(vblog) Boxing: Carl Frampton vs Kiko Rodriguez 2 9/6/2014

This Saturday, September 6th in Belfast, Northern Ireland, undefeated British Super Bantamweight Carl Frampton (18-0) makes his first attempt at a world title when he faces IBF Super Bantamweight titleholder Kiko Martinez.

Frampton is favored at (-430), with the comeback on Martinez at (+340). The bout is a re-match that Frampton won by stoppage in the 9th round, which leads to the wide line. But that bout was close when the one punch KO came, with some thinking Martinez was ahead and starting to pull away. Martinez has gone on to win the world title since, and he has defended it several times, never letting the fight go to the cards. Is Martinez the more improved fighter heading into the re-match?
