His trainer waited until the 8th to tell him he was behind 6-1 and then after the fight said he had it 2-all after 4.
The first four rounds were a toss up but Frampton probably won them on effective aggression alone by trying to fight. Was there even 20 punches thrown over the first 4? More like 10 and Carl threw 8 of them.
I suppose the case could be made that it was an 8 or 7 round fight if you called the first 4 or 5 a draw.
Their strategy over the first 6 rounds was not fit for a unification fight of this magnitude. I was expecting a foty candidate. Terrible game plan.
