    I'm predicting a 1 round blow out live on ITV :patsch

    Terrestrial tv relies on quality content - with X Factor they have a guaranteed 2 hours or so entertainment...Football 90 minutes..films..Corrie etc.

    Unless Carl plays with this guy for a bit this will be a complete shambles.

    This guy Haymon has got for Frampton is a total joke and will be an embarrassment to ITV.

    I'm sticking to sky to watch Crolla- will catch up with Frampton afterwards

    Nah, his record is OK. Not world level, and Frampton will certainly dispatch him inside 6, but it won't be a one rounder.

    It's a really poor opponent. I understand he wants to look good on his American debut but he could have at least picked someone inside the top 30 in the world.

    We will see on the night the guy's never been stopped but he does just by looking at his record appear a level below Frampton.

    Spot on.


    Strange that given the hype that wee Barry has spewed about Frampton, he decides to match him against a no hoper on his American debut ?

    By all means match him carefully to avoid a banana skin, but this is an embarrassing match up.

    Something tells me they aren't quite so 100% as they make out about Framptons talent, maybe thats why they rubbished the £1.5 mill ?

    Nobody can knock this fight and back Quigg after the diabolical 'defences' he has had!

    Doesn't seem like too much of a disgrace now. Frampton down twice in the 1st round.

    Think frampton has turned it around, got him 1 up but he needs to win convincingly to get the decision

    Really good fight, hopefully it helps keep itv interested in the sport

    Just wondering if Frampton is struggling with the heat or struggled with weight, been put down twice but the second one, looked as if he didn't know why he got put down. Have seen him taken shots before without flinching, although he had been getting a bit more reckless in his last two fights before this one.

    Good fight so far though.

    Exhibit one as to why people who spend most of their time behind keyboards shouldn't really mock any fighter who gets into a ring, you look like a right fanny now
