Unfinished Buisness- Sky Fight Night thread- Frampton v Martinez etc

[Dia bando]

Martinez made him work hard for that win, Frampton needs more fight's that was his 16th it was
a good win he got hit to much for my liking, you can't hope to beat Donaire if you can't slip punches.
I like Carl Frampton but don't move to fast to face, some excellent Super Bantam Champions,
Carl is a good fighter, but I would not over match him at this point in his career.

I agree. He definitely needs to tighten up his defence and I fully expect that he will.

The great thing about Frampton is his versatility. He always fights the right fight to beat the guy in front of him. Against Molitor he just jumped on him, applied constant pressure and overwhelmed him. Tonight he took his time, boxed on the back foot and picked his punches.

He's a lot smarter than people give him credit for in my opinion, but as you say, they shouldn't rush him.

This fight would have taught Carl an awful lot. They can now review the tape and evaluate keeping in mind that Martinez was a swarmer looking for the one game changing shot. That ring had to be a twenty four footer. Lucky for him in hindsight that it was not 18 or 20. He deserves big props for that finish as KIKO has never been stopped. In addition that was a huge step up in class compared to what most 15 and 0 fighters take these days.
