Carl Frampton: I’m a much better fighter than the first time I boxed Kiko Martinez | Boxing News - boxing news, results, rankings, schedules since 1909

[Master]

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?

[Master]

It is on 10.30pm which is 3 1/2 hours from now. It is on Box Nation.

What a shoddy fight this one is Eamonn O’Kane/Virgilijus Stapulionis

Dont think i have ever seen such a messy fight

[ruthless rocco]

Is the the last fight before the main event?

Gents: does anyone have a stream for me that they could PM?

[Rantcatrat]

Thanks, Gent.

[Vendettos]

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

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

Imagine if he lands it when he's fresh.

[ruthless rocco]

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.

[KickMuck]

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.

[superheavyrhun]

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.

[Vendettos]

Carl's fight!!

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

No intensity from kiko yet. Quiet opener.

Why am I quietly rooting for Kilo
