Tight opening round, looks like being a good test for Frampton as hoped.
We are a small country who internationally often punch above our weight. Sometimes we get a bit over excited. No one is underestimating Bute, but the level of competition domestically is higher in Britain than Canada. I think the studio guys while maybe coming over as disrespectful where referring more to the opening Canadian guy. Don't let it ruin the fights, maybe turn the sound down or something.
I know man and I dint mean any disrespect towards the country in general, and hell I'm quite big on some uk fighters groves, burns, khan....and produce quite a few good ones for its size, and nah nothing ruins fights for me other than shit decisions, or crazy shit like jumping out the ring ala cintron....Quote:

Frampton looking a little bit more nervous than usual but warming up to the task.
Very similar records I thought but I may be wrong.Quote:

Hirales is frustrated, maybe got a share of the fourth, but I haven't seen Frampton losing a round so far. Wish he'd start to trade for excitement though.
C'mon British ref's, give me one of your patented early stoppages. I need it in the Prediction Contest.
Goddamnit, I knew I should have put my Joker on Smebly or whatever the fuck his name is.
Come on Smebly....a perfect cross between Chablis and Smelly!Quote:

Got it in one armin. 120-108, 119-109, 119-109. Hard to argue with those either.
Frampton was good, although wasn't particularly as entertaining or crowd pleasing as you'd expect.
Fuck off David Haye, come on Carl Froch! :D
Do you think the BBBOC Will break friends with Carl Froch because he is still pals with Haye?
Framton wins a UD, this didn't need to be a 12 rounder.Quote:

Never seen frampton before, while it wasn't overly crowd pleasing he looked pretty dam good would like to see how he progresses.Quote:

I like both these guys, it's going to suck watching one lose.
Ill be sure to keep an eye on him and I don't mind defensive fighters its not like he was running or anything, fought a smart fight and did up the offense quite a bit towards the finish stretch.Quote:

Kess pickin froch...would be a rematch id like to see him and froch, but I wouldn't mind bute kess either
Great atmosphere out there. You don't see this at American fights.
It's well exciting.
What are they chanting?
Getting loud in there now...bute better be up for this and 100% focused, if froch wants to win this he better not leave gas in the tank as I feel like he has a tendency to do, I'm picking bute but who the hell knows
Just about any foreign fighter will get the 'who are ya' chant if they stick their head above the parapet. Frankly, there are some British fighters that deserve that kind of treatment. Make your own link here, but Audley Harrison actually scored a KO against Ali Adams in four tonight. World Champion by the end of 2012.
I still think Froch won the first fight.Quote:

What the fuck is this shit, Bon Jovi? Fucksake Froch...
Yup, and you don't see that kind of support either, Brits really get behind their fighters.Quote:

It might have made sense, but if it were 10 rounds or less, it wouldn't have been quite as boring.Quote:

Although the fans may be booing it, I must admit I prefer to hear the away fighter's anthem too. I hate Frank Warren's habit of just playing the British anthem. Anyway, fight time's here.
Here we go with the main event, it would have to be an upset if Carl wins, I just don't see it, Bute by UD.
Wtf buffer didn't travel for this?
