Frampton tops Quigg for super-bantam belts

CARL Frampton added Scott Quigg’s WBA super-bantamweight belt to his IBF one by winning their unification fight by split decision on Saturday.

Frampton, from Northern Ireland, was only a slight favorite against local fighter Quigg, and the fight between the unbeaten pair also played out closely over 12 mainly cagey rounds in Manchester. A good final round by Frampton, who frustrated Quigg and came off the ropes with uppercuts, may have decided it for the judges, two of whom scored it 116-112 for him. The third gave it to Quigg by 115-113. Frampton improved his record to 22-0, having owned the IBF belt for a year. Quigg fell to 31-1-2, having lost the WBA version he’s had for three years.
