Good round for Frampton, lands a lovely uppercut and a few right hands, but Gonzalez has cojones as big as his old mans, he still lands a sharp right at the end of the round

Frampton's defence has been awful, when his wheels haven't got him out the way, Gonzalez has nailed him with his chin up in the air.

Was hurt again that last round imo.

A knockdown by either fighter could win it, hard to score really, Gonzalez impressed me last round, came out and took the fight to Frampton. Shook him up again, and still looks sharp , really sucked it up as i thought he was tiring

Anybody watching the Channel 5 boxing next week?

Thoughts on ref, i have liked him so far, complaints about the low blows , but he's took a point away from Gonzalez and gave warnings to both

I don't like Frampton's habit of appealing to the referee when he feels he's been hit low.

It's not something I like to see either but the low blows are blatant and the ref hasn't been quick to notice. Apart from that the ref has been very good though.

Great fight. The question now is will ITV stay for the announcement of the decision.

True, though I noticed he did it in his last fight too.

Bloody hell, talk about under underestimating ...Barry nearly dropped a bollock with picking this guy, huge puncher & iron chin, Gonzalez is a real dangerman and nearly ambushed Carl there.

Frampton is fun to watch but the American announcers on CBS have to be the worst, most-Ill-informed cheerleading team ever. One of the idiots wanted Gonzalez's corner to pull him out of the fight in the sixth round so he wouldn't take any more punishment no wonder we have so many crappy decisions in the U.S.

Look forward to Frampton-Quigg if they make it

well done Carl, but Gonzalez impressed me as well. Not the performance by Frampton , i think he may of underestimated Gonzalez (we all did)

Was it me, or did Frampton say he was moving up to featherweight in that post-fight interview?

He mentioned it as a possibility.

They won't.

Seems pretty clear they will go to feather, good way to duck Quigg and keep the gravy train going.

Duke and Haye worked well in the studio there.

I was wondering where the excuses were going to come from. The ring canvas - that's a new one.

More a case of Frampton being considerably overrated beforehand.
Next Ricky Hatton? Yeah, ok.

Good fighter no doubt but way overrated by a fair few, no more so than his handlers, but that's to be expected I guess.

and the weight, i don't go for the ring canvas. if that is a true factor, then look at the team around you as thats what a boxer pays money for them to get everything in the champs liking.

Not a new one unfortunately mate. Calzaghe mentioned it after Hopkins.

I think you might be talking about the 9th there bruv?

I definitely thought he was at-the-very-least-buzzed in that round. Right hand.

I didn't know/remember that.
