Frampton has more options then Quigg

I think Frampton was guilty of trying to rush Gonzalez. He really wanted to put on a show in America and probably subconsciously thought he had a soft touch in front of him. He got caught sleeping twice and I think he'll afford Quigg much more respect.

Frampton will be the one setting traps, he'll box smart, work off the jab, pick his spots and bust Quigg up over the first 7-8 rounds. Quigg is going to soak up a lot of punishment, but he needs to hope he lands enough, and he sets a strong pace that Frampton, if he really is tight at the weight, will struggle late on.

Frampton hits like mule as well though, Quigg is going to walk onto jabs, straight rights and uppercuts all night. Provide Frampton is a moving target, which he perfectly capable of being, then I think he, to use his own quote, outboxes him early on then outfights him late.

 

I think Quigg needs to stop him or seriously drag him into a s**** to get the W, but I can't see Frampton doing that.

I see him collecting enough rounds at the start, maybe backing off towards the end but seeing it through.

 

Massively.

Scott has got as much head movement as a corpse. Not exactly an owl, is he?!

Frampton within 6/7.

 

Tough call. I'd say Frampton.

Quigg is a great hammer but a lousy nail, IMO.

 

I really looking forward to this fight and cant wait. Being irish my opinion is obviously bias and I cant be as objective as I would be if it wasn't an irish fighter involved but il give my 2 cents, but its a pretty standard breakdown

quigg is huge for the weight,strong and got a great engine and workrate. that alone gives him a good chance with any fighter in the division

however I feel he can be outboxed and the Salinas fight proved that. techniqally he is lacking and as someone pointed out he has bo head movement and he's defense is standard. in comparision Frampton has a lot more skill and variation and is able to fight in and out and limit quiggs chances to get any work done

but I don't think Frampton will knock him out because he will be looking to maximise he's chances of winning and that means boxing smart and picking him off. Also I believe quigg is very tough and would be very very hard to stop anyway

if Frampton gets wreckless and gets dragged into a war id favour quigg due to his size and strength and in a war of attrition its hard to see anyone beating quigg at 122. but Frampton is in the drivers seat because he has the skills and can negate what quigg brings if he is at he's best

for that reason I make Frampton favourite and I think it will be a wide 118-110 type of decision. but id say its a 60-40 fight

 

Frampton is the one with the better boxing skills, but has shown huge vulnerabilities against Martinez first time round and against that Mexican road sweeper.

He will need to be on the back foot for the full 12 rounds. If he gets into a dog fight Quigg will stop him with ease.

 

Best thing about this fight is that there are plausible scenarios for both men. Quigg overpowers or Frampton outboxes.

Two cracking fighters in top form getting it on. For the genuine boxing fan, what is not to love about this?

Scott is from Bury, my home town, so he's got my support and my hopes. But you won't find me complaining if Carl does him over.

I can't wait for this. A genuine pick 'em fight of the sort we don't see nearly enough of. We're quick to criticise and moan about poor matchmaking, so kudos to both men and to their management for getting this on.

May the best man win, may both be at their best and may both come out of it healthy.

 

Frampton will take the early rounds I think that's a given. The problem is he won't won't to mix he will box and run. In the middle to late rounds he will wilt he is tight at the weight nearly every interview I've seen when they ask him how his camp is going the first thing he says is "'my weight is spot on". It's definitely worrying him. Quigg also has the psychological edge. So for me it's a question of if frampton can successfully run for the last 6 rounds without getting stuck on the ropes

 

I do find it quite interesting how confident Quigg's camp appear for this, which I don't sense from the Frampton camp.

 

I think people are forgetting that Carl can also bang, and are putting way too much stock into Quigg's power.

Carl's power isn't to be sniffed at.
