Frampton did NOTHING in the first half too! My thoughts on the fight

Let it go ....... it's over. Frampton won easily mate. They will never fight again.

 

Yup frampton didn't even need to do much at all to win those rounds

 

It takes 2 to make a fight, Frampton was trying to make the fight happen, looking for the openings and Quigg would not allow him to do so.

Whether this was out of fear of being countered, or Framptons footwork was just too gd for Quigg who knows, their are many possibilities for this but u cannot win rounds if u do not throw punches

and btw if Quigg started the way way he began in round 7/8 then he wouldnt have lasted the fight himself, he would have gassed late on so for me this is not an arguement

Frampton was just too gd, Quiggs dubious opposition in his career had not prepared him for fighting a boxer with the skills and varity of Carl Frampton, it really is as simple as that

 

Both disguised their nerves in different ways. Frampton threw arm punches at gloves and Quigg froze. That was the difference.

 

Nerves for me was huge thing, i was ringside for the fight and from the outset Frampton looked calm and at home in the situation and the complete opposite can be said for Quigg

I said to the guys i was with that from the outset Frampton started on the front foot, he looked to push Quigg back and put Quigg in a position that he was not comfortable in.

When it is was apparent Quigg was willing to lose rounds why wouldnt Frampton not do just enuff to win the rounds when clear opening were not being given?

should he try and force an opening in a fight hes clearly winning against a guys whos coming off a 1 punch KO victory? the biggest of his career?

Its madness to think in such a massive fight a guy is going to try risk everything in the early stages when hes consistently putting rounds in the bag in a fight that is expected to go 12 rounds

 

any educated individual knows stats do not tell anywhere near the whole story

any educated boxing individual knows that punch stats are very hit and miss (excuse the pun)

feel free to provide the breakdown of the punches per round as Quigg landed approx 85% of his punches in 3 rounds

 

i can see any insightful debate in this thread is going to be non existent

 

Eddie Hearn seemed to think otherwise

but anyways boxing is a subjective sport so some ppl may feel it was close, the minority r entitled to their opinion

 

I don't have any stats from the actual score cards but are judges discouraged from scoring rounds 10-10?

I wonder if an assessor would question a judge who scores a lot of 10-10 rounds?

"Can't you make a decision?"

 

Look it was a **** fight. Quigg shot himself in the foot with his slow start. neither where doing much but Frampton looked the busier fighter even though he was mainly just hitting the gloves.

Quigg is the stronger, bigger puncher. if he had jumped on Carl from start he would have probably broken him down. He didn't jump on him though and he allowed Carl to fiddle his way through.
