The_budweiser Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Scott Quigg says his WBO title fight against Oscar Valdez is "99 per cent" agreed and hopes to make his name in America with victory over the highly-rated Mexican. Promoter Eddie Hearn is close to finalising a deal for Quigg to become the next challenger for the unbeaten WBO featherweight champion Valdez, with a likely location of the StubHub Center in California on March 10. Quigg was initially informed about the fight a month ago and expects to sign the contract in the next few days before flying out to Los Angeles to link up with trainer Freddie Roach.

pittbox Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Re: Anyone give Scott Quigg a chance against Oscar Valdez? Basically, a 50/50 fight for me. Quigg has only lost a close decision against Frampton and Valdez has never fought someone of his caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Re: Anyone give Scott Quigg a chance against Oscar Valdez? Quigg obviously has seen enough in their sparring sessions to believe he can win the fight. Be interesting to see how Quigg develops under Freddie Roach in 2018 - It's nearly a year they have been together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cableaddict Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Re: Anyone give Scott Quigg a chance against Oscar Valdez? I know literally nothing about Quigg. I didn't even see his loss to Frampton. (I'm a shallow American, what can I tell you?) - But Valdez is an incredible boxer, especially with his jab having gotten so much better in the last year. (Kudos to Manny Robles.) Not just technically excellent, but he showed great boxing IQ against Marriaga, completely changing his attack in the middle of the fight. Nice ability to occasionally switch to southpaw, too. Plus, of course, he has excellent power. His only weakness is a general tendency to throw everything at full speed, a trait that cost him in the Servania fight. - But we saw him varying his jab in the last few rounds of the Marriaga fight, so I think Robles has been working on this. I think Valdez is one of the top 10 or so fighters in the game today. So... somebody give me the skinny on Quigg.

WelshDevilRob Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Re: Anyone give Scott Quigg a chance against Oscar Valdez? Both can slug, carry power and are strong. Both vulnerable to getting caught. I favour Valdez, as I don't think Quigg would beat Miguel Marriaga or Genesis Servania. Really looking forward to the match-up, should be an exciting battle.

gavpowell Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Re: Anyone give Scott Quigg a chance against Oscar Valdez? I give him a chance - he need only grease the floor and hope Valdez falls and hits his head en route to the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigg winning would really surprise me, almost shock me. Not saying he is not good but he's just not of Valdez's caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
