Quigg vs Arthur: Live Results and Round-By-Round Coverage

Scott Quigg defends his British super bantamweight title today against Jamie Arthur in Bolton, live on Sky Sports, and Bad Left Hook will have live, round-by-round coverage. Dave Oakes will handle the round-by-round duties.
The fight will go live at 3 p.m. EST.
Here's a snip from Dave's preview of the fight:
Arthur has slight height and reach advantages over Quigg, though Quigg is the much more powerful physically and in terms of punch power. Quigg is also the fresher fighter and looks to be the hungrier - Arthur’s coquetry with retirement may be a sign that he’s not as ambitious as he once was, although we won’t be able to tell until fight night.
If Arthur still has the desire to become a champion, he could put up a sterling effort, even if it’s most likely to be in vain. If Arthur doesn’t have the fire in his belly, Quigg could steam roll him. One senses it could be somewhere between the two, Arthur giving it a go in the first four rounds but going into his shell as he realises the monumental task in front of him.
On the Undercard
Former world title challenger Rendall Munroe (23-2, 9 KO) faces Argentina's Jose Saez (21-12-6, 11 KO) in a third straight tune-up sort of fight following his loss to Toshiaki Nishioka.
Cruiserweight prospect Matty Askin (12-0, 8 KO) takes on Attila Palko (12-1, 10 KO) of Hungary.
Bantamweight Craig Lyon (12-1-1, 4 KO) looks to get his first win in three outings, facing veteran Yuriy Voronin (21-13-2, 16 KO).
Former European super featherweight champ Stephen Foster Jr (28-3-1, 18 KO) meets Yauheni Kruhlik (10-13-3, 2 KO) in a bounce-back fight.

BN on the laptop? I’m getting increasingly pissed off by their refusal to offer the service on the Internet. I’m paying the tenner a month but unable to watch a thing because I’m at university and the channel is only available on TV. I signed up in December, just before the Cotto fight, because it said ‘Internet viewing will become available very soon’ or something along those lines, and it still says exactly the same thing. They haven’t responded to ANY of my queries either. Really, really pissing me off.

I know i shouldn’t prejudge the lad but something about Joe Murray just irks me.
Plus i just don’t think he’s gonna get that far.

I think it could be the ginger hair, which i’m actually disappointed in myself for thinking. :)
He seems like an OK lad on tv.
I think it’s also partly to do with the amateur credentials and therefore the bit of pro hype he got. I know he got less than most of the others but i also thought he was the least impressive of the Olympians from 2008.
I hope he proves me wrong.
Boxing needs more ginger warriors.

Round 4 – Murray missing a lot, he does get a straight right home but it’s sporadic successes for Murray. Still Murray’s round but he’s not setting the place alight by any means.
Looking all out of sorts
work rate is doing it just about
by Sweet science on Feb 4, 2012 3:30 PM EST up reply actions
Round 5 – Murray could do with stepping up the pace here. Murray gets caught going back in a straight line – amateur mistake. You can tell Murray has been out of action for 8 months, he’s struggling with his timing. The fact he’s throwing too many single shots isn’t helping him. Closer round. I’m scoring it even, Murray was the busier but he wasn’t landing much.
The jab isn't landing either
Not helping at all
by Sweet science on Feb 4, 2012 3:33 PM EST up reply actions
Round 6 – Good right from Murray early but struggles to land a follow up shot. In fact, he’s not landed anything in the following 3o seconds. Nice left hook to the body by Murray was partially blocked. Again Murray’s the busier, his opponent isn’t doing much at all apart from avoiding punches, he’s not coming back with hhis own shots. Murray’s round.
Hopefully this makes him

Round 7 – Decent left hook brushes the chin of Graterol. Murray still missing, Grat doing nothing, very negative. Murray trying to get up on his toes more, still missing wildly though. Graterol throws a few punches in the last 30 seconds, Murray responds but nothing much is landing. Murray’s round, just.
Round 8 – Final round of a pretty dull fight. And it’s much of the same again, Murray missing, Graterol not doing much. Good left hook to the body by Murray, and another one 30 seconds later.
I’ve got it 80-73 for Murray. It wasn’t a great performance but that will have helped shed some of the ring rust.
I’ll go 4 officially

He’s very well rounded. better on the front foot IMO as he had lethal body shots
Maybe could work on his defense just a tad, but at this level, no major weaknesses has shown IMO (But I am by no means and expert in the technical side of the sport)

Quigg is coming out to “Not Afraid”. Jamie Arthur’s probably quite chuffed about that, really.

Round 1 – Patient start by Quigg, he’s looking for openings rather than trying to force them. Arthur misses with an overhand right. Quiet round, both fighters are having a look, not rushing into anything. Even round 10-10.
Quigg round that
Keeping a nice tight guard but also getting through with his own shots
19 – 19 for me
Round 2 – Nice right from Quigg, and another moments later. Arthur not landing and starting to get countered a bit more this round. I’m not sure if Arthur landed a single shot in that round. Quigg’s round. 20-19 Quigg
Good round for Quigg. Looks really good defensively

Winged in a couple of his body shots. Would like to see him chuck a couple more of those. They are vicious when he commts to them

Round 4 – Nearly a minute in and Quigg gets floored by a big right hand. That’s hurt him, Arthur looking for the finish. Quigg hurt for the first time in his career, he’s starting to get his legs back now and is looking to trade, and lands a massive left hook that knocks Arthur’s head back.
Er, it’s fair to say the fight has now caught fire.
10-8 round for Arthur.
Yes

Round 5 – Quigg is letting his hands go now. I think the knockdown has embarrassed him and he wants show who the boss is in this round. Great left hook to the bbody by Quigg, Arthur responds with two of his own. A good left hook to the head by Quigg, whose starting to bully Arthur, who catches Quigg coming in with an uppercut.
I don’t think anyone was predicting a fight like this. Quigg finishes the round strongly, landing some classy shots.
Quigg’s round. 48-47 Quigg.
Quigg showed in that round why he is one of the best prospects in Britain
Poured it on his man. Used those body shots and pbacked him up
Yes, the body shots will be telling methinks.
"Leon Spinks is so ugly that when a tear rolls down his face, it only gets halfway, then it rolls back up" - Muhammad Ali.
I do think Quigg has become more of a Gallagher-type fighter recently – perhaps too much, to be honest. Before moving to Joe’s gym, he used to fight with the left hand held a lot lower and in turn looked to draw leads and throw right hand counters, particularly from the right hand. Now, while he’s still defensively strong because of his good feet and quick reflexes, he doesn’t throw nearly anywhere near as many counter shots because of the high guard. For a guy with such good timing, I kind of feel that the high guard can actually be unnecessarily conservative. I don’t know – might just be me.

Meant to say particularly with the uppercut, but y’all know what I mean.

I think it’s definitely harder to counter form a high guard. You have less options with your shots.
"Leon Spinks is so ugly that when a tear rolls down his face, it only gets halfway, then it rolls back up" - Muhammad Ali.
Yeah, exactly. Quigg isn’t John Murray – he’s got such excellent balance and good upper body movement that he doesn’t need to keep both hands so high or move in straight lines. It won’t make too much difference at this level, but against better fighters, I really hope Quigg isn’t held back.

Round 6 – This is more like it from Quigg, defence is back to being tight and he’s landing some neat body shots. Arthur still doing well and attacking the body himself. Quigg’s strength starting to have an effect, he’s pushing Arthur back and catching him to head and body.
Big round for Quigg.
58-56 Quigg.
indeed
good going on the rbr Dave, just caught up here. Was expecting this to be relatively easy, like most…
I actually Have no filter.
Round 7 – Quigg landing some heavy blows, a good solid right lands on Arthur who is trapped against the ropes. Massive right counter by Quigg, I think that had an effect on Arthur, another one seconds later, Quigg is getting to Arthur. Arthur showing his toughness under a monstrous barrage of blows from Quigg. Arthur’s cut by the right eye.
Quigg round. 68-65 Quigg

I’m probably a bit less impressed, but I was about as high on Quigg as possible. He needed to look human eventually, but this kind of reminds me of Groves-Anderson.

True, though im probably a bit more impressed, just as it’s always nice to know a fighter has the bottle and the aggression and ego to come back from a knockdown like that. He was fighting like mans possessed those last few rounds

Round 8 – Arthur needs to get himself back into it here, which is easy for me to say from the comfort of a my PC chair. Solid left hook to the body by Arthur, AND THE REF STOPS IT. Shocking stoppage, absolutely shocking, the shot hurt Arthur but it wasn’t enough for a stoppage.

It seemed a bit early, but that was a really bad reaction from Arthur, which made it look like he was really hurt, like either a broken rib or a really good liver shot. I understand why the ref would want to jump in there.

Love how he whipped them in. Should have went down their sooner should Quigg
Really showed why he is as highly touted as he is after he got KD.
I’m seeing the Fampton fightas abit closer now though. Frampo hits pretty hard.

Can he keep Quigg off of him? I doubt it if Quigg fights like he did from Round 5 onwards

Round 1 – Munroe needs to start getting his career back on track. He’s got his opponent down in the first 20 seconds by a solid left hook . Munroe pinning his foe against the ropes and hammering home some hefty whacks. Great left hook to the body by Munroe and that’s it, Saez went down and was stopped as he got to his feet.
