    Or is it just me?

    Frampton has been promising a top performance from himself that'll surprise people after his last outing, I hope he's right.

    What do you all think?

    Donaire in my opinion probably has the most impressive career of any still active fighter out there apart from Manny Pacquiao.

    On that basis alone you can't rule him out, that said, while he is still a top level fighter, he's not quite as elite as he once was... Problem is, it remains to be seen whether the same can be said for Frampton or not just yet, I know many already think he's finished after seeing his last fight.

    I'm not so quick to judge it that way, but I think this is the fight that will tell us all we need to know, I still believe he has some left in the tank at the highest level, and if that's true then I can see him getting a close decision. That being said, he will definitely need to be at his best to get it

    I'm sensing you're not the only one, I don't really get it?

    It's the same night as the Khan comeback farce, 21st April

    I’m looking forward to this. I wanna see what Donaire has left. He used to be really enjoyable to watch. He could be very athletic and explosive..

    I agree with a couple of guys above that this fight is less predictable than a lot of people think. Naturally at this stage Frampton’s the favourite, but I wouldn’t rule The Flash out of this one....

    Donaire is about done. He'll put up a effort but Frampton will win by decision.

    Donaire has a ton of experience at this point and in my opinion is going to be unlike anyone else Frampton has ever been in the ring with. Should give him some new looks.

    Frampton looked unusually placid and... I don't know. Maybe he under performed in his last bout. I wasn't particularly impressed though he made it through.

    You've got to wonder if Frampton is as fit and as able to skillfully avoid a fighter like Donaire over 12 rounds like the young and primed Jessie Magdaleno just did, at this point... That was an extremely sharp performance that Jessie had to be on his toes for the entire duration of. He hit Donaire with some tremendous punches, counter and otherwise, but Donaire still has that damn good chin.

    Frampton doesn't impress me at all. He an Oompa Loompa-sized Chris Algieri. I'm rocking with my boy Nonito by way of KO.

    This is kind of how I see it, and why I'm not as excited about this.

    Do you think Frampton has a chance against Valdez?

    Of course. Frampton > Quigg (as we already knew h2h, and he's far more versatile on top of possessing a lot of his strengths) and Valdez looked incredibly beatable against Quigg.

    To be honest, i don't think Valdez will be the same after his last 3 fights.

    Even as fighter of the year in 2016 he didn't impress you?
