Boxing should be good tonight, McCullough beat Casey tonight which I'm sure to Casey was a shock, knocked him out in the 10. Promising fighter. Carl will have a tight enough fight to but should put in down in the middle rounds.

Jamie fight on soon, this guy he's fighting has a decent record so it should be close. lol, Jamie knocked him out in the first lol

[bridgegael]

any links for the fight??

[Milltown Row2]

Cracking fight and fair play to Carl, hopefully a title fight now on the back of that performance

[Tony Baloney]

Take it he won? Good man The Jackel.

6th round stoppage I believe.

Hmm, "cracking fight" may be a bit subjective then.

Why? the French lad was boxing well, was very tough and took some decent punches and had a great counter jab, Carl fought a cracking fight and the body punch that put the French fighter down was a smashing punch. Did you watch it?  Be difficult for you to judge my post on it I'd say.

That's like saying Mayo v Donegal was a cracking game of football. Frampton gave him a hiding.

Yes he did, and it was a cracking fight for Carl, the french fighter fought well considering the barrage of punches coming in, but sure it's all about opinions. Been plenty of fights were one fighter will dominate and its still called a cracking fight or great fight. 

This hopefully will lead on to another fight with Kiko or even a fight with Quigg. The other champions are a step too far for Frampton, so it's a wait and see situation.

I doubt many Parodi fans would describe it as a great fight. But like you say, it's all about opinions. Hope Frampton kicks on from here. Could never have too many big fight nights in Belfast.

As part of their Legendary Nights series, HBO aired "The Tale of Gatti Ward" last night after the Alvarado fight.

Beautifully crafted documentary, up there with the best boxing docs you will see:

P.S Well done the Jackal last night.  Bigger challenges lie ahead but there is no reason why he can't be a World Champion.  Go fight Kiko Martinez again and win his belt, go to Spain if you have to. Any great fighter should have a travelling fan base and a trip to Spain would be a good testing ground ahead of any trans-atlantic trips that may take place in the next couple of years.  Let Quigg stay on his own separate trajectory for as long as possible.  If Frampton and Quigg both meet as world champions it will be that extra bit special and the difference in terms of money on offer to both fighters would be significant !

Just stay away from Rigondeaux !  The Belfast Jackal is not ready to face the Cuban "El Chacal" (Jackal),  not yet ...

I like Frampton and he seems to be improving all the time but he's nowhere close to Rigo's level and I'm not sure he ever will be. If he does win a world title, I don't know if McGuigan is the manager and promoter to turn him into a global attraction for the likes of Rigo or Donaire.

Maybe not but if he wins the other titles it could lead to that, as Atticus_Finch said win the other ones and have a go at the states, It killed Barry but having been there before he could be better prepared. Carl's very composed in his fights, when he fought Kiko it was the the only time I saw him flustered but he managed to win that fight

Hopefully. There's no way somebody with the ambitions Frampton apparently has should have been out of action for so long after the Martinez fight.
