I like Frampton but those scores were ridiculous! He didn’t win 7-8 rounds especially with the knockdown he took from Garcia. This was some homecooking by the judges that allowed Frampton to escape win a suspect victory to say the least.
I agree. Frampton was lucky to get out of this with a win at all, let alone by those ridiculous scores. If it had been a twelve-round fight, I think Garcia looked likely to power through to a victory over the spent Irishman.
In Frampton’s defense, he dug deep for a tenth round that in my view edged the fight in his favor.
Garcia has a hella of a chin.
very good fight with two boxers that put the best of themselves over the ring. Frampton is technically better and an accurate puncher with an excellent displacements all over. Garcia, was pure action but was not enough for him to take the fight. The call for a knock down was wrong.
