Carl Frampton vs Kiko Martinez RBR & discussion

[Tom Cruise]

I'm not British and this is probably the first time I've seen Frampton. And my scorecard looked nothing like Jim Watt's scorecard.

Ryan Maquiñana (from Ring) and Scott Christ (bad left hook) also had Frampton up.

I dont think anyones scorecard looked like Jim Watts tbf

And why don't you look at the scorecards on the multitude of other boxing forums out there, plenty of which formed the consensus that Frampton was winning. Just because the hivemind here thought something it doesn't guarantee its authenticity.

Because that is who they wanted to win and most are drunken Brits. People just can't be honest, they're always incredibly bias and will virtually always have their fighter ahead or claim ''it was a close fight''

Okay, Frampton was well ahead due to the marathons he was running inside the ring. Happy now?

You didn't have such issues with Rigo's Cordoba performance, and that was faaar more defensive.

Oh great, the "everyone who disagrees with me is ******' line of argument. That's brilliant mate, thanks for your contribution.

According to a poll 40% of boxing mags and journalists had Pacquaio ahead against Marquez in the third fight.

Elie Seckbach had Brandon Rios ahead against Richard Abril.

I brought them up not to say media is infalible. I brought them up because you claimed it was only the biased British who scored it for Frampton. Obviously mostly British people will be watching a British fights and thus you'll mostly see British posters having opinions of this fight. So I brought up two non-British media. Acting as if anyone who didn't see it exactly you like did are idiots is rather pathetic. Jesus Christ, grow up.

Awesome to see a young fighter be put in a position to answer tough questions and do so with flying colors.

Just finished watching the fight.

Surprised many here thought Frampton was losing. I had him ahead at the the time of the KO.

Frampton definitely showed a few flaws. Most notably backing up with his hands down, leaky defense at times.

Answered some questions too. Took some solid shots for Martinez and didn't blink, showed he has legit power.

At this stage of his career he looks good but has a lot to learn. Great learning fight for this stage of his career.

That is true..... Green k sent my friend

His rebuttal: Rigo was showing great footwork and angles

I thought Frampton was ahead by quite a few

Maybe I need to watch it again.

Honestly Dan Cov, you're way off with those comments. To suggest it wasn't close shows your inept ability to score a fight rather than anyone else's, I could see how someone would have either man ahead.

On another forum, in a thread full of Americans - they all had Frampton up in a close fight. I'm hardly Frampton's biggest fan either and I'd have probably had him up (didn't score), just because he looked negative being on the back foot doesn't mean he wasn't winning rounds.

Nothing personal but 6-2 to Kiko? Need to invest in learning how to score a fight or at least admit some bias.
