(Photo Credit Matchroom Boxing) By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA super bantamweight champion Scott Quigg says his surgery on his broken jaw was a success. Squigg, 27, suffered a broken jaw in his 12 round split decision loss to IBF champion Carl Frampton last Saturday night in their fight on Sky Box Office at the Manchester, Arena.
Quigg fought the last eight rounds with the broken jaw, and was able to fight at a high level in the second half of the contest despite the injury. In hindsight, the fight should have stopped by Quigg’s corner when they saw the swelling because it was a risky thing for him to fight with a broken jaw.
