Looks like some craic in the Odyssey! Frampton seems like a good fella as well as a quality boxer. Looking forward to this

Yer man has rarely fought away from Mexico and Japan. Wonder how the pastie baps went down.

J OGorman · April 04, 2014, 10:14:38 PM

Jeez...what a balls up by the Mexican.

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

ONeill · April 04, 2014, 10:16:14 PM

His head was spinning and cocked it up.

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

He winked at the ref to show he was fine to carryon. He just cocked it up...disastrous mistake

He skipped 9 in the count! Straight from 8 to 10 - watch his fingers

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

J OGorman · April 04, 2014, 10:22:50 PM

8 then 10 is right...madness

ONeill · April 04, 2014, 10:22:57 PM

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

ONeill · April 04, 2014, 10:30:08 PM

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 · April 04, 2014, 10:34:58 PM

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 · April 04, 2014, 10:39:27 PM

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