Two knock downs means a 10-7 round?

Syferus · July 18, 2015, 10:17:27 PM

What the holy hell was that first round about.

This is a nightmare from frampton! And quigg won in 2 rounds!

This is turning into a hell of a fight. Hopefully come out the right side of it,can't chase too much,thi boys countering pretty well when he tries get in close.

BennyHarp · July 18, 2015, 10:31:57 PM

This is much tougher than anyone imagined.

Wouldn't give Gonzalez anything but the first round. Made him seem better than he is. Hometown decisions though, so Frampton better keep it up.

Frampton up by three in my book with two to go. Gave Gonzalez the second and ninth in addition to the 10-7. He should be docked another point though.

Frampton showed great character and composure to come back from that nightmare of a first round.

Biggest winner of the night is Eddie Hearn. His bargaining power to make Frampton vs Quigg happen on matchroom's terms looking a whole lot healthier after tonight's proceedings.

tyroneboi · July 18, 2015, 11:12:15 PM

Talking now about moving up in weight? What does that mean for Quigg fight?

Certainly makes Quigg fight more interesting because before tonight I wouldn't have given Quigg a chance.

Carl needs to reign in those excuses - soft canvas, weight issues?

gallsman · July 18, 2015, 11:20:59 PM

I dunno if I buy that chat about weight. If he had to cut drastically the last few days, it'd be down to poor management rather than biology. I don't think he wants any part of featherweight at the minute. Walters would look like an absolute monster beside him.

Doubt it highly. Framps fought a tough Mexican in borderland USA on a canvas clearly designed for Chavez Jr. - he pull the exact same BS in the Andy Lee fight. Quigg had the royal treatment at home. The pace on a proper canvas in Manchester was a world away. Kiko is exciting but so fecking full of holes it isn't funny.

McGuigan will be no more receptive to hardball by Hearn now that his fighter has a profile in the States.

Let's not get carried away. He's had one fight in a half empty arena in the middle of the afternoon. He does not "have a profile" just yet.

Atticus_Finch · July 18, 2015, 11:41:26 PM

Some amount of low blows in the fights tonight. Points deductions have this Crolla's fight.

A profile in the states ? Wise up. I don't think Frampton has a profile off the back of a fight that was staged at 3pm in the afternoon in the US against a fighter that isn't even ranked within the top 50 of his division (box rec)

Don't think a move up in weight would be a good idea either Gallsman.
