Highlights
—Gonzalez proved he came to fight early, sending Frampton to the canvas twice in the first round of the Irishman’s U.S. debut. The first was a lighter shot that could have possibly gone as a slip, but there was no doubt about the second one, a crushing right that landed on the button.
—Gonzalez didn’t back down from there, but Frampton never stopped putting pressure on. Frampton started breaking Gonzalez down in the fourth, sending him staggering to the ropes with a stiff jab.
—Gonzalez never went down, but he also never showed the volume and pressure he had in the first three rounds. Frampton’s sustained attack took its toll and he earned his first win on U.S. soil by unanimous decision.
Alejandro Gonzalez Jr. scored two knockdowns in the first round, but Carl Frampton took over after that and won a unanimous decision.
