"Five years in the making and after 12 rounds tonight, that's a brilliant performance from Frampton. It diluted the occasion because he was so superior."

"Five years in the making and after 12 rounds tonight, that's a brilliant performance from Frampton. It diluted the occasion because he was so superior."
Carl Frampton has it! Frampton has won and taken the WBA super-bantamweight world title to go with the IBF belt he already had. Scott Quigg is beaten for the first time.
Split decision. One for Frampton...
Quigg gets one...
Here's Michael Buffer. Hang on...

European cruiserweight champion on BBC Radio 5 live
"Frampton has more variety and his footwork was the key to evading Quigg."
There's chat of a draw. It was a fight of two halves, with only the second set of six rounds making a decent watch.
Richie Woodhall
Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 live
"Frampton boxed sensibly. He didn't stand toe to toe with Quigg. Quigg will punch a hole through you if you do that but Frampton judged it superbly in the last round."
Now Quigg is being carried around the ring. These world titles will be decided by the judges. Hang on for the scores...
The final bell. The crowd are singing Quigg's name. The fighters embrace. All the guff that has gone on before has not affected these men. Frampton is celebrating...
Thirty seconds. One last exchange...
Quigg can't get anything more. They tie up. Into the final minute...
Frampton gets low, trying to nullify the flaying Quigg. Does Frampton think he's got it if he gets through this? It's clever stuff....
Is Frampton still far enough ahead? Does Quigg have to find a knockout? Frampton makes a good start to the final round as the crowd sing some more.
Last round. Who wants it?

"It's just a shoot-out now, who can take the most punishment and stand the most blows?"
Huge from Quigg! Frampton all over the place, but the ref in there to break them up. It was a right on to the jaw. One to go, and Quigg is all over the Jackal.

"Scott Quigg let Frampton off the hook. He caught him with a great shot, then stood back and admired his work instead of following it up."
Noise turned up, more body work from Quigg, Frampton looks to his corner in distress. The Northern Irishman is holding on. Quigg would have this fight go longer...
Quigg is landing some solid lefts. Body, then head. The referee come between them, then Frampton unloads some left to the bread basket.
