Now an IBF Title Eliminator.



Winner to face Selby if Barros still has his issues.

FFS! Awful fight.

Not a Quigg fan but at least he will fight Selby unlike Warrington

I don't mind him, but this is some WBA-level bull.

Jan/February Quigg wasn't ranked at Feather. March, having not thrown a punch since December '16 is thrust to 5th, and now in April he's into title eliminators.

When he's done with boxing he should move into buisness advice or something. Few others can get such regular promotions for doing so little!

What a god awful undercard

It's absolutely dreadful. Considering it's at Wembley and a PPV its really poor. I'm not arsed about any of the undercard fights tbh.

What a load of sh*t

The most expensive ppv in Sky Sports history to coincide with the worst ppv card under matchroom. If they made Campbell Vs Mendy rematch for the euro and quigg v Galahad it would have been semi acceptable. All the home fighters will win comfortabley as the card stands.

Odds -

Quigg = 1/25
Simeon = 12/1

is Simeon worth a couple of quid?

It's annoying because I'll end up getting absolutely smashed on JD while I'm bored watching the undercard, and will probably end up passing out for the main event

Been there mate

With the hype building from Sky, I wouldn't be surprised if they cut out mid-round in a few of the fights, just to show us AJ flexing in the dressing room mirror.

Adam Smith will be in rubbing baby oil on him

Selby beat simian and so will Quigg, I like quigg

What you on about lads 2/1 or 7/4 is a gift from the gods - it pays for the ppv & beer.

Lump on - this fight is the godsend of the night!

This was a decent fight but the crowd were dead.

Not sure whether it was Simion looking good or Scott looking terrible. He will have to do a lot better if he fights Selby.

Decent fight?
Quigg took so many punches! If he took on an opponent with power he would have been out of there in 5 rounds or less. I was dismayed with his lack of defence, hoping that Roach had at least taught him that much.
But Scott just fought like he always does. Not good enough to beat any of the top 5 in that weight class. Maybe he just needs more time at the Wildcard, or maybe he is too set in his ways. He has such good natural attributes, speed/endurance/chin/engine/power, it's a shame he is let down somewhat by a lack of basic defensive skills.

Turned out to be pretty decent to be fair. From an entertainment point of view anyway.

Quigg I think just knew Simion couldn't hurt him, so was happy to eat the shots.

It was a good scrap but bloody 'ell, Quigg's defense was atrocious. He must have been watching a bit too much of Arturo Gatti. His career won't last much longer if he continues fighting like that.

I thought it was good to watch. Defensively was worrying. I have followed Scott for most of his career and def nice has been one of his stronger attributes.

His power has been overstated in the past. He finished his last opponent brilliantly but that was a super bantam moving up.

Whilst I approved of the trainer change I didn't see improvement. With Joe Gallagher in the corner he may have lost or drawn last night actually.

I don't think he has particularly good speed

I think Simion deserves a lot of credit. Not many fighters would have survived some of the right-handers he took. He also gave Selby a difficult fight .

Simion lacks power but deffo not heart, what a genuinely tough little guy.
