What has Quigg done in terms of playing mind games? Turned up to all the press conferences with a smile on his face? Brutal.

That's exactly it. Quigg has barely had to try and Frampton's been wound up. Sparring stories were brought up at the first pressers, but since then little and Frampton's still got a bee in his bonnet. Probably only sprung the dressing room thing as bit of a Hail Mary last gasp attempt. What's probably most telling is that when it was "sorted" Quigg said alright then and left it, where as Frampton went to great lengths to explain/distance himself from how completely not bothered he was about it.

Clearly you didn't watch the gloves are off...

Shane is fast becoming just a celebrity trainer , who gets the job because of hype and bullshit .. Lets see how he goes if they lose and then have to put Haye and Groves in with a 50-50 fuight

Let's not forget that Shane took Flintoff to an unbeaten record. That's got to get runs on the board.

Too much amateur psychology here.

i feckin hate all the 'such and such has won this round of the mindgames battle' shite you get on forums, just cos fighter X didn't look fighter Y directly in the eye in the 19th staredown conducted that day.....

It is like the WWE mindset...so simplistic. I think some people wouldn't be surprised if Eddie jumped in and hit Quigg with a chair, as he leaves up the ramp at the MEN with his new subject, Carl Frampton!

It's clearly a bluff as surely not even McGuigan/Hearn would allow a fight of this magnitude with all the TV and full arena and people travelling many miles to attend already in the city etc etc to be called off.

Brinkmanship will push this all the way by the looks of it, I reckon it will just end up being locked up and none of them using it, brings back memories of "its my ball and I'm taking it home.

Absolutely pathetic.

Quigg's camp should call their bluff and take the dressing room. If the vast majority of fans are Framptons and they have traveled a long way, who do you think would get all the stick if Frampton walked away over a dressing room - Frampton or Quigg?
