A belt unification is up for grabs when Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg come face-to-face on February 27 at Manchester Arena, with their IBF and WBA super-bantamweight titles on the line.
The bout between the two unbeaten champions has been a long time coming. However, huge anticipation remains ahead of the clash; what with boxing betting punters being indecisive on who to place their bets on.
A review from Gavin Reid, a boxer who lost to both contenders goes thus; “Quigg is certainly the harder puncher of the two, but Frampton has improved so much since then, so it’s such a hard fight to call. If I had to pick a winner, I’d say Quigg because that was my instinct back then. He had the power that impressed me and a tremendous workrate. His power didn’t dip from the first round, and he showed no signs of easing up. But anyone would be crazy to write off Frampton. He too had power, and he would be able to make adjustments because of his level of skill. He is the more polished of the two.”
Frampton is always so aggressive whereas Quigg looks for what he’s doing more and he doesn’t rush things. Frampton aggressiveness might be an Achilles heel for betting fans who back him as he might rush onto something and Quigg definitely has the power to catch him and do damage. The way Quigg boxes is smooth whereas Frampton likes to go in and show power. Looking at their respective previous matches, it’s a safer bet to back Scott Quigg @ 2.35 even if his odds are way higher than Frampton’s.
