The Boxing World reacts to Frampton-Quigg
Carl Frampton overcame Scott Quigg last night to unify the WBA and IBF super bantamweight titles in front of unimaginably loud crowd at the Manchester Arena.
It was certainly a clash that got people talking and below we have collated some of the twitter reaction to the PPV showdown:
Frampton done what he had to box & move, unified champ,

Some were not happy with judge Levi Martinez who scored the bout in favour of Quigg:
116-112 was about right. The judge who gave it Quigg should never be allowed to judge again.

And one man in particular stepped up his campaign to secure a fight with the pair.
Just so #FramptonQuigg know. I still want to fight both of you. So STOP THINKING ABOUT A REMATH. FIGHT ME FIRST!
