Frampton clearly slipped during the incident, but referee Victor Loughlin started a 10 count confirming the knockdown. Garcia clipped the Northern Irishman on the way down but he was back to his feet by the time the referee reached 'four'.
As he explained to Irish-Boxing.com after the fight, Frampton made a rookie error with his footwear in the build-up to fight night.
“The ring was a bit wet and me, being silly, I should have been more experienced, I got new boots and I’ve worn them twice – I probably should have broke them in a wee bit more, still a bit slippy.” “In fairness to Victor Loughlin, as I slipped, something landed on the way down and he’s going to give a knockdown.”As the great Abraham Lincoln once said, 'be sure to put your feet in the right place and stand firm.' If you want to make sure you continue to stand firm in a new pair of shoes, do yourself a favour, and break them in first.
