Frampton broke Quiggs jaw in round 4

Souns like pacmans shoulder

 

Like the guys said he talked easily without hesitation. No blood flowing out of his mouth either. If that xray is to be believed yes it is a broken jaw but perhaps with the adrenaline flowing he didnt really feel it that much in the fight, he talked about how comfortable he felt in there (lol), otherwise his performance would definitely have suffered severely. These guys arent superheroes, maybe it just broke in a way that had minimal impact on him.

 

Or maybe quigg just has a great chin?

 

Quigg had his bulky gloves plastered to his face all night as well...

 

What do you want him to do? Stand there and get hit?

The fight proved that Quigg's defence is better than a lot of people thought and Frampton isn't the master boxer a lot of people perceive him to be.

 

His offence was extremely limited. If he opened up more, especially at range, he would have gotten hit more. Simple as.

 

So are you suggesting he should try and get hit more?

 

Who was the fighter with the better punch stats?

We saw the best of Frampton last night but not the best of Quigg, if they rematch we know Quigg can do better but can Frampton?

 

I watched the fight in a pub, and missed the shot that broke his jaw.

Having now watched the fight at home, it was a peach of a shot, and i'm not surprised at the damage it caused.

Let me get one thing straight here, Quigg may have a broken jaw, but he has grade A chin.

 

Fighting stiff with both gloves welded to your head is rarely the way to go. Yes you will get hit less but it limits your offence severely. Sometimes you need to take a risk to get the job done. Quigg was too risk averse, and it cost him badly.

 

Not sure the idea was to avoid risk, and probably more to do with trying to draw Frampton onto something.

Say what you like about Joe and Scot, but they knew Frampton wouldn't engage early, and were always going to be cagey at the start.
