I know you are hyped up since Carl just won via KO, but Rigo schools him real bad, only chance for Carl is if its in UK so he can hope to get British stoppage if he knocks down Rigo, but to beat him no way.
:deal If anything i would go further: Substitute "Rigo" for "Leo" and the same question applies......
i'd give the edge to Frampton. after that one punch KO, Carl is proving his power at the top level. Leo will make it tough, but he'll be walking into Carl's strengths as he fights on the back foot really well. you saw what happened to the tough guy Martinez who had never been stopped? i think Carl stops Leo late as well. Leo is a good puncher, but nothing more. and the bad thing for Leo is that not only does Frampton hit hard with either hand, but he also has a solid chin. throw in the fact that Frampton is more proven at the weight (Leo keeps on fighting broken dead beats) and is by far the best and freshest fighter Leo will have ever been in the ring with. Frampton has got this. i really hope this happens in NI because they have a great atmosphere to go with the occasion.
also, not forgetting the huge LOL's at the Americans who have once again found it very, very difficult to count to ten. shame on you, you dunces.
thats 3 consecutive 1-punch ko's against top-level opposition. No other SBW - not even Rigo matches this. Its becoming increasingly clear than the only way to beat Frampton is to ko him, because with his power, if you cant stop him, he will most certainly stop you at some point over 12 rounds. At some point even if he is way behind a hypothetical "master boxer", say Rigo, ...way behind on points - Carls skill will enable him to touch that chin - with terminal results for the body the chin is attached to. He has now ko'd 3 consecutive opponents - each of whom is AT LEAST as physically tough as Rigo - with one punch. When the INEVITABLE collision between Carls fist and Rigos chin takes place - as it invariably will at some point over 12 rounds...
Are all the "business" fans on here going to shout from the rooftops for Santa Cruz to travel to Belfast where this is a bigger fight?:think
He fought a much bigger puncher in Martinez and took his shots. Leo is tailor made for Frampton, Carl will use those short counters to exploit Leo's wide flurrys. I like Leo I just think Frampton has his number.
It really wasn't. What was the referee meant to do, wait for him to get up? The 10 count couldn't have been clearer
Congratulations to Carl for a good win. I don't think there should be any argument about the count either. Cazares looked like he was too dazed to follow it. Len, I'm surprised that you're saying that Cazares was top level opposition. I've seen many posts from you dismissing LSC's resume at super bantam because, according to you, When I pointed out to you that Leo had defended his super bantam title three times, and that two of his defenses were against top-ten super bantams (rated no. 3 and no. 8 ), that all three defenses were against guys between the ages of 27-32, and they had all been at super bantam longer than Leo (Terrazas in fact fought at feather for years), you said Now, Cazares is a 36 year old who moved up to super bantam at the age of 34. He is not ranked in the top 10. I give Carl full credit for the win. And I would say Cazares is one of Carl's two best opponents. But why are you giving Carl so much credit for this win, and speaking as if Carl were the second coming of Wilfredo Gomez, when Cazares is clearly, in your words (not mine), one of those ?
