    He's been visibly rattled by the pressers this week
    He's admitted he hates Gallagher and Hearn

    I though he was a relaxed, calm guy.. but clearly Quigg and his team are really winding him up.... Mind games could be key to this fight and Frampton seems to get bothered by almost everything they say.

    So by admitting you don't like somebody, that means you're mentally weak?

    Larry Holmes dropped kicked one of his opponents in an out of ring altercation. And last time I checked he still won the fight.

    Press conferences have absolutely no bearing on the outcome of a fight. Don't let Eddie and sky tell you any different.

    What was his joke? I've seen both press conferences on IFL and didn't catch this comment.

    Wasn't one of his opponents. It was Berbick after he'd retired.

    Dont talk too soon. Gallagher has been very smug and talking tough early. He is a c**t. Although I think Quigg beats Frampton, he better watch out the lights aren't too bright on the night.

    Before every big fight, we have these psychologists come out of the woodwork telling us who at press conferences looks rattled and who doesn't, who is winning the mind games etc. In the end it makes absolutely f*ck all difference in the fight

    id normally agreed but BHOP has made a living out of defeating fighters before they got into the ring

    not the same in this senario tho

    Eddie made a right ***** of himself at the Belfast conference. Does he think he owns Sky Sports? I can understand why Carl was fired up.
    Quigg is not going to be able to play mind games with Carl. All Quigg could come out with at the face off was "just me and you" on repeat.
    Carl - "I'll box your bollox off and then I'll knock you out" lol brilliant

    Face facts, team Frampton are small fry compared to the likes of Hearn.

    Whether you like the man or not, he's the biggest promoter in the UK by a long stretch, and thats what the wee fella can't cope with.

    Why do you think they had to get Haymons money behind them ?

    As for the two fighters, one was composed and respectful, the other was an embarrassment.

    One was showing controlled anger, one seemed like he had been on the wrong end of controlled anger and had brain damage.

    We won't know until they fight, this "annoying" tactic might backfire in spectacular style and Frampton trains and fights like a beast.

    It's like watching people boo a national anthem, if I was on the receiving end it would inspire me, have me up for it. I'll never understand that :lol:

    You just never know for sure until fighters are in the ring.

    I'd like to add that's It's very hard to judge Quigg, he looks a little simple, anybody remember Simple Jack from the film Tropic Thunder?

    Quigg reminds me of Simple Jack.
