Night Of The Jackal: Frampton Repeats Over Martinez
Carl Frampton realized his dream of winning a major title, dropping Kiko Martinez in round five en route to a unanimous decision win Saturday evening in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Scores were 119-108 (twice) and 118-11 in favor of Frampton, who picks up the IBF 122 lb. title with the win. A war was fully expected and eventually transpired, but both fighters were cautious in the opening round. Frampton spent most of the round measuring up Martinez, who scored with power shots towards the end of a relatively close round.
