Being reported that Quigg broken his jaw at end of fourth round.

He said himself in the post fight interview that his "jaw was gone".

Frampton is either in decline or something isn't right regarding the weight. His punches seem to lack power the past couple of fights and he is seriously fucked come the 9th or 10th round. Not impressive seeing the frequency and desperation of his holding attempts

Most talented fighter at any weight at present is GGG. Froch can sit and talk rubbish all Night on Sky about tactics etc. A poor George Groves put him on his arse and he will stay retired for fear that Golovkhin will destroy him inside 3 Rounds.

Don't know how, he didn't take his hands away from it to get hit.

I gave it 4 up to Frampton and I was trying not to mark it down as a home town scorer.

Hard to fight someone who's not interested in fighting.

He's now a two belt world champion and went to the other titlist's home, broke his fecking jaw and won handy. There's always one. Or two.

I was surprised so many people fancied Quigg to win tbh, the we are Engerland mentality probably more than anything else.

If Frampton V Rig happens, it happens in Belfast. That & his age would make me fancy Frampton.

Did you give your prediction pre fight? It's very easy to predict things after the event. I was massively disappointed by the fight, fair play to Frampton but he doesn't beat Rigo in my view!

Whatever you think of froch,  one thing that can't be said about him is that he ducked opponents. He is near 40 and is retired and he should keep it that way.

Agreed!  Was thinking about how much a fighter like Froch will be missed after watching that tepid affair last night.  Always produced great battles and ducked no one,  ever.  Groves may be an average enough fighter @ that level but he's strong.  He caught Froch flush with a punch of a lifetime.  Most fighters wouldn't have got up to the next day,  never mind have the heart to recover mid fight and win.  Then destroy him in the rematch.

Absolutely. It was a moronic comment.

ach im just pissed of I lost money, lumped a few quid on quigg after round 8 at 11/4 when he seemed to be getting on top. i couldnt personally stick being at something like that with all the owc shit, my sis was at it said it was painful listening to them. I just havnt moved on as much as you milltown. maybe one day.

Know plenty of republicans who cheered on the Jackal last night. Fair play to him he hasn't an ounce of hate in his body. Jimmy Nesbitt was cringey though that's enough to piss any man off!

I read an interview where he said he was proud to represent Ireland as an amateur and has no regrets not fighting for the UK.
I'm not a big boxing fan and found that boring for the first 10 rounds but fair play to him he does seem a decent fella.

He's my wife's cousin, I've known the lad for 20 years, he's a decent lad , most people will have an affiliation with someone from a particular area in this shit hole, he's in a mixed marriage and he's boxed for Ireland, outside the ring he's well grounded and a big family man. Unfortunately you can't get rid of some elements that will be owc but hey, its Norn Iron
