Good luck to Carl.

I just hope that he stays retired.

He had a truly magnificent career and fought everybody of note in his weight class - one of the few old school warriors left in a sport where the very best now seldom fight one another.

So Price gets knocked out in 2 by Teper. His confidence is utterly gone, you can tell. It's hard to see where he goes now. I wouldn't want to see him become a knock over job for whatever flavour of the month is going around, but that's what he'll become I suspect.

I think that's it for Price. I can't see where he goes from here, his defense has never improved from the Commonwealth and Olympic games and his chin just isn't the best. He looks mentally shot to pieces.

Fair play to Teper though, he looks like a bum but that's Rogan, Sprott and Price all stopped early and brutally in his recent fights.

Hopefully tonight's matchroom card lives up to its potential, it should be a cracker if it does.

Fair play to teper but price could and should have kept him on the end of a jab and taken him past 6 rounds and then knocked him out.

Agree re tonight, I'm looking forward to it.

Awful from Price. Slow plodding footwork, pawing the jab leaving him exposed, no snap in the punches at all.

It's difficult to see a way back for him when his defensive uncertainty impacts on his offence. It's going to end in the same result time and again.

Poor Price looked almost Audley-esque last night, pawing jab, nervous and as soon as the first punch landed on him you sensed his confidence just evaporated into thin air.

In fairness, Teper doesn't look like a super athlete but he carries a bit of power and he was looking for a fight from he opening bell.

What I don't like was all the Fury fanboys on twitter calling Price all sorts, I can't wait until October until Wlad gives him a hiding just to shut them up.

Kassi should have got that decision. No surpise though.

Frampton having a nightmare fight. Still winning an all out quality punch up can be good for building a fan base. Just ask Carl Froch!

Not sure where they are getting the close score in this one - I have Frampton winning every round except for 1 & 9. Fair enough he was down twice in the first but the Mexican had a point deducted.

Ah just as I thought the boxing "experts" left with egg on their faces - a wide margin win for Frampton.

It was a tough fight - but take away those 2 flash knockdowns in the first round and they would have been saying it was a masterclass.

To be honest I think it was a masterclass (of grit) because of the knockdowns. Only the first was a flash knockdown. The second was a bang on the button. The way Frampton recovered, came back and built up a points lead was hugely impressive.

Also talk about trouble making the weight and an energy-draining canvas.... well, I'll leave that to the experts. Exciting fight and Quigg V Frampton will be a real draw if both stay at the weight.

There's going to be loads of low profile quality Latin American boxers in Frampton's preferred weight divisions. Him and Quigg are going to have to expect surprises..

Almost forgot: good luck to that other fighting Carl with great powers of recovery. Well done Mr Froch, a true warrior, ducked no-one and you've got nothing left to prove. Please stay retired.

Everyone crying foul in the Crolla fight but there were a lot of close rounds, I didn't score it but on the face of it a draw is fair enough.

Worrying that Frampton was talking about moving up to feather in his post fight interview. There are some monsters up there like Walters who outsize him massively. He should take the Quigg fight; it makes the most money for him and I think he'll win it pretty comfortable.

Barry McGuigan must have nearly had a heart attack last night. Frampton did well but he should be careful thinking about moving up in weight, there are some big featherweights knocking around at the moment. I still want to see the Quigg fight but I think that ship might have sailed the way they were talking last night.

Quigg did what I expected, looked poor in the first round but found his target in the 2nd.

Donaire is back down at Sp Bant and won last night, he'll be on Frampton or Quigg's radar soon.

Not going to complain over Crolla, it is what it is, looked a very hard fight to score on the telly, let alone ringside.

Abraham just keeps rolling on, really good KO of Stieglitz, check it out if you can find it. Had Stieglitz punching thin air.

Chavez is dog poo, I just want to see him get splattered now by either Stevenson or Kovalev, even though he doesn't deserve the payday.

Frampton fought a low ranked fighter in front of about 500 people and they were probably given free entry.

Quigg demolishes framptons best win in two rounds in front of thousands.

Only one winner last night and framptons reasons on refusing to fight Quigg just looks worse.

I like frampton, his a terrific fighter but the excuses to avoid the Quigg fight were ridiculous as were they last night. Soft canvas, please.

Amen to that.

Froch should have been around 60 years ago, when the best fought the best & weren't afraid to lose.

I hope he stays retired also, because he has absolutely nothing to prove.

He'd probably want to fight Ward again, but there'd be no point.

Ward beat him comprehensively in all facets of boxing & that's when he was a fair bit younger.

Good luck to The Cobra; he's earned it.

Dunno what to make of last night, Frampton looked disinterested by the whole thing, got dropped twice in the first through sheer carelessness then ground his way to a win over a bloke who looked like completely wild and ready to boot him in the stones at any time.

Then Quigg gets beaten up for a round before Martinez walks right onto a peach of an uppercut and is on dream street.

Worth it all to see McGuigan's face when Frampton went down twice, he looked like a man whose cash cow was walking off a cliff.....

Please tell me you mean you expected Quigg to stop him and not take him out that early? Anyway, saw the fight on 'tube and agree with the asessment. Martinez bossed the fight until the uppercut. And Quigg finished him off well. A really good promoter would get Frampton to stay at the weight and fight Quigg despite the former's worries about making weight.

I don't understand the whole Quigg was dominated in the 1st round comments.
A boxing fight consists of 12 rounds and a fighter losing the first round but then destroying his opponent in the 2nd makes the 1st round null and void.

It reminds of Kahn fans who claim Khan was winning the Garcia fight easily until he got caught by Garcia and eventually stopped so that stoppage wasn't really that impressive.

Any stoppage makes the scoring up to that point null and void but many fights have been won with one punch against the flow of the fight, it was an impressive stoppage but patently obvious that Martinez walked onto the punch that started his demise.

Froch v Taylor is classic example, Taylor was 4 rounds up on 2 of the judge's cards and coasting home when Froch ko'd him with 14 seconds to go.
