Scott Quigg

Super 6 needed for Super Bantamweight Division?

by

rigondeaux00By Gav Duthie: I had hoped that the Super 6 conceived by Sauerland Promotions for the super middleweight division in 2009 would be a mainstay in the future of boxing but it definitely now seems to be a one off. I have secretly hoped it would return just to add some spice into certain divisions but now I really feel the idea or something similar is essential for the Super Bantamweight division.

Last Saturday on different fight cards we witnessed WBC champion Leo Santa Cruz 28-0-1 (16) and WBA regular champion Scott Quigg 29-0-2 (22) destroy completely overmatched opponents in uninspiring title defences.

Quigg destroys Jamoye; Joshua stops Airich

By Scott Gilfoid: In a predictable outcome, WBA World super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg (29-0-2, 22 KOs) stopped the over-matched Stephane Jamoye (26-7, 16 KOs) in the 3rd round on Saturday night at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Weights: Quigg 121.4, Jamoye 121.8

quiggBy Scott Gilfoid: WBA World super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg (28-0-2, 21 KOs) weighed in successfully on Friday for his fight on Saturday night against #12 Stephane Jamoye (26-5, 16 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Jamoye is a replacement opponent for another fringe contender Quigg was going to face in #15 IBF Paulus Ambunda. Quigg’s promoter Eddie Hearn basically exchanged one fringe contender for another one when he made the Quigg-Jamoye fight.

Carl Frampton vs. Scott Quigg: Someone’s ‘O’ has got to go

quigg4334By Conor Farrelly: Carl Frampton the newly crowned IBF Super Bantamweight Champion (19-0) and Scott Quigg the WBA “Regular” Super Bantamweight Champion (28-0-2) is a match made in heaven. If this fight was to materialize it would symbolize what is right in boxing.

The boxing politics which has stopped so many mouth-watering match ups cannot stop a fight which would promise to be a blockbuster within Ireland and the United Kingdom. Eddie Hearn and Barry McGuigan must put “the people” aka the fans at the forefront of their thoughts, as fighting men both Quigg and Frampton would take the fight in a heartbeat.

Quigg wants Frampton fight in Manchester, not Belfast

quigg433By Scott Gilfoid: Just as I expected, WBA 122 pound strap holder Scott Quigg (28-0-1, 21 KOs) prefers to face IBF super bantamweight champion Carl Frampton in England rather than Belfast, which is where Frampton’s manager Barry McGuigan wants the fight to take place.

Quigg has a title defense coming up next week on September 13th that he has to get out of the way first against bantamweight Stephane Jamoye (26-5, 16 KOs) that he has to get out of the way first before he can think seriously about fighting Frampton in a unification fight, and even then, the IBF is going to need to give Frampton permission to bypass his #1 IBF mandatory challenger Chris Avalos for the fight against Quigg to happen.

Scott Quigg vs. Stephane Jamoye on September 13th in Manchester, UK

by

quigg433By Scott Gilfoid: WBA World super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg (28-0-2, 21 KOs) will be fighting #10 WBC bantamweight contender Stephane Jamoye (26-5, 16 KOs) on September 13th at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, Lancashire, United Kingdom.

Quigg was supposed to be fighting Paulus Ambunda, but he suffered a hamstring pull during training and had to pull out of the fight.

What’s interesting about Quigg facing the 24-year-old Jamoye on September 13th is the fact that Jamoye has lost 2 out of his last 3 fights. You don’t see that a lot, a champion fighting a contender struggling like Jamoye has been recently.

Scott Quigg in need of opponent for Sep.13 after Ambunda suffers injury training

by

quigg632By Scott Gilfoid: WBA World super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg (28-0-2, 21 KOs) got some bad news on Friday with his opponent #15 IBF Paulus Ambunda suffering a hamstring injury during training for their September 13th scheduled fight, causing him to pull out of the fight.

Quigg’s promoter will now need to try and find a suitable replacement that can come in on 3 weeks’ notice to take the fight. Obviously, the World Boxing Association will need to approve the opponent so that they can sanction the fight. The good news is that with Ambunda being a fringe level fighter at #15, it really shouldn’t be that difficult for Quigg’s promoter Eddie Hearn to find another opponent.

Hearn: Leo Santa Cruz didn’t want Scott Quigg fight

By Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn says that he offered WBC super bantamweight champion Leo Santa Cruz a unification fight against his fighter WBA 122 pound champion Scott Quigg (28-0-2, 21 KOs), but he chose not to take the fight, Hearn said.

Scott Quigg vs. Paulus Ambunda on September 13th in Manchester, UK

quigg433By Scott Gilfoid: WBA super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg (28-0-2, 21 KOs) has a nice little mismatch coming up in his next fight on September 13th when he faces fringe contender #15 IBF Paulus Ambunda (21-1, 10 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

This is a case of Quigg being matched against a beatable guy in 33-year-old Ambunda, who was recently beaten last September by Tomoki Kameda by a lopsided 12 round decision. The logical question is why is Quigg fighting a guy that was recently beaten? Who knows?

Santa Cruz wants Quigg next, then Frampton later in the year

Leo Santa Cruz vs Victor Zaleta(Photo credit: Tom Casino/Showtime) By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super bantamweight champion Leo Santa Cruz (27-0-1, 15 KO’s) says he’ll be looking to fight a unification match against WBA World 122lb champion Scott Quigg (28-0-2, 21 KO’s) this Summer, and after that Santa Cruz wants to defend his title against #1 WBC, #2 IBF Carl Frampton (18-0, 13 KO’s) at the end of the year. Santa Cruz says he sees Frampton as the stronger guy between him and Quigg, but Frampton doesn’t have a title in his possession like Quigg, so he’s less important right now.

It makes a heck of a lot of sense for Santa Cruz to go after Quigg so that he can unify the titles before he takes the lesser fight against Frampton. That may be a big fight in Northern Ireland where Frampton is from, but in the U.S, a Frampton-Santa Cruz fight doesn’t mean much more than Santa Cruz’s previous title defenses against the likes of Cristian Mijares, Cesar Seada, Victor Terrazas, Alexander Munoz, Victor Zaleta and Eric Morel.
