Fair play to the lad. His move to the Ingle gym seems to have reinvigorated his career.  Looks to be seriously motivated. Unlikely he will get the GGG fight he wants just yet though. Jacobs next would be a nice fight.

Yeah he doesn't really want the GGG fight though, does he?

Warren says Donaire is a 'done deal' for Carl's next fight then.

Should be an excellent fight.

Frampton opening up as a huge favourite on this one, just seen 1/6.

Would you think he's as nailed on for the win as that?

Donaire is past his best but his best was so good he has a long fall to reach even being an ordinary fighter. At home Frampton should work him but it could easily end up a fight of the year candidate.

Thats a crazy price, 1/2 would be a better price, based on last fight and how this guy is a better  fighter (in my opinion) than the last opponent.. While not as explosive as he used to be he has a dangerous left hook!! be a good fight

I wouldn't be surprised if Donaire beat him!

Frampton has went backward.  Should have went for a highly-rated trainer at least, promoter aside.

I think thats the only way you go when you reach the summit, 5 fights to achieve something and generate a nest egg then retire..

The fight fans will come out and should he get a Windsor park fight that would cover him comfortably, he'll be 31 very soon, so not to many years left to make another impact

No reason why he shouldn't be able to stay at the summit but for some reason (most likely financially motivated) he has went for a trainer with basically no experience and a promoter who is not top drawer either.  He isn't that old, hasn't had a load of fights and should be aiming for the big fights but recently the calibre of opponent has been a let down.

Amir Khan has signed a three fight deal with Hearn and his next fight is the same night as Framptons . Interesting move from Eddie!

There's no let down in getting a fighter like Donaire in Belfast. Probably the best fight on paper that has ever been staged in Ireland.
