CARL FRAMPTON called his performance mediocre - but the fight was far from it. His return clash after 10 months out was a bloody battle that only added to the Belfast fighter's thirst to get back into world title contention. Some would argue that being taken the distance in the 10 rounder by hardened Mexican Horacio Garcia was a sign that Frampton may be slipping but for him it was a night for adjustment after a summer of change.

People who are hyping Horacio Garcia, Carl Frampton was well off form that night. If they had a rematch in three months, Frampton would probably win every round and make it look easy. I think inactivity and underestimating his opponent made this contest a lot closer than it should have been.
The good thing is, he admits and knows it himself. Many fighters are plain delusional about their performances, either not being able to take critique or seeing any flaws in their performances. Its good to see that Frampton can admit it wasnt what they expected. But still, an entertaining fight
Yes please. Would be amazing, although the one match I want most of those is Russell vs Frampton. But any one of those would be fine!I'm leaning more towards Valdez only because he seems to want the fight more than Frampton!
Why is Russel Jr. so inactive? His prime is passing him by - ridiculous state of affairs.I have no idea, but I notice that LSC, Mares, Selby, and Frampton, rarely even utter his name! The only guy that calls him out is Oscar Valdez!
No shame Carl, Horacio would of whooped : Scott Quigg, Lee Selby, and maybe bum ass Oscar Valdez ; Garcia would give Santa Cruz and Mares a War, but you should be grateful it was not a twelve rounder.
Lol, Oscar Valdez's last 2 opponents wouldve easily beaten Frampton.
There's something seriously wrong with British referees. A 10-8 round for what everyone from the tenth row could see was a slip. And in the previous fight giving two warnings to the Irish fighter before taking a point and then taking a point off the Korean without a warning. Even Jim Watt was embarrassed and had to comment about fighting locally.

I want to see Gary Russell Jr. vs. Valdez or Frampton. No preference, just either one, and soon!

Garcia is a beast. Limited technical ability but tremendous fitness, heart and toughness and he has good feet as well.
He was helped out as Frampton gassed a bit. Hope that is due to inactivity and not weight issues
