The Blueprint to Battle for each man! Quigg - - - and the Champion.. Booth - - - A nice mesh of styles personally Booth is one of my favorites and a modern day domestic great. Quigg has the tools to win this fight and i do fear for Jason. I hope he can pull it out one last time.... :good
Quigg is going to outbox him, keep him at range move inside when he wants and then stop Booth around the 8th round
Yep that's my worry as well i don't think his legs are there to carry him anymore and i've felt that since the Marsh fight. He looked good early against Molitor but even then he quickly dropped off the pace although Jimmy Gill told me it was a broken hand. I haven't liked this fight for Jason at all since it was made i'm trying to think of how he can win it. A prime or near prime Jason would do a job on Quigg but as i mentioned he's not that guy anymore.
Booth has always been one of my favoruite domestic fighters. Shame he is still fighting, Quigg dominates and stops Jason late, could be body shots. Scott "Quinn" is quality.
Got my ringside tickets for this and cant wait. I have Quigg stopping Booth late too as i also think Booth hasnt got the energy to hold Quigg off anymore.
Quinn will beat him, he is the future coz Amir said so! Quigg should have too much for hi at this stage. Booth is looking worse with every fight IMO, and Scott should be too fresh, too good a boxer, and too good for him at this stage. Quigg by a landslide i feel
Booth just doesn't hit hard enough. I've always thought thats his major issue. Boxing wise not a problem. Quigg's going to be too fast though, too strong eventually. Hopefully Booth makes a contest of it with his experience.
Yeah that whole post is pretty much how I see it too, Booth did well to be a force at SBW for a while but at this point in his career where he's winding down it may be an issue for him. The bit in bold in particular is something I'm hoping for. It would be nice to see Booth take a few early rounds and make Quigg really think about a way to get past him. In truth, I think a late stoppage to Quigg or a pts win is most likely but Booth is a smooth boxer and is certainly capable of making it a tough night for him.
Yep same here the Marsh right was when i felt he was struggling with the size and he nearly done it against Molitor but i wanted him to drop down and finish career against men his size. I fear October 22nd will be last time we see Jason Booth in the ring as a champion.
