I live in Manchester. I know a bit about these two fighters. A good friend of mine is part of Quigg's team.
When the fight was first announced I was surprised that Ricky Hatton was willing to risk putting Quigg in with Munroe. What MAY have caused this was that Munroe had a bad sparring session with a local boxer, and the word got out that he'd been put down by a so-so fighter in sparring. But this particular fighter is someone who happens to be an A fighter in the gym...but only a B fighter in actual fights Nerves, maybe. Who knows. Anyway, the word is that Hatton was fooled a bit by this bad sparring performance by Munroe, and may have made a mistake by letting young Quigg fight Munroe this early, mistakenly thinking that Munroe was a bit over the hill.
I can tell you that people in Quiqq''s own camp are worried about this fight, and think it's a toss-up. But you can get almost 2/1 odds on Munroe, which on a toss-up fight, is like stealing.
Sure, you can lose the bet....just as if I offered to pay you 2/1 if you could call heads or tails on a coin toss you could lose, even though you'd be a fool not to take the bet.
My money is on Munroe. I've met Scott a few times and he's a great kid. But this may be a little too much, too soon for him. The smart money has to be on the dog here.

Don't agree and I have made a decent bet on Quigg on points after researching this fight. Munroe is a very honest fighter, but he lacks the class to be a world class fighter. I have no doubt Bernard Dunne beats him easy if that fight was ever made.
Quigg has bags of potential and they are throwing him at the right time with Munroe who has done very little since his world title loss. I think Quigg outboxes Munroe to a points decision and that is my play...
One fighter is on the way up, the other on the way time. Love the timing for Quigg here...

Well, we shall see. Your opinion is certainly one I pay a LOT of attention to. With you on the other side I'll probably keep my bet on Munroe modest in size, to be honest.
Scott is training his ass off for this fight, I've seen him doing some amazing things in the gym.
And although my money is on Munroe, simply as a matter of business, if it turns out you're right, I won't be disappointed to lose a few quid. I'd actually hate to see Quigg lose...he's really a nice guy.
But the last fight of his in Bolton...v Jamie Arthur, I was in Row 2, and had a VERY good look at the fight. I didn't see world class ability in Quigg yet. Euro-level, yes. World level?? 'Not so sure. He may very well get to that level, but I'm not convinced it's there YET. To me, it's a value play...getting +175 on a fight that could go either way.
Anyway, I'll be sitting ringside for the Quigg/Munroe fight, so if I'm wrong, I'll be the first to know:-)

Those domestic fighters are a good way to drain one's bank account.
'Not sure I agree. To me, betting is all about knowing things that everyone else doesn't know. What EVERYONE knows is already in the line...so there's no betting value. The fights at domestic level are often easier to get a bit of inside info on. Since I am friends with people inside British boxing, I often get reports on how people are looking in camp, for example.
In this case, I know that Quigg himself questioned how the hell he was a 2/1 favourite in the fight. That doesn't mean he won't win, but a lot of people, including one of the fighters, don't think the odds reflect the true abilities of the two fighters.
Another example is Haye/Chisora. Casual fans seem to like the Chisora bet.....he fought 12 rounds with Vitali, etc, etc. People I know who are inside the British game say it's a NO BRAINER. Haye is at a completely different level than Chisora, and virtually can't lose this fight. The odds aren't great...you'll have to lay -250 or so. But that's still a good payoff on a near sure thing.
Chisora is a mid-high-level domestic fighter. Haye, though I hate the asshole personally.....is, like it or not, at the international level.
You get paid money when you win a domestic bet just the same way you get paid if you bet Mayweather/Pacquiao. It's like betting small conference college basketball games...sometimes it's easier to get an edge on the bookies on the more obscure games. That's why I bet domestic boxing as well as the bigger fights.
