Carl Frampton, the busy Belfast boy with an entire nation in his corner, announced his arrival in the most exciting weight division in boxing on Saturday, courtesy of a stunning one-punch ninth-round knockout of Kiko Martinez. In front of a vociferous home crowd in Northern Ireland's Odyssey Arena, Frampton inflicted the first loss in more than three years -- and the first stoppage of a 30-fight career -- to the Spaniard Martinez, relieving the long-standing champion of his European junior featherweight belt in the process.
