In his last two fights ...the first real tests of his VERY sheltered career, Leo got hit a lot and badly marked up. With better - much better - defence than Kiko and better - much better - power than Mares, Carl cannot be written off here, by no means.
Can u really say this after what happened with rigo pulling out tonight ????? Avoiding a fighter to fight in the states against a bigger name what on earth was Frampton thinking :yep Think it will be a very tough fight for Frampton
But it still doesn't change the fact that Rigo is his mandatory and Frampton is ducking him. The wee man won't let Rigo derail Christmas at the McGuigan household this year.
WTF are you waffling on about ? Team Frampton ( and his fans ) openly criticised Santa Cruz for avoiding people, and padding his resume with nobodies and bums. Now here we are with experts like yourself and Len, proclaiming Leo the best across three divisions, and questioning Rigo's ability ? Rigo would make Frampton look like a clueless idiot. Theres a reason why his team want no part of Rigo, and thats because they don't want the money flow cut off. I do wish some folk would take their blinkers off and talk sense.
Its time now for TS and OB to admit they were wrong, accept defeat, put the bitterness behind them grow up a bit and move on. They are now at this stages just making fools of themselves. Accept Frampton exposed Quigg and furthermore Carl can say his team shone - in stark contrast to Team Quigg, who lets face it didnt cover themselves in glory to put it mildly. Grow up boys - move on. Onwards and upwards for Team Frampton - look and learn for team quigg.
I do find it interesting that Rigo gets given a complete pass for turning down Loma at 126 last year. I'm always super impressed by his skills but he's made some terrible decisions since entering the pro game. He's also been dropped heavily by people levels below him in the past.
I've already said Frampton won. But if you claim that fight was some sort of masterclass by Frampton you don't know what you're talking about which evidently you don't. What we are seeing now is a million and 1 excuses by the wee man why Frampton v Rigo shouldn't or won't happen, when in reality McGuigan knows Rigo will win and hardly break a sweat doing it. Also IF they go the LSC route they may come unstuck as he's looking good at the moment and Imo Frampton seems to have hit a level. But Frampton and the wee fella are ducking Rigo,are they not lenny boy?
Only casuals use the word " ducking". People who understand boxing never talk like that. Anyway you need to give up your childish Attacks on Team Frampton now. What about Team Quigg? Quigg didn't seem to realise he was in a pro boxing match. Pay per view. How could he think he was level after 4,5,6 without throwing a punch? How is it the Ring trainer of the year didn't see anything wrong with that? Stevie wonder could have done a better job than "dopey joe". Carl even out-fitness-ed the supposedly super--fit Quigg, who gassed in the final round when he most needed it. Carl didn't just win the fight, it was a crushing victory for the entire McGuigan team as a unit too. Brilliant boxing and training and management victory by the very excellent team Frampton. Embarrasing flop by team Quigg. So let's all celebrate for Carl and his team who showed how it should be done eh? Onwards and upwards. A global superfight with LSC.
So what you are saying when the number 1 in the division wants to fight the number 2 in the division, but the number 2 in the division won't dare speak his name it isn't a duck? Again Rigo wants to fight Frampton, Frampton wants to fight anyone but him.
