Quigg vs Frampton - MAKE YOUR PICK

This is tight! 50:50. I think Frampton would nick it, but I think he's far from the Second Coming that Barry McGuigan thinks he is, at the moment anyway. @lukecowham

 

Spot on there son. :good

 

Varela who had to have a rematch with Chacin after winning a very close decision first time round ? Frampton stopped Chacin in favour. Your not making the compelling case that you think you are. If you read my previous posts you will see that i said Booth is a good win and yeah its better than anything Frampton has done. But its one win, Quigg hasn't fought better opponents like your trying to claim. Case closed !

 

im from belfast and would love to see frampton winning but i voted quigg .i just think he looked very strong against booth and at the minute i think he would edge it ,If u ask me 2-3 fights down the line i probably will have changed my mind.1 or 2 of these kids could be world champions

 

Quigg is an Irish surname, so at some point yeah the male line of his family obviously descended from Ireland (unless someone along the line was adopted or chnged their surname).

 

Isn't that exactly what he's done if he's beat Booth which is a 'good win' in your words? Frampton doesn't have a good win.

 

Very close decision? Varela won 99-94 97-93 96-93. Also Verela took big punching Alexei Callado 10 rounds and nicked 1 or 2, went 10 with Moreno, case well and truly closed.

 

Frampton will beat Quigg. You'll see.

 

That was not what we were debating....And no chance.

 

its Quinn.... :roll::roll:

 

Frome 78 votes for Frampton, 18 of those were from Irish people*.

So that's 23% rather than 80%. I think the latter figure would be more accurate when describing the converse, British people who've voted for Quigg.

Coming from someone who's been oft chastised by Irish posters in the past for supposedly being ''biased'' against Irish fighters, I must say that there's a lot of Brits who fail to see the irony in shouting about bias. Y'kow, Munroe beating Nishioka? DeGale being ''world class'' after beating Paul Smith? Forgive me for thinking one or two people of British descent may or may not have had their thoughts plagued by this ''blind nationalism'' that's often spoken about.

*That's excluding Frampton himself, who I see has voted.

 

:roll: Frampton voted for himself, how dare he vote for himself, pure bias if ever ive seen it atsch:good

 

Fair play it was an exaggeration but i thought it would be more of them Irish buggers on this thread.

Frampton voting for himself :rofl

 

Your post is misleading Jpab in the sense this is a Brit forum, so firstly more Brits are voting. Secondly, if 23% of people voting for Frampton are Irish, that would mean that give or take (excluding what I'd assume to be a minority of voters from elsewhere) 77% of the votes FOR Frampton are from Brits.

Now, the percentage of the Irish votes that went for Quigg are probably not so generous...

The Irish are definitely more biased overall, but thats not surprising considering its a smaller boxing nation. It is worth noting however.

 

The maths are there in reference to the - obviously hyperbolic - claim that 80% of those who voted for Frampton were Irish.

I KNOW that there are a helluva lot of Irish posters who are biased(which is incidentally the reason for one of the points in my post, I'm sure you know which), I merely pointed out that the blatant hypocrisy that transpires here with regards to bias is pretty obvious. And there is, for instance, how many NON-Brits rated DeGale that highly? How many NON-Brits thought Munroe would win? And don't give me the "well, people from outside of Britain wouldn't have known them as much" line that many use, the answer is clear: not many.

That's my point. There's a lot of hypocrisy from certain Brits here. You think I don't know that there are Irish posters here that aren't afflicted with Emerald-itis? I think you know me better than that.
