Yeah Kiko is a handy fighter, I think he just got caught in their last fight?

He sure did, it was a great fight from start to finish
Kiko maybe confident, but Frampton must be really confident.
I really like Kiko as a fighter,but i really really like Frampton,way too much class,same result againQuote:

Looking forward to this one. Carl gets through this then he can look forward to some big paydays against Quigg and LSC. Kiko is always dangerous though and should make this another cracker.
Q&A: Kiko Martinez - Ring TV
Cant wait for this weekend!
Thank god boxing is back it's a long 2 weeks, and what a cracking fight after the brake, I
was missing my boxing fix it got bad I nearly went on youtube and watched a old Johnny
Nelson fight.:vd:
Weird you said that because I did the same thing after reading a Micky Vann article saying that Nelsons first ever title shot was a cure for insomnia...so I decided to watch it for a couple of rounds and I woke up before ;DQuote:

I can see Kiko getting ironed out faster this time.
I think Im gonna back Frampton UD at 4/1. I wont go mad as already have a chunk on him to win a world title but I could see Martinez being more cagey this time. Starting slower and maybe trying to stop him late. If he does I dont think Frampton will hurt him early and mightnt have the power later on to stop him. Very interesting fight this.Quote:

Read Kiko interview on Boxing Weekly and he sounds very interesting. His favourite fighter is Tyson, his best fight is Morales v Barrera, hardest opponents are Frampton and Munroe, best victory is against Dunne.
Alright, Gents. I'm going to do some work until this fight starts. Sit back, have a brew and enjoy it. How many hours do I have?
It is on 10.30pm which is 3 1/2 hours from now. It is on Box Nation.
BBC Sport - Carl Frampton v Kiko Martinez: Northern Irishman vows to win belt
What a shoddy fight this one is Eamonn O’Kane/Virgilijus Stapulionis :boxing:
Dont think i have ever seen such a messy fight
Is the the last fight before the main event?
Gents: does anyone have a stream for me that they could PM?Quote:

The issue is he got caught by a clearly tiring Frampton and KO'd.Quote:

Anyone know...? Is this the last fight before the main event?
Really looking forward to this one, I reckon Frampton is going to have the goods to KO Martinez again, Kiko may have had the power to finish Bernard Dunne, and plenty of others along the way, but in these surroundings with such a huge crowd behind him, I reckon Frampton takes it by a KO 6-8.
I Just hope the judges are fair. Hope its not like Martin Murray/Sergio Martinez if it goes the distance. Being in Carl's back yard i could imagine decisions being bias. However i will judge the fight for myself. Good luck to both men.
I think there is always a danger when you are in with a guy like Kiko of him landing the big punches and the boxing stylist in Frampton goes out of the window.
Heck of a welcome for Carl, I doubt the champion gets the same ovation. Must be weird being a Spanish world boxing champ, as he tends to go where the money is rather than fight at home where there is very little boxing tradition.
Carl's fight!!
No intensity from kiko yet. Quiet opener.
Why am I quietly rooting for Kilo???
^^Much more intense 2nd though.
Not a lot between them so far.
ha round two definitely wasn't quiet i think itll warm up to be quite fun, round was close as well, dont think ima try and score thisQuote:

It seems like Frampton is winning the distance war. Martinez can't find his range. When he stays outside Frampton uses his speed to pick him off, but when he gets close, he hasn't figured out how to get off.
Are we watching the same fight? Martinez is hardly throwing.Quote:
