[Milltown Row2]

Cracking fight, excellent stoppage, but Frampton still managed to ship a lot of punches from a limited, albeit very game, opponent.

Doesn't matter what McGuigan says, Rigo is the divisional king and I think Carl has a bit to go yet before stepping in ring with that kind of quality.

Did you see Rigondeaux's last fight? Did he really look that impressive whilst getting tumbled twice?

You mean the one he travelled to Japan for, came back from the above and ended up winning?

And got put down twice? Showed enough weaknesses to suggest he is beatable. It doesn't matter what country he travelled to, he was still getting punched which is your crititicism of Frampton and in my view he is good but not the undisputable number one that seems to be the standard comment in this division.

Rigo beat "the man" in the division. Comprehensively. I like Frampton a lot but I don't think he's come anywhere close to being in the ring with an operator like Rigo or Donaire

I'd agree with that... Maybe 18 month's down the line in Vegas that might happen.. But Carl should be sensible enough not to kill the cash cow too early..

Donaire obviously fallen a lot since the Rigo fight but attempt there was to illustrate the difference in class right now.

Looks like Milltown Row 2 was on the juice last night with his incoherent ranting

You're still a WUM with nothing of note to talk about. Troll springs to mind

Sure that's the easy way out.... We could post that all day in these threads, I've done it myself many times. I thought you'd a bit of intelligence

Like shooting fish in a barrel. You always falls for the cheerleader jibe whether it be Frampton or McIlroy.

Anyonr see eubank jr fight.  He is getting better everytime  i.see him.  Could be a real contender in middleweight in the next few years.  His dad is still seeking his limelight though

Seen him fight on the undercard of Framptons fight in Belfast last year, good enough boxer.. But Chris will always want the Limelight that's who he is.

[bridgegael]

He was very impressive last night.

Eubank Jr. looked Excellent last night and the ref should have stopped the fight much sooner, the corner seems like a shambles between rounds though.

[gallsman]

He's talented but needs to ditch the da. Sr's interference cost him the Saunders fight.

Saw him on the BoxNation equivalent of Ringside a few weeks ago and he was a bit delusional. Either ignoring or not quite grasping how big a setback the loss was.

[TF15]

The loss wasn't that big a set-back Galls. Warren wants to make Saunders Eubank II for the world title if Saunders can win the strap off the winner of Quillan and Lee. Actually came away from that fight with people knowing he can more than mix it with a very good operator in Saunders. He had balls taking that fight last night after losing his 0. The fella (although he turned out to be limited) was very highly rated and a dangerous live opponent who was eyeing the world stage.  I wish more fighters lost their 0 when they were young. Losing 1 fight is no bad thing and it would stop fighters cherry picking to protect their 0.

On Eubank Snr.....the less said the better lol But he is raising Jnrs profile even if he's taking that enlarged limelight away from him.

[behind the wire]

Frampton has given the sport of boxing a massive boost locally. there seems to be a few more boxers that could potentially follow his lead. How good are Burnett, Cacace, McCullough etc?
