first class Benny..must hoke out the 'do not disturb' sign

Watched the daily motion link yesterday, unbelievable quality.

Frampton is a class act.  Shane McGuigan is some man too. To hear him in the corner when we got a chance was great - solid advice to get Carl's head back in the fight in the later rounds. Superior defense, some beautiful punches landed - best I've seen of him.  I'll admit I was very worried going to the scorecards.  Normally a fight as close as that would go to the Champ.  We all had a great view on tV but the judges at ringside could have (and did) see a very different fight.  Delighted for Carl and Belfast Boxers!

so far so good - they are touting the fight as a fight of the year candidate and applauding Frampton's skill.  Certainly no complaints about the result (aside form the scoring maybe) but he'll be invited back without a doubt and can command more money and big fights. He definitely cracked the market there is no doubt about that.  To move up a weight, stand toe to toe with an undefeated Mexican champion and take the belt from him like that - the American boxing fans (rightly so) lapped it up.

It's great achievement.. to beat a 3 weight champions who's undefeated, well enough said

Well done Carl, and thankfully my prediction was wrong.

May I be the first to say that loyalist belfast has taken over the Frampton show. Wonder if his wife's folks from the New Lodge have taken to wearing the NI soccer top?

[Syferus]

Predictable insulting myopic nonsense from you there Orior there. The self control to not snipe in the north no matter the achievement or positivity simply doesn't exist. You are a child, nothing more.

Congratulations to Frampton, a class act in and out of the ring. On course to be the GoAT Irish boxer now. He might already be there.

Twat. There was tricolours, GAA tops and Norn iron jerseys in that bar yesterday. The wee man has done more to bring people together than any of those tubes on the hill.
