Is it just me or did that count start at 6!!

The count starts as soon as he's down. The ref sends the opponent away, then looks at the timekeeper and takes over.

Thought that - he was certainly down for over 10! Great hit - my head was spinning just looking at it!

8 then 10 is right...madness

[ONeill]

Yes, the ref's fingers definitely went from 8 to 10.

[ONeill]

Weird one that. Dunne saying he'd have finished him off anyway but that's speculation. He seemed fairly clear-headed when remonstrating with the ref straight away.

Tables turned and Frampton got up in the same circumstances, there'd have been a riot.

[J OGorman]

Agreed.....thought none of them gave that old warrior any respect there.  Has had 15 world title fights. Hasnt been stopped since 1999. Trains hard, travels across the world and doesn't get a fair craic because of a complete and utter cockup by the ref

Not Framptons fault. Class act in and out of the ring. Superb boxer. World champion before the year is out

[bridgegael]

never saw fight.  did the ref make a balls of it?

[ONeill]

Frampton knocked him down with a clinker. He stayed on one knee, winked at his corner, smiled at Frampton and seemed OK to continue. The ref counted 6....7....8...10. He jumped up at 10 to say what the feck.

Aye back from fight. We all said same thing. Very strange but in fairness i think Carl would have won out. Started really well and kept up pressure. Seems I might be off to Vegas if this continues.

Impossible to say so early.

How were the afters MR? I went to a fight in the Kings Hall a few years back and it was complete madness inside and outside afterwards! Lads fighting all over the shop!

The atmosphere looked amazing - great to see in Belfast!

[Milltown Row2]

Its always simmering but last night nothing kicked off and it was a great atmosphere.

Yes O'Neil impossible to say. He could have lost. Or he could have won. He'd be fit to give him a rematch but can't see it happening. The lads done well and hopefully this leads to a shot at a title soon.
