Comments Thread For: Warrington Regrets Trading Punches With Lara, Vows To Bounce Back

I still believe Frampton is the better fighter

I know he lost, But I think he massively underestimated Warrington and when that happens it’s very hard to adjust your mindset once you’re in the ring. Not to mention he was in the middle of court cases when he was training for the fight and stuff like that

I mean nothing is a good excuse, it’s poor from a fighter as good as Frampton to have that mentality and loss of focus

I always felt a more focused Frampton would beat him in a rematch now he knows a bit more what to expect.

Then again, styles make fights. Warrington is basically a face first, high volume pressure fighter. Not ideal when you’re in with a big puncher who will happily trade, as he found out on Saturday,

Yes, I myself think that Frampton is much better than Warrington, who was overrated to begin with. Frampton had a bad night when he fought him, as you correctly point out. I wrote "faded" in my post, but the jury is still out on Carl, at least until the Herring fight.

If anything, Warrington will be remembered as an overachiever.

Yeah, I think Frampton is a real world class talent. Even in recent years he had good wins over the likes of Donaire. People might say Donaire was faded and not at his best weight but I would arguably say that isn’t Frampton’s best weight either, and Donaire give Inoue a hell of a fight after that fight.

Not to take anything away from Warrington, I just think he caught Frampton at a good time and Frampton had probably overlooked him.

I actually had Kid Galahad beating Warrington anyway. But the fight was so bad that I didn’t even care who got the decision
