Frampton is in serious danger of being massively overrated here on the basis of no evidence whatsoever. Sure, the win over a very shopworn and ancient Voronin was pretty good but the one over Robbie Turley wasn't....Robbie Turley? Galahad would have stood him on his head. And please, don't say "Styles make fights" because Turley hasn't got one, style that is.
Make the fight. Barry would be wise to try and get his guy some terrestrial TV time but Sky will moan. Be good if they could both show it. I think HBO and Showtime did that for Lewis Tyson. FA Cup Final etc do that. Trust in your product. Most Sky owners will watch on Sky due to a much better build up and production, just like with the football.
Why would I say anything about Robbie ****ing Turley. Frampton is overrated? What about Galahad?! Oh yeah, and just because I think Frampton would win..That means I'm overrating him?
Love the rant. You didn't mention Turley, I did. You expect Frampton to stop Galahad yet he couldn't get rid of Turley, and in parts looked awful. Galahad isn't overrated at all, he is never mentioned.
I've had two bottles of bulmers and feel pissed again after last night, apologies. Just because Frampton looked bad in one fight, doesn't mean he's a bad fighter, I think it was an off night for Carl, and I think he thought he could just walk through Robbie, when Frampton is relaxed, not too eager to get the stoppage and counter-punching off the front foot, just like he was in the Hughes fight, he looks a very accomplished fighter for a 13 fight novice. I don't think Galahad is the slick fighter people think he is, Booth was catching him and hurt him with telegraphed shots you could see coming from a mile off, I've actually been raving quite a bit about 'Kid' on here, he has a great engine, is awkward and has pretty much every punch in the book, power isn't everything but I think you have to be a very special fighter, to have virtually no power and have success at the top level. Both are very talented prospects, I would expect both to have success, but Galahad is too open to overhand rights and left hooks. Frampton late stoppage, who would you pick, pal?
Frampton would make Galahad pay for those little bad habits that he can currently get away with... Left hook stoppage before the 6th round.
Frampton has deffo got the power over Galahad and right now Frampton takes this, Galahad looks a bit chinny to me, one mistake and could be lights out.
If Galahad kept his distance and fought on the back foot he could possibly outpoint Frampton, this would be his best hope. Though I get the feeling Frampton would hunt him down and eventually take him out. 3 good Superbantam prospects who haven't fought anyone yet, Quigg will be first to take on a real contender in Munroe, will be interesting to see how he does.
i think frampton would beat him easy, although i see galahad getting more exposure and taking a different route.
galahad vs quigg would be a better fight for kid, easier fight for him and would be no tv politics. i seriously think frampton is the best in the division and would wipe the floor with all three of them tbh.
