Frampton VS Avalos ITV

Sideshow Mark

Framptons cheap shot in Round 2 turned it for him, more suited to wwe than ibf. I wanted him to win, but I wish he'd done it fairly.

McGuigan seems to think he won the fight himself.

Nothing cheap about it, protect yourself at all times.

Thought he was ok, but you could see in replay just after that last shot he took a massive wobble. Good stoppage!

Some finish by Frampton. I thought the Stop was a bit early, but on seeing the slow-mo of the finish, Avalos was practically unconcious on his feet.

Nothing cheap about it. If you knew anything about boxing, the first rule is protect yourself at all times

Avalos threw a couple of sly ones earlier on!

sbw is not what it used to be, Avalos is pretty soft

Sit down the **** McGuigan.

awec

Avalos wasn't defending himself any more, all concentration on staying on his feet.

Bit harsh there lad although I agree it was very important. Almost thought we'd have a Floyd-ortiz deja vu. The ref was at fault imo. Carl was well within his right to keep boxing.

It would have been a hard knockout if it wasnt stopped.

The only annoying thing about the Frampton thing is McGuigan, a bit like Eubank with Jnr

I thought Avalos should have got a standing count tbh, would have been fair.

You can just decide to take a break in the middle of world championship fight. You wouldn't do that as a novice amateur.

He p*sses all over Quigg if you ask me! Though, the Rigondeaux comment was a bold one!

He was being stopped sooner rather than later. I'd have no problem with the stoppage and I don't think Avalos o his corner protested it.

Anyway I'm delighted as I managed to spin up my PP account cash with a Fury-Frampton stoppage Double

Although the Quigg fight would make sense, he only holds the second tier WBA belt. Should be going after LSC and then Rigo. It'd be a good stay busy fight though.

There was no standing count rule in effect.

In most juristictions there isn't.

Ridiculous statement.

Anybody who know anything about boxing (and I do mean ANYTHING), knows the first rule in boxing is 'protect yourself at all times'.

Avalos just decided to stop boxing, what was Frampton supposed to do? The referee never said 'stop' and that's the only instruction he has to obey.

I stand corrected.

What did he say about Rigo ?
Quigg fight as a stepping stone to LSC ?

Wasn't that impressed by Frampton tonight, moreso I was unimpressed by avalos. Really strange fight, but definitely the right decision at the end especially after viewing the replays. Avalos was gone and another punch could have done damage.

The thing I'm most annoyed about is Barry mcguigan. Running and jumping about like an uncle at a wedding. Very embarrassing.

Talib Fiasco

I think Carl should even try fighting Nonito Donaire before going near Rigo. Donaire is just after dropping down to Super Bantam again and a title fight would be very attractive to him and he is in decline and would be a great win for Carl and he'd learn lots from it.

That guy was nothing more than a club fighter and he knocked down Rigo twice if I remember. I would take that performance with a grain of salt. It gave me hope that Rigo could be beaten. Sure Rigo beat him to a pulp but it shows he can be knocked down. That would be vital for Carl.

NotCominBack

check the "knockdowns" - I wouldnt say he was ever in any danger at all
