This Saturday IBF world super-bantamweight champion Frampton would be facing WBA holder Quigg in the Sky Sports
Box Office unification bout and David
Haye is adamant that the match-up is more one-sided having trained side by
side with Frampton since joining Shane McGuigan's gym.
The former world heavyweight champion told Sky Sports News that “For me, Carl Frampton's technique, punch
variety, movement and angles are a bit better than Quigg's. Quigg is very good,
strong and has great punch output but I don't believe this fight is about
fitness or power - it's about technique and who can adapt on the night. That
falls with Frampton. I've seen him adapt in training. Do something in one spar
and then do something completely different. His last few sessions, I was
mesmerised. I've seen a lot of fighters up close. I've seen him progress to the
point where he could do anything in the ring. He was avoiding everything and
land what he wanted to land. After the last sparring session I thought:
'Wow. There's only going to be one winner in this fight.' I didn't know he
could do that. I was like: 'Are you going to do that on the night? Then it's
going to be easy for you. It's going
to be absolute fireworks. It's a great thing for a country to have a champion
but when you've got two from the same country, it makes for a huge fight. The
last time was myself against Enzo
Maccarinelli. He had a lot more hype than I had so when we fought at The
O2, it was really special. The first big fight I ever had. That fight was
supposed to be a 50-50 fight but in my heart, I knew it was heavily in my
favour. The same thing is being said about Frampton v Quigg but after seeing
what I've seen in training, I believe it's in Frampton's favour. It's going to
be special and people will look back at this fight in years to come and say it
was where the superstar was born”.
Frampton's preparation has been honed to perfection by McGuigan, whose
willingness to embrace new ideas has impressed Haye enormously.
