Smith do alright to be fair but quigg is putting in a very poor performance. You aren't going to beat frampton being 1 dimensional and sitting on his chest throwing shots. Where the jab?

Mathroom didn't have the budget for any decent opponents, hindside they should of had less names and better oppoents. lets hope degale and groves don't stink the place out.

How did you have the McDonnell fight after 6 then? To say this guy isn't throwing back, I mean he doesn't have power, are you actually facing the right way watching the Quigg fight?

Yeah it's rumoured Groves is being paid decent money. I would have liked to have seen him off the card with that money reinvested in the other fights.

119-109

Apparrent pretty early that Quigg wasnt gona drop Otake,but Scott landed some hard shots to head and body that would make a lot of fighters crumble,Hidenori's one tough fellow

This cards gonna overlap the Pacquiao card at this rate

In hindsight??? You're either taking the piss or don't follow boxing - that's been said since day one.

Also, on the "correct spelling of Otake" pedantry: Arguably there is a correct way to spell Otake in the Roman alphabet, because a) Japanese has far fewer sounds than English and, with only a couple of exceptions (e.g. the "f" in Japanese), they closely match their English equivalents; and b) there's an accepted way of transliterating Japanese words into romaji, the Hepburn romanization, which has been used for well over a century and is the accepted standard in Japan. I really should get out more but there are all these stacked boring undercards to get through first.

Sky commentating team is a joke. It was blatantly obvious that Quigg hurt his right hand early in the fight, it was plain as daylight the moment the injury occurred. It's bad enough that both commentators didn't pick that up, but Quigg didn't throw a full blooded right hand punch from about round 4 onwards and neither commentator noticed that? Come on.

This should be a pretty tough fight for Degale based on what ive seen of Periban upto now.

Degale/Periban no doubt will follow the tone of the night so far

Dominant but competitive yet also boring

Still a good match up for James though
