I'm not actually surprised I was shocked when I heard what he rehydrated to for his last fight he's stocky lad.
Not a good look for Frampton, I don't think he will be around for much longer. The way I see it, I don't think he beats any of the champs at Featherweight, let a lone Super Featherweight.
Either he's struggled with the weight big time, or what I think is more likely, he hasn't taken this too seriously. We'll see if he makes the weight at second attempt. I've had a feeling from day 1 that this was a potential banana skin though
Poor from Frampton and his team. One half of his head is already retired. Seriously needs to buck his ideas up and prove he is still as hungry as he was when he was on the up.
I know it's wrong to assume things etc, but in the last couple of weeks he's posted about being out for dinner with his kids and he put on a post about doughnuts - while probably joking it's not really a great routine to have a matter of day's out from a fight.
Yes, the sharp end of professional sports needs complete mental and physical dedication. Frampton (whilst a great guy and a class act) is worryingly exhibiting signs that he is losing something...its like he has to drag himself will all his will through a camp. Will be interesting to see how he performs. His last performance (after such a great win previously) was very disappointing; the team seemed only to prepare for a war and couldn't adjust or come up with anything - remember McGuigan in the corner!? Should have been lighting a fire under Carl!
As delboi94 said Frampton won't be around much longer, imo he'll be retired within 18 months. Poor form tbh but I honestly don't see him becoming a world champion again.
Amateur hour, and thats coming from a Frampton fan. As soon as he didnt make weight it nearly seemed inevitable that this fight wouldnt happen. What a crock of ****.
