come on man this was clear as day, the first fight he had luck and that was it...when was the last time you seen an Irish man who knows how to box? They're good with their backyard junk but please leave the boxing for the African Americans and Mexicans. I'm European but those guys need to stay in Europe and create their own league or some sh**...in America and Mexico they'll get whooped.

Shane mcguigan kind of showed his inexperience as a trainer in that fight also, he should no his fighter, and should of fired frampton up

Poor corner work. I may have it wrong but at one point it looked like Frampton was stood waiting for about 5secs while they grabbed the stool, and at another point Shane had to shout twice to get a water bottle passed over. Little things like this can make or break a fight. I don't like Shane too much anyway so I may be biased

With the right guy in the corner, Frampton could've taken that fight. Shane wasn't up to it tonight

Trilogy needed.

Close fight. Leo looked much better than the first fight.

Can't wait for the third

In skill, close, but in points, not close at all. Leo won 10 of 12 rounds. I did not see a close fight at all, if you score by rounds, Leo won almost every one. Close, but still he won each round. I thought that the scores were not fair to Leo. Should have been wider. I think they want a third, so make it close.

I have no clue how they will agree on a venue for the next one.

i would be a supporter of shane, i think he is going (to one day) be a top class trainer.
But tonight he showed inexperience at this level.
their is no excuses from framptons end which is always a plus, but when put under pressure it was shane who lost his cool, its not even that he lost his cool but didnt know how to direct frampton and get him fired up,
it was almost like he was saying he was doing a great job during rounds he lost and to take it easy during the rounds he won............

after the fight,agreeing with frampton that leo won was all good in nature, but he should of been their to direct his fighter at the same time....
not hating on shane, but i think he lost his cool a bit under the pressure of such a big fight.

o and by the way, its no excuse big enough to warrent a win for frampton, beore some fcking donkey says stop trying to blame it on the trainer

3rd fight is needed.

I didn't get the MD. I thought Leo won the fight comfortably.

I agree totally.

wooooooohhhhhh.......
Hold your horses their man,
Irish boxing is only getting going,
wait till all the boxers who have recently only turn pro get going,
Ireland invested heavily amateur boxing, and they have all only turned pro recently, or recently enough in terms of boxing..

big things to come from Ireland yet,
i agree it been a long time since an irish man knew how to "BOX" so to speak,
but big things come in small packages.......... ( Ireland being the small package)
