Carl Frampton rose from the canvas twice last night to defend his IBF super bantamweight title against a surprisingly game Alejandro González Jr. in El Paso’s Don Haskins Centre.

While he may have been given a tougher test than expected, the final punch stats confirm that ‘The Jackal’ did more than enough to win on the cards.

…

In an exciting, if far from perfect, performance, the Belfast man out-landed and out-threw his opponent in most departments, as well as being far more accurate – especially with power shots.
