I wouldn't.

I'd try to put on a show for the fans.

Well you'd be a fan favourite, but probably lose fights you shouldn't.

I wouldn't go completely mental, but I don't think that I could choose to 'win' rounds in such a cynical manner.

That's probably my autism talking though.

You must get it though? Why he would do it?

What is worrying is that after seven rounds of relative ease his stamina just disappeared. I liked Quigg for the first but would actually bet on him in the second. I don't think they'll fight him now as it's easier to lose to a Rigo than a Quigg.

They were both twitching at each other a lot.

Although it is not hugely entertaining it is almost as tiring as actually throwing punches.

They weren't just plodding around casually for 6 rounds, they were both very tense for pretty much every second.

For how much money though?

When the commentators kept saying they thought the early rounds could've went either way because not much happened I didn't really get that. Because yeah, not a lot happened, but the only thing that really was happening was Frampton's jab.

Jabs are mostly crap though.

Frampton's jab was nothing special.

Even a weak jab beats no offense at all. Frampton's jab was carrying those rounds because there was little to nothing coming back from Quigg. You had to award those rounds to Frampton due to his jab because it was really the only effective punch that was consistently being thrown for those first 7 rounds. I'm not saying he was busting Quigg up with the jab by any means, but he was controlling the distance, and having a better offensive flow because of it. Quigg would've been better suited to have been getting on the inside and making a brawl of it as soon as he could.

It seems pretty self-evident that a broken jaw hurts Never had mine broken, but I'm pretty sure I'd struggle not to throw up, let alone dance around a ring with Carl Frampton for another 8 rounds. All credit to Quigg for staying the distance.

hahaha I meant, as you know, had it be proven to be broken? (subsequently yes of course)
