Frank Warren doesn't sound keen on Warrington going to Windsor Park. Frampton needs a title on the line for that Windsor fight or it'll be a flop.

Now that is a shock... seems like a split was a farcical decision

Where will Frampton fit into this? or will there be a rematch

Warrington will likely be more marketable than Selby so it actually might get on reasonably quickly

Warren will want to milk that Leeds crowd a bit longer with a few defences rather than risk a loss v Frampton. Though after watching that Warrington will be a tough nights work. He was very good tonight.

Just saw a retweet of mason cartwright's? face after his fight. His lip is like something you would see in a horror movie- horrendous!

Warrington will take a huge crowd with him to Belfast if the Frampton fight gets made. They are a rowdy bunch too...would be an interesting night at Windsor Park.
That was never a square ball!!

Would be a great scrap between them but going on their last two performances and quality of opposition Warrington would beat him

Donaire a bit over the hill but he's, by a considerable distance, the best fighter any of them have ever fought, so not sure "quality of opposition" comes into it.

A bit over the hill is a huge compliment to Donaire

Donaire may be the biggest 'name' either has fought but at this weight and this stage of their career Frampton's win over Santa Cruz is easily the most impressive victory either has had.

So is the summer fight going to be another dud then?  Likely to be no World Championship on the line.

It would need to be a big name, and seeing as these two went toe to toe in their last fight neither Warrington or Selby would be fighting fit enough in 12 weeks, wouldn't be fair on them also... Think Carl was looking a one or 2 round knock out at that fight, it never happened! I'd say Selby would be looking a rematch and that would be big money again for the promoters.

Can't really see anything else, though I'm sure the more knowledgable posters would have other ideas, just at the minute I think he'll struggle

Scott Quigg rematch? (or is that weight now out of the question for him)

Cant see Valdez coming to Windsor either.

Selby moving up in weight I believe so not chasing a rematch.

Warrington unlikely to take the fight. GRJ fought at the weekend too, thats his annual fight over plus hurt his hand. Santa Cruz fighting soon and Valdez injured. Doesnt leave many big names. The more i think about, with regards not just to GRJ but to some of their other champions, the WBC has turned into a joke organisation.
