Frampton, i think the doubts are over he's better than quigg. i truly world class performance. cruz was great frampton gave a masterclass
I gave frampton 3 rounds at most I gave a couple even and the rest Santa Cruz fair play to Carl but I have no idea how he got his hand raised
I think a draw is fair but the whole back end of the fight I gave to Cruz so couldn't possible have given to frampton. Didn't think he did enough to take the belt from the champ, same old tired George grove esq pot shotting, and negativity as he gradually tired. However it's good for British boxing. Hope the selby fight gets made
I picked LSC to win on points, thought Frampton hurt him in the 2nd and made Cruz think more, I didn't think Frampton would have been able to hurt Cruz as I think his power is overrated at world level. Spot on with the Groves comparison and it is alarming how quickly he's tired in both the Quigg fight and last night considering that for the first 6 rounds of both fights he wasn't put under intense pressure. I thought LSC did alot of good work that we t unnoticed.
You're right though Sharpy it's great for British boxing, just irritating knowing ill have to listen to that little attention seeker the wee fella.
I think the fact that mcguigan was sat head in hands said a lot. You would think after the quigg fight they would have worked on stamina issues which I thought may have been weight related but obviously not. Saying that if he can keep nicking decisions then maybe they are happy with it, they won't come against any fitter than quigg or Santa Cruz
It's great the spin off from Irish success spills over into our neighbouring island. It's good to share...
With that performance Carl has left Quigg and Rigo well and truly behind. Quigg is earing his dust after that! Can't wait to hear what not-so-hot Scott and his "trainer of the year" - tactical genius Dopey Joe have to say now....
Firstly, Carl is British, no political/religion bull****, he's from northern ireland which like it or not is part of the UK. Secondly i dont know how you can only give carl 3 rounds. Finally big respect to carl for going abroad to fight the best, and putting in a top performance, hopefully he fights rigo in belfast next.
Rigo left behind? As much of a fan boy that you are Frampton and the wee fella never has any intention of fighting him. Frampton as has everyone at 122 ducked Rigo.
It was close fight but I had Frampton winning by 2, as always when you get a close fight you get certain people calling it a robbery which it certainly was not, most people agree that Frampton won the fight & 2 of 3 judges has Frampton by clear decision so that tells you all you need to know.
