Here’s what Martin and Joshua had to say at Thursday’s final press conference.

 

Charles Martin:

“I don’t consider this a risk. L'O2 Arena, that’s my arena. I’m comfortable everywhere I go. When eyes are on me, I’m going to perform.

 

“I know how to move my head and be evasive. Real true analysts see the things I do. They can tell.

 

“I’m always here to prove the doubters wrong. When you doubt me, that just fuels my fire.

 

“We’re going to keep the tide rolling. We’re rolling.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

They know when it comes to these big heavy-hitters we don’t play games. We’re here to go to war. We’ve just got two generals in the ring and the best army wins.

 

You know what I’m like, Je suis un combattant. I’m not going to go in there and dance around and try to evade punches. I’m going to walk through two to give him five. That’s just how it goes, I’m coming for him.

 

I’m here to box, but at the same time I know I’m ready to swim through deep waters to get it. It’s not going to be easy, I know that for a fact, no fight is easy. That’s why I said to you I will box and hopefully it will be an easy night.

 

It most definitely is a risk, but at the same time let’s scrap all this 15-fight, 16-fight nonsense and let’s put men in the ring together who want it. Whoever wants it comes out on top and it’s simple as that.”

 

When asked if he can control his emotions: “Probably not. I’ll probably go out and try to take his head off.”

 

Additional Fight Week Quotes (free to use):

 

Charles Martin:

 

“I don’t know how the fans will react to me knocking him out, but that’s what is going to happen. I don’t know how the fans in London will react, but I can only be myself.

 

«Je suis champion du monde, but a lot of people don’t know me. After I knock him out we’ll see where that goes.

 

“I’m not going to go in there respecting anybody’s power. He’s going to have to respect me and my power and deal with me and my tools. I don’t care what he’s bringing to the table.

 

“This is my livelihood and I get real emotional with this. If you don’t take emotion into it then how are you even going to win? I’ve got to walk my own path. When I get emotional ahead of a big fight like this, I feel that I cannot be stopped. Even if I have doubt, I always have that.

 

“I don’t think about where he’s been. All I care about is where he’s going. I don’t care if he’s been in deep water before, or how many rounds he’s been. I want him to remember the word ‘timber’ because I’m going to make his ass hit that canvas real hard.

 

“This belt is mine. He’s trying to take what’s mine, take something from me. He’s trying to steal food out of my mouth, out of my kids’ mouth, out of my family’s mouth. This is my livelihood.

 

“I don’t want to let this go: this is never going to end. I want to be known as the greatest southpaw heavyweight that ever put on a set of gloves.

 

“When I get to this point now, I can’t be stopped. I’m like Lamon Brewster versus Wladimir Klitschko when he unloaded all those shots until he couldn’t throw anymore punches. And then what did Lamon Brewster do? Knock him the (explétif) en dehors. Just that will to win, une. You can throw whatever you want, but I’ll walk through fire to get you.

 

“It’s controlled aggression, bien que, because if it’s not, you’ll run into everything they throw at you. I go in there with my antennas to the ceiling and I won’t take my eyes off him until the job is done.

 

“Everything is just cooking in the kitchen like I am a master chef, and all of the ingredients put together make it perfect.

 

“Life is all about taking risks but I don’t consider this a risk because I’m confident in what I do. It’s all about just taking that first step. You’ve got to walk out on your own and you’ve got to believe in yourself. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t have made it this far. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t be Prince Charles Martin.

 

“The belt is absolutely in the right hands. I didn’t want to win it the way I did – that was just crazy – I don’t even really like talking about it because it wasn’t my fault. Ensuite, he walked out of the venue – he didn’t limp or get carried out, he walked. If that was me I’d have fought on and gone out on my shield. You’d have to knock me out no matter what. I don’t care if I break my hand, if I break my jaw, I am not stopping.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“I believe I am ready to win the world title. A lot of people have said that this might be too soon for me, that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but right now my knuckles are itchy and I just want to get in there and show the world what I can do.

 

“When my promoter Eddie Hearn called me up and said ‘do you want to fight Charles Martin for the world heavyweight title?’ I just said: ‘Let’s roll’.

 

“Opportunity knocks and you have to open the door. I have trained and prepared correctly and am ready for this. There’s no turning back. I just embrace it.

 

“We saw the opportunity when Martin called me out. J'étais comme, ‘OK Mr. IBF calling me out.’ The IBF champ calling out the British champ. I’ve got the heavyweight champion of the world calling me out saying he wants to fight me. I say cool. Let’s rock and roll.

 

"A la fin de la journée, let’s strip away the heavyweight title and let’s look at the opponent I’m facing. Charles Martin is a southpaw who can box and who can punch a bit.

 

“Facing a southpaw always comes with different angles and different tricks. I can’t go in recklessly because you can easily get counter punched. That’s why sparring is important and having a successful camp is important. I know I’ve done all I can to prepare myself for him.

 

“Let’s welcome Charles into the Lion’s den. He’s coming to The O2 – this is my stomping ground. When I fight here it’s electric and it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere, the best yet. It’s going to be interesting to see how he handles it. What a night it will be if I can lift that belt above my head.

 

“Sometimes you got to put talent to one side and dig deep. C'est le jeu de combat; you got to prove to yourself that when tactics aren’t working, you’ve got to dig a bit deeper, go to war and find a way to win. That’s what I thought when I fought Dillian (Whyte). Certain things weren’t working, I was rushing a bit, I wasn’t in my comfort zone, but I dug deep I found a way to win and I ended the night in a spectacular knockout.

 

“After I do the business with Martin, a fight with (Tyson) Fury is 10 ou 12 months awayproviding he handles his business in (Wladimir) Klitschko rematch.

 

“I find Fury a bit irritating to be honest. All his antics work for him, I suppose, but I can’t wait to fight him. He’s had plenty to say about me, and it’s coming from the same guy that was singing my praises when I sparred with him when I was a complete novice.

 

“As time goes on, it’s going to get worse for the others because my confidence will grow, I’ll train, learn and take it into the ring.

 

“David Haye? Bring it on. My heart tells me I am ready. I am at championship level now. After I get Martin out of the way, David is a massive name and when we’re ready to get it on it will be a huge fight.”

TOMASZ “Goral” ADAMEK: “I’ve had a great camp, great sparring partners and a great team around me. Kuba (ChyckiAdamek’s physical coach), trainer Roger Bloodworththese guys did a great job in the last two months. As Eric said, ‘We are not about talking what we will do, we are ready to actually do it.Molina likes to mix it up, likes to throw punches, and is not afraid. This has to be a great fight just because of that. There’s no what’s after the Molina fight for me. This is the fight which will decide my future. A win means I’m on track for big fights, losing means I cannot do it anymore. What I know is that for this fight I’m much better prepared than I was for both the Glazkov and Szpilka bouts. Mais, bien sûr, what happens in ring will verify our words.
ERIC “Drummer Boy” MOLINA: “For the first time in my career I got 70 days to prepare; unprecedented in the heavyweight division. What do I know about Adamek? He’s a warrior and people in Poland expect great things from him because he’s a Polish boxing legend. In me, he will have a chance to fight one of the best heavyweights in the division and we all will know where we stand. Je suis très confiant, not only that I will win this war Samedi, but also of being the first Mexican-American heavyweight in the future. People will get their money worth Samedi. I can guarantee that. Adamek is highly rated by WBC and IBF, the two most active organizations in boxing. Saturday’s winner will be in the driver’s seat for great fights in the future.
MICHAL CIESLAK: “I also thought that you’re bigger. And I also hope that everything what you’re saying about how good your training camp was is the truth. I can promise you that I will be ready for everything. I’m in the best shape of my life and I will prove that Samedi. Palacios, be ready to fight! I cannot wait anymore to put on a big show.
FRANCISCO “L'assistant” PALACIOS: “He wants to treat me like a stepping stone but the problem with that is I’m not a stepping stone for anyone. I’m a rock! You want to beat me, you have to kill me. And by the way, I thought that Cieślak is bigger. You cannot judge what I can or cannot do just because I’ve got knocked out by Kudryashov in my last fight. It means nothing. Tout d'abord, it happens in boxing and the more importantly, it has nothing to do with what I’m ready to do now with my new team andChillWilson on my side. Just watch: The Wizard Time is coming again.

Présentation de Puerto Rican Heavyweight Jose Medina

Jose Medina.jpg

 

Winter Haven, FL (Mars 21, 2016) - Comme un jeune garçon qui grandit à Puerto Rico, Jose Medina leva les yeux pour les mêmes combattants qui sont à jamais gravés dans leur riche histoire de la boxe.

 

De Felix Trinidad à Miguel Cotto et Juan Manuel Lopez, Medina avait beaucoup de combattants exceptionnels, à admirer. Il y avait une grande différence cependant. Medina était significativement plus grand que tous les grands qui a grandi sur la boxe île fou qui se trouve 1,100 miles au sud de Key West.

 

À 6'3 260 lbs, Medina est plus 75 livres plus grand que le plus grand natif de Porto Rico pour capturer un titre mondial dans Jose Torres. Ceux jaugeant Medina avant de le voir en action peut interroger son conditionnement, mais le 19-year-old est pas seulement pure en vrac si. Dans le gymnase, stablemates lui "Kung Fu Panda" appelé en raison de son agilité incroyablement impressionnant et légèreté à l'intérieur du cercle carré.

 

Comme un amateur, Medina a capturé trois championnats nationaux de Porto Rico avant de déménager en Floride en 2015 où il a remporté la Ligue Athletic police de l'État de la Floride (PAL) titre ainsi que d'argent aux Championnats du Murphy Paul. Il a également rapidement acquis une grande suite, comme la région d'Orlando est l'une des plus grandes populations portoricains aux États-Unis.

 

Cependant, cela ne signifie pas qu'il n'y avait pas sceptiques.

 

«Quand il a d'abord venu ici, il n'a jamais fait l'entraînement en force avant,», A déclaré l'entraîneur Marco Fazzani. «Les gens l'ont vu quand nous sommes allés d'abord dans les gymnases et ils pensaient qu'il était un empoté à cause de son apparence. Ce jusqu'à ce que nous lui avons dans le ring et tout le monde a réalisé Medina est pas une blague. Depuis qu'il a été la formation ici, il a grandi de deux pouces et est devenu beaucoup plus fort physiquement. Nous travaillons également chaque jour pour améliorer son physique ".

 

Sur Mars 4, Medina a fait ses débuts professionnels au Pavillon de l'événement A La Carte à Tampa contre Richard White. Certes nerveux, Medina a surmonté le trac attendus qui sont venus avec enlever le couvre-chef pour la première fois et a marqué un deuxième tour à élimination directe.

 

Après avoir traversé le combat blanc sans incident, Medina se bat pour la deuxième fois en moins de 30 jours où il rencontre Todd Bradley de Brandon, Sport FL dans un combat de quatre rondes dans le cadre de la lutte contre le Mad Integrity’ "Bombs Away 5" Samedi, Avril 2au Bayfront Hilton St. Pétersbourg, FL. Comme un combattant qui est encore en développement dans de nombreux aspects, Medina comprend l'importance de rester occupé et est excité plutôt que nerveux pour son deuxième combat professionnel.

 

«Je suis très reconnaissant à se battre sur cette carte,», A déclaré Medina. "Nous nous attendons à une grande participation sur Avril 2. Je l'ai vu Bradley combattre avant, mais je ne donne jamais mon plan de match à l'extérieur. Plus important, Je veux donner à mes fans un excellent divertissement et sortir victorieux ".

 

Promoteur Joey Orduna de Mad Integrity Lutte Sport, qui était certes surpris quand voir Medina en action, est impatient de l'avoir sur la carte.

 

"Jose a une tonne de talent et il va certainement être un aliment de base dans la région de Tampa-St Pétersbourg comme il se développe. Il a déjà obtenu une très bonne base de fans et comme un poids lourd avec la vitesse et la puissance, le nombre de personnes qui le suivent ne fera que croître. Je suis très heureux de le voir aller travailler sur le 2Dakota du Nord et croyez ceux qui ne l'ont pas vu avant sont un régal ".

 

Le match Medina-Bradley est présenté sur une carte de dix combat promu par Mad Integrity Combat Sports à Bayfront Hilton à Saint-Pétersbourg, FL. La carte comprend un certain nombre de morceaux de Sunshine State, y compris l'événement principal entre welters Ali Tareh, 13-11-5 (6 KO) de Tampa contre Juan Aguirre, 6-16-1, de Jacksonville dans un huit rondes avec le matchup léger très attendu entre St. Jose Petersburg "Lil’ Pacquiao "Resendez, 4-0 (2 KO), et Raul Chirino, 7-1 (3 KO), à partir de Miami.

Building a Better Heavyweight: The Medical Dream Team Behind Undefeated Heavyweight Justin ‘Jawbreaker’ Jones

A prominent group of experts has been assembled to form the team behind undefeated boxer JustinJawbreakerJones and together, they are building a better heavyweight.
Louisiana-born and Houston-based heavyweight Justin Jones is still a relative unknown on the world boxing scene, but based on the support he receives in training, that may be about to change.
Heading up the team is Jones’ conseiller, a man once known as the youngest promoter in Louisiana State history, Kerry Daigle.
Daigle, a long-time respected staple of the Southern boxing scene, as well as a top executive for Juice Plus personal health and safety products, brought in some medical heavy hitters to assist coaches MauriceTermiteWatkins and Eleazar Renteria with the hidden side of training a fighter: nutrition.
Dr. Roy Vartabedian is a best-selling international author who has specialized in the field of health promotion and disease prevention for over 30 ans. He also holds a Master of Public Health degree in Health Education and Nutrition.
Vartabedian’s book, Nutripoints, was a New York Times Best-Seller, and has been used in a total of 13 countries in 10 languages worldwide.
The challenge is when these guys are working out so much, once or twice a day, they’re actually having a problem with losing muscle because it’s hard for them to eat enough calories to maintain their weight,” said Vartabedian, “or the way they do it is unhealthy which will decrease their stamina and endurance.
The average person, says Vartabedian only needs 2000 à 2500 calories per day. Heavyweight fighters in training need somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000 à 4500.
Justin is at 232 lbs right now. He’s at his best at 238. Si, he wants to be on an alkaline diet, which supposedly creates alkalinity in the body which is healthier than acidity for peak performance. That’s means a plant-based and unprocessed food diet. The problem with that kind of diet is it’s very high in bulk and low on calories. What I’ve done is fine tune it for him. I’ve given him a list of high-calorie, good fat foods and added them to his diet so he’s getting more calories and good fats and more fiber. I’m recommending to increase calories in a healthy way with lots of almonds, cashews, sunflowers seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, macadamia nuts, all unsalted. This will add about 500 calories to a person’s diet in about three handfuls a day.
Dr. Charles H. Campbell is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist, specializes in retinal disease. A world-renowned surgeon and the founder and Medical Director of South Texas Retina Consultants, Campbell has given his life to the treatment of macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments and tears, macular holes and puckers, floaters, retinal vein occlusions, complications of cataract surgery, vitritis/uveitis.
Campbell has also lent his talents and know-how to the management of fighters, including former heavyweight contender Skip Scott.
We’re making sure he stays in shape by maintaining a clean lifestyle,” said Campbell. “We make sure he’s eating right. I feel like athletes think they can get all the protein they want, but most of us get 110 grams a day, which is way too much. Si, we can regulate his water and protein intake. He probably needs 10-12 servings of fruit, so we give him Juice Plus which is proven to put about 6 ½ servings into your body.
Campbell says a common mistake fighters make is in their fluid intake.
Most of these athletes don’t drink enough water. For his size he probably needs a gallon and a half a day. But mostly, I hope to help him make sure he doesn’t get off track and eat bad foods.
Daigle has big plans for Jones, who recently signed with Warriors Boxing and Leon Margules, one of the top promotional firms in the world. It was Warriors Vice-President Dominic Pesoli who first gave Jones the added moniker ofTriple J.
There is no heavyweight that has better foot movement and throws more combinations than Triple J,” said Daigle. “Once given the opportunity Justin will surprise the world. There are a lot of taller heavyweights that are rated in the top 10 in every sanctioning body. These guys are made-to-order for him. We are excited about his future in the NEW heavyweight division.
The fighter himself says the help of his medical dream team has been immeasurable already.
The difference has been incredible,” dit Jones. “I don’t want this secret to get out to other fighters! They both got me on Juice Plus for all its healthy vegetables and fruits and they’ve really changed my diet and given me a world of information on how to be healthy. I’ve changed how I eat with their help and it’s really benefitting me. I feel better more energized. When I started training I was 264. My last fight I was 230. It’s just getting me fit. Like a machine that can just go and go and go. That’s what they’re doing for me. I’m eating the right things to stay big but be in perfect shape at this size. I’m eating to gain weight and turning it to athletic muscle. They’re awesome. They’ve made a believer out of me.

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 Carte de combat

Lewiston, Maine (Mars 10, 2016) - Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF), Numéro un la promotion de la lutte régionale de l'Amérique, tiendra son prochain événement, “NEF 22: TOUS LES CHEMINS MÈNENT ICI” sur Samedi, Avril 23, 2016 au Colisée Androscoggin Bank de Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) et combats de boxe professionnels. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” carte de combat. Nick Gulliver (2-0) se réunira Dave Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry – un Jiu-Jitsu brésilien (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) dans le premier tour. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (OMS) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on April 23rd, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, Dave Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Si, for three rounds on April 23rd, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, having gone 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) à “NEF 21” mois dernier.

 

I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.

ANAHEIM, Californie. (Février. 27, 2016) – Lion “Tremblement de terre” Santa Cruz defended his WBA Featherweight World Championship in convincing fashion Samedi nuit, knocking down Kiko “Sensación” Martinez twice in the first round, then ending it on a barrage of punches as the fight was called at 2:09 in the fifth round in the main event of a Showtime Championship Boxing doubleheader at Honda Center in Anaheim, Californie.
Dans la co-métrage sur AFFICHER L'HEURE, 29-ans Hugo Ruiz (36-3, 31 KOs), Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexique, regained his WBC Super Bantamweight World Title with a devastating early knockdown with just 51 seconds into the 12-round fight against 23-year-old Juillet Ceja (30-2, 27 KOs) of Atizapan De Zaragoza, Mexique, in a highly anticipated rematch of their August fight won by Ceja.
Fighting just 10 miles west of his hometown of La Habra and before 7,780 enthusiastic fans, the 27-year-old Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 KOs) continued to establish himself as the King of Southern California as he punished the game 29-year-old Martinez (35-7, 26 KOs) d'Alicante, Valencia, Espagne, avec 570 total punches in just five rounds. Il y avait 1,038 total punches thrown during the fight.
The fans love it when two fighters go toe-to-toe,” Santa Cruz told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray after the fight. “I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I knew I could hurt him with a right hand. He’s a fighter and when he’s knocked down, he’s going to come back. In the fifth round I knew I had to finish him off and I did.
Santa Cruz continued, “We were going toe-to-toe from the beginning. He’s was throwing good punches I was throwing out good punches and the crowd was loving it. Then my dad told me to slow down and be smarter so we started boxing.
Santa Cruz wasted no time getting the upper hand as the opening bell rung. He knocked Martinez out twice in the first round; the first just 23 seconds into the fight and the second on a devastating right hand at two minutes into the round prompting SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo to tell expert analyst Al Bernstein: “We may be able to get to Disneyland before the end of the night.
Martinez fell into a groove in the third and fourth rounds, but got into trouble two minutes into the fifth round as Santa Cruz had him up against the ropes connecting on numerous body shots, uppercuts and combinations before referee Raul Caiz Sr. signaled the end of the fight for Santa Cruz’s second straight world title defense in Southern California.
Martinez said that Santa Cruz, “started to move a lot and he broke my strategy and he fought a great fight. The second round I was getting looser and I was starting to feel much better.
He was like a bull coming forward really strong,” Santa Cruz added. “He has definitely been one of the strongest fighters I’ve been in the ring with yet.
Towards the end I said, ‘this is it, this is my opportunity to take him down. If I don’t finish him right here, it’s going to make it a really tough fight.So I said I was going at it with my all and thankfully it turned out the way that it did.
Santa Cruz, making his second defense after capturing the world title from Abner Mares back in August, said someday he wants to break the records for most punches thrown in a fight. “I wanted to throw as many punches as I can so the fans could get a good show.
Santa Cruz is now eyeing a future potential matchup with IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton à 126 livres ou Gary Russell. “I’m up for anyone,” il dit. “I want the rematch with (Abner) Mères. Since Frampton won, if he’s ready to go up in weight, Je suis prêt pour lui. I challenge him to a fight whenever he’s ready.
In a rematch of the WBC Super Bantamweight World Title he lost last August, the new 122-pound champion Ruiz improved his record to 5-0 in rematches (avec cinq coups de grâce) as he delivered a stunning first-round knockout against Ceja, who injured his right ankle on a powerful clean right just seconds into the fight sending him to the canvas.
Ceja got up slowly but was battered with a fury of punches and knocked out again with just 51 seconds into the fight ending the affair.
I was very prepared to knock him out, but I was prepared to go 12 tours ce soir also if I had to,” dit Ruiz, who was teary and emotional following the victory. “I was happy to knock him out in the first round. I’m looking for the best fighters and the best money out there.
Said SHOWTIME analyst Paulie Malignaggi: “I’ve never seen a first-round KO that soon in a fight of this much importance.Added SHOWTIME’s Bernstein: “The right hand was the weapon of choice for Ruiz, and he got the job done. What a moment of redemption for Ruiz!”
Sourcil, who beat Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August to win the world title, was hurt from the first series of Ruiz punches and never recovered in the intense first round.
Ceja was taken to nearby UC Irvine Hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right ankle.
I saw that he got hurt with the first punch and I saw his leg wobbling and so I said, ‘Let’s finish’,” Ruiz a dit. “And I did in that round.
Plus tôt Samedi de Manchester, Angleterre, sur Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL, IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott QUIGG.
The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 KOs) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ tableaux de bord.
QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12e and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, mais 116-112 twice for Frampton.
