chance.

    Not sure what Quigg will show up. Defence hasn't looked all that in recent fights and Carroll throws a lot of shots.

    Jono is an exciting fighter, as a fellow Dub I wish him the best.

    A chance? Sure.

    Quigg is the rightful favourite though.

    An 80/20 type fight.
