Scott Quigg

Agbeko possible opponent for Quigg’s fight on November 22nd

by

quigg433By Scott Gilfoid: According to ESPN, 34-year-old former two time IBF bantamweight champion Joseph Agbeko 29-5, 22 KOs) is a possible opponent for WBA World super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg’s next title defense on November 22nd on the undercard of the Tony Bellew vs. Nathan Cleverly 2 fight card at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.

Quigg’s promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport is working on matching Quigg against either Agbeko or little known #3 WBA Shingo Wake (17-4-2, 10 KOs). Either one of those guys are perfect opponents because they’re not much of a threat at all to beat 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, Joshua and Crolla in action tonight

by

joshua222By Scott Gilfoid: In a series of clear mismatches tonight in a card at the Phones 4U Arena in Manchester, WBA super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg (28-0-2, 21 KOs) will be making a defense against #12 IBF Stephane Jamoye. Quigg is a currently a huge 20-1 favorite to whip Jamoye, who is a replacement for another fringe contender #15 IBF Paulus Ambunda that Quigg’s promoter had him scheduled to fight.

Quigg should win with ease tonight, but with him facing an over-matched opponent, his fight hasn’t attracted much attention unfortunately.

Weights: Quigg 121.4, Jamoye 121.8

by

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

by

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

by

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.
