What are they saying?

Carl Frampton, on Scott Quigg:

"I think he is a very fit guy who trains very hard. He can punch hard but he hasn't shown he has a boxing brain in any of his fights yet from what I have seen, so I think that may be a weak point.

"I don't think he can adapt and his ring intelligence isn't great."

Scott Quigg, on Carl Frampton:

"As a person, a family man, I have all the respect for him. But at this moment he's my opponent, and he's going to try and stop me becoming what I want to become.

"That's why he's my enemy at the moment. All I'm thinking of is beating him."

Joe Gallagher, Scott Quigg's trainer, on Carl Frampton's trainer Shane McGuigan:

"There's a lot of smoke and fanfare around Shane McGuigan obviously because he's the son of Barry McGuigan.

"The jury is still out on him as a trainer. I was a bit disappointed about the article where he tried to take all the credit for all the work that has been done with Carl over the years.

"I thought that was a bit out of order. He's new to the game and he just needs to knuckle down and crack on with it."

Kiko Martinez, recent opponent of both Frampton and Quigg:

"Frampton will win against Quigg. He's the more complete boxer. He is stronger as well."
