Super featherweight contender Jono Carroll (18-1-1, 4 KOs) scored an eleventh round TKO over former WBA super bantamweight ruler Scott Quigg (35-3-2, 26 KOs) on Saturday night at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
The heavily bearded Carroll was too fast and strong for the smaller Quigg, who made five defenses of the WBA 122lb crown. The one-sided beatdown ended when Quigg’s corner threw in the title with their man taking shots in round eleven. Time was 2:14. Quigg entered as a -175 favorite.

Wow. I picked Quigg but well done Jono.
Threw in the title ?
Please tell me those aren’t marijuana leaves on the side of Carroll’s trunks.
Quigg had nothing to offer and Carroll was very sharp indeed.
Sad for Quigg – surely the end for him now
The Irishman boxed brilliantly and called his stoppage win despite being a very light hitter. But he was so dominant over Quigg, that he was able to start sitting down on his punches later in the fight. Joe Gallagher gave Quigg every opportunity to show him something or he was going to stop the fight. Quigg did not answer back.
