The Boxing thread

Congradulations to the New IBF Champion Carl Frampton winning the title by points against Kiko Marthinez. Marthinez is 1 tough hard man. Frampton had him down in 5th round but Marthinez got back up and boxed on to the end. Shocked Marthinez wasnt stopped in the 12th as he took some punishment. Frampton a World Champion I knew from the begining that this lad was going to be a world title champion. Seeing him boxing as a am to a pro he is destined to go on and fight big big big fights. Roll on a mega fight with Santa Cruz sometime in early 2015 then a fight with Rigondeaux would be great too. I know the Hearns will want a fight with Quigg but I cant see that happening for some time. As Carl will want the bigger pay and money and I cant see it happening for a while still. The good times are back in Irish boxing.

Also just heard that Framptons deal with Boxnation is now over I wonder if Sky will come back in for Frampton and do a deal to get him back on Sky. Loved what Carl had to say about Scott Quigg and he wants the fight but Hearn needs to know that Carl is the 1 with the real World title belt. He wants to fight anyone Carl he is going to be a brilliant exciting fighter to watch and hopefully Sky do a deal with Frampton for his fights.

As a Quigg fan (purely because he's a local lad and a nice guy to chat to as well), I thought that was a top performance last night from Frampton. Martinez is pretty limited but he's tough as they come and Carl had to show many dimensions to his ability last night to keep himself ahead in the fight, the knockdown was a beautifully picked shot and a fair summary of how cleanly he was able to counter punch Martinez all night long. I was praying for the ref to jump in in the 12th as I bet on Frampton KO but in any case, that was a world class 12-round performance from Frampton and I can't wait to see him in with the other top guys in the division now.

As for the Quigg fight if it were to ever happen, heart says Quigg but head leans slightly towards Frampton but I think it would be much more of a chess match. Quigg is pretty tight defensively and barely wastes a punch so Carl would have to work a lot harder to find a home for his counter shots than he did last night. I think they're very evenly matched in terms of ability but Carl just looks to have that edge in power. I think it's a tough one to call to be honest. No doubt people will call on the fact that Quigg has been put down a couple of times as a pro and claim he is chinny but he has never really been hurt badly and always found a way to win. Since winning his world title he's not really been matched with the best operators so I think we are a long way from seeing the best that Quigg has to offer.

I just hope it doesn't come down to who is percieved to be the bigger draw and the fight is shelved because of some shitty dispute over purses, split of tv revenue etc. Yes, Frampton is the bigger draw probably but in Ireland he has little competition for that title. Fact is this fight would sell anywhere in the UK so hopefully money won't completely dictate the negotiations and we will eventually get this fight made.

For the time being though, fantastic newsfor British boxing to have 2 domestic lads holding world titles.

Quiggs so called title is a paper title and not the full 1 a certain Rigondeaux holds that real title. Salinas fight that Quigg won the title was a draw and the title was handed go Quigg. I honestly think Quigg isn't ready for any of the title holders full title holders yet. He hasn't been tested chin wise went down already in his fights not been in with a banger yet of world level. Hearn / Joe Gallagher will avoid the fight or a major banger for a while. Carl has always wanted the Quigg fight and would of boxed him anywhere. Hearn signed Carls next fighter he has to fight within 90 days I think so expect that fight to be made and on Sky while Carl sorts out his TV deal with more than likely Sky like Groves did. Also Carl could well go in with Leo Santa Cruz next or Rigondeaux as Hyde Rigondeauxs manager was at the fight. I don't know how long Carl will stay in this weight class but he could even move up a weight if its getting harder for him to make the weight.
 
Should be on in the next half hour. Anthony Joshua impressive again, turned up the heat in the 3rd and dismantled his opponent with ease. He is progressing well and has all the tools to make it to the top.
 
My company is the main sponsor at a few boxing events. Friday night one of our local boxers here in Sheffield was knocked out and is now fighting for his life in hospital, this is one tough sport and the fighters know what could happen to them but the guy who knocked him out kissed him as he lay on the canvass, disgusting behaviour that I have never seen at a fight before in my life.

My thoughts are with Jerome Wilson and his family

My thoughts are with his family and hopefully the lad wins this big fight.


As for Scott Quigg in with a Bamtamweight. He hasnt boxed anyone with power and real power yet. Carls hand is bust from the Kiko fight so they aint too sure how quick Carl will be back. So expect the fight to happen sometime next year. Quigg sadly isnt a draw as a fighter and will have to play second fiddle to Carl. They were saying the crowd that turned out for Quigg at the weekend didnt even fill the arena and it wasnt even half full. As Hearn likes to state about Rigondeaux he has no following neither does Quigg sadly. Also if a fight with Carl and Quigg happens the majority of fans at it will be coming from Ireland to watch the fight be it in the UK. Carls fans would fill any arena the demand was so big for his last fight.

Anthony Joshua looks so strong want to see him stepping up in quaility sooner as he can go far.
