The Official British forum Martinez v Frampton RBR thread

[lefty]

Frampton based on this beats Quigg comfortably.

Knocks him out.

[freddydoesdallas]

119-109 Frampton, almost punch perfect performance from him.

Good performance but too many tough moments at the end for me to agree with that.

TBF he was fighting a good world champion!

[crusader]

Yes, but that doesn't mean he was close to perfect.

[Ian1973]

Good win by Frampton, don't know what you're smoking if you think he could beat Rigo though, but I'll have a go on it, please.

It's by no means impossible. Sometimes these champions get this untouchable reputation but Rigo has two arms and two legs just like Frampton. He isn't unbeatable and if anybody can do it Frampton can.

Define perfect at this level

[crusader]

Without flaw

[Crazyboy]

That's what I was trying to say, of course rigo is a machine but I genuinely think frampton is top top notch you never know!!!!!!

Would love to see it happen

Well done Carl frampton tonight

It may not be impossible, but it is massively unlikely. Good win for Frampton but let's not get carried away, Martinez lost to Munroe twice.

Ah fornicate it, it was a cracking performance and we should enjoy it!

Great for the country too

[lefty]

Hahahaha you tell em Carl.

It is of course possible. I didn't say it wasn't. I implied that the person envisaging it was probably high, based on the current state of affairs, because, though possible, it is highly improbable.

Riddle me this:

Has Rigo shown signs of slippage since outboxing the really fast devastating punching Donaire?

& also, Rigo would land a lot more punches with a lot more effect than a bloke who was beaten by Rendall Munroe.

Without flaw

I like this quote:

He's a hard puncher, I haven't seen my face yet, but it feels lumpy."

[Boxerbeetle]

Classy stuff from Barry there, some nice comments.

Best post-fight interview since Tony Thompson sparked Price 1st time round!

He does come across well. So many similarities to Hatton in the way that he will appeal to a mass audience.

i agree, they're making friends at the minute at all levels

I think Frampton might be a more intelligent boxer than Donaire though to be fair. Also can box on the front foot aswell as the backfoot. He shows a bit more diversity than Donaire IMO.

[Loftgroov]

Great fight. I liked that Kiko remained dangerous to the end, but Frampton too good.

[Datsue]

Aye, intelligent maybe but his head's too static to talk about facing the sport's best counter-puncher, imo. The moment he got tired from bouncing in circles around Rigo his head would be in the third row.

Let him shut out Quigg (without a year where they both fight bantamweights to build the fight, please), & Rigo age a couple years & show some slippage, then I'll start entertaining the idea.

Yeah, I couldnt argue against Rigo winning if I was betting on the possibility. Ps do you think Frampton would shut Quigg out or stop him?

[Baboon]

Great stuff. More than made up for a cack undercard. Very intelligent fight from Frampton. Constantly in control, gauging distance beautifully. Classy interviews afterwards too. Good on 'im

Ha, no I don't! I was just saying that if he did shut-out Quigg, then I'd be on the path to reconsidering my opinion on a Rigo-Frampton fight.

I think he'd beat Quigg, but I seriously doubt it'd be a rout.

[Loftgroov]

There is little point going on about Rigo. they won't have Frampton go anywhere near him, for obvious reasons. he'd get beat, same as anyone. And that's no slight on Frampton.

A mandatory and then Santa Cruz is my guess.

Loftgroov - he was a DJ.

Yup agree but I tell you what about Santa Cruz: good fighter but a fvcking cardboard record. His defences are cack on a stick, the next one's even worse than his last couple.

Haymon recently made, er, I mean Peter Quillin decided to give up his paper title rather than get a million for fighting Matt "Not The Scary Eurasian Middleweight, The Boring One" Korobov, & LSC's career path since moving to bantam has been eerily reminiscent of Quillin's "reign" at middle...
