Doesn't make sense,the Haye show gets a stacked undercard yet Froch Kessler which is ppv has nothing of the sort. Hearn needs to pull his fingers out of his arse. At least when Wazza was doing ppv on Sky hed give a decent undercard and try give value for money,Hearn is trying to pull a fast one.
Heard from a mate of mine in LA that frampton will be facing this lad (avalos was telling him that hes been offered the fight) http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=441661&cat=boxer
Interesting. I've seen Avalos fight a few times on Shobox and whilst you couldn't say he's anything special, he's a solid fighter who's good to watch. He'd be another good test for Frampton along the road to World level. I'd be pleased if they made that fight.
Frampton was in Vegas for the Mayweather bill. Got the same sunday flight back as him and Ashley Theophane ( and Kug & Lillis for that matter)
There was quite a bit of hype for Avalos before Chris Martin outboxed him a couple of years ago. Still a solid, exciting fighter, so I'd be happy if this is Frampton's next bout. Good matchmaking.
Chris Avalos is a solid fighter, seen a lot of him on showbox. He's an aggressive in your face action fighter but can be outboxed, good bout if it comes off.
Avalos is fighting Drain Fransico in Las Vegas in June so it's not going to be him, they really are taking there time on finding him another fight he was supposed to be on Haye undercard and now that's not happening so I'd be suprised if he's not on the Luke Campbell card in Hull in July..... I've a feeling he'll be fighting some bum who he'll beat easily, they need to put him in with some like Marquez, Cazares, Ramos, Shimoda etc... to get some world level experience before he fights Romero or Terrazas.
Also I'm from Belfast and word on the street is Mcguigan and Hearn had a bit of a falling out of Frampton's next move, McGuigan told Hearn that if Frampton's next fight wasn't going to be in Belfast then he wanted Carl to go out to America and have a fight on HBO or Showtime and get experience/noticed over there, Hearn wants him out on a 10 rounder on Haye or Campbell undercard then fight Romero in Belfast in Sept, only problem with that is Mathebula is now the mandatory so when Romero comes back from injury he has to fight him first also Terrazas is going to fight Santa Cruz around the same time so it looks like Frampton won't be fighting for a world title until 2014.
