By Scott Gilfoid: With his hoped for unification fight against IBF super bantamweight champion Carl Frampton now off the table, WBA 122 pound belt holder Scott Quigg (30-0-2, 22 KOs) is reportedly will be facing former IBF 122lb champion Kiko Martinez (32-5, 24 KOs) in the summer in a fight that will take place on July 18th at the Manchester Arena.
As bad as Quigg has looked in some of his past fights against the likes of Yoandris Salinas, I wouldn’t be surprised if Martinez takes this fight. Quigg is definitely a shaky champion with decent but far from great skills. Martinez has to be seen as a live dog in this fight.
