    I'm thinking Frampton's class is going to tell, and will be the victor via UD.

    At least the poll isn’t bias in the naming thus encouraging it not to be accurate in the voting!!

    A couple years back, easy Frampton. Now, not so much.
    Still reckon Frampton but I’m looking forward to it. Great engine on Josh.

    Frampton to win. His "quality"... better timing accuracy power in the punch department plus his better footwork and control of distance in the legs department should overcome Josh's "quantity " in my opinion. A lot will depend on whether Josh can walk through Carl's punching ...Or can Carl hurt him. Could be a very painful night for Josh if he's getting nailed repeatedly by crisp shots from the Jackal.

    Yeh I’d say he’s slightly beyond his best. He’s not finished. Think he lacks desire too but I think he will be up for this one. Appears to be more in it for the money now but that’s just my opinion. Also think the Moore thing was a terrible move or maybe a better way of wording it would be to say he could have gone to someone that would have done a lot more for him. However all based on my opinion see how his next few fights go

    Most casual fans will be saying ‘that reminds me, I must order the Whyte v Chisora fight’.

    Why the lack of confidence in Moore as a trainer? From what im hearing Jamie is an excellent trainer. .boxers have confidence in him . Who else would have done more for him?

    Leo is pretty feather fisted himself tbh.

    I'm picking Warrington, I think he frustrates & out hustles Frampton. I think Warrington has a Calzaghe quality where his quickness high volume & akwardness can really frustrate opponents. Especially a smaller guy with a much shorter reach. Frampton will win rounds but will be on the losing end of too many exchanges to win.

    Didn't Warrington have a hard time with the much shorter Kiko Martinez?

    Frampton, going with the majority and thinking UD. I just don't think Warrington has the ability or power to trouble Carl too badly

    Jamie said himself, "I can't teach Carl anything" at the Leeds press conf.
    I'd be looking for another trainer if my coach was saying things like that.

    I’m really surprised by how little rated Warrington’s boxing skills are by people on here. He didn’t just outwork Selby, he outboxed him. He doesn’t mindlessly bum rush, taking a shot to land two of his own. He’s intelligent with the way he launches his attacks, behind the jabs using lateral movement, feints & angles. He does enjoy working on the inside but don’t underestimate his ability to get there. His perceived lack of power has been noted but he can definitely hurt an opponent and he can cause cuts too with his style.

    I’m an admirer of both fighters, and Frampton’s the real deal. We know all about his elite qualities. This fight is going to be fought at what I feel at this stage of his career, a uncomfortable pace for Frampton. I think he will have successes with his superb counter shots in first half of the fight but Warrington will take over for a decision win. Sorry Len.

    There has been a bit of a renaissance under Jamie Moore. I found it interesting how he has spoke about how he would like to finish his career, 3 more fights including this one. How he’s been in the game since he was a kid etc. As soon has I hear a fighter talking about the finishing line, I just think that maybe they’ve not got much left in the tank. Warrington on the other hand is on the upward curve. No way he’s thinking about retiring anytime soon.

    I'm out drinking in Leeds on 22nd, so sure I'll catch this fight in a bar.

    Frampton favourite of course, but I wouldn't be overly surprised if Warrington nicked it. If Warrington gets off to a good start, I would could see him winning a 115-113 type fight.

    Nonsense. What Jamie knew was that Carl was already a seasoned veteran who didn’t need to be taught how to box. Come on...
