Carl Frampton

yep, and?

 

well you've just made a point of how we're hyping fighters. I'm saying its not the case here.

 

read again, everyone is pretty much saying he is future this and future that..therefore it is the case here.

 

with massive if and buts beside it.

If he has a chin, if he can take a punch, if he keeps working hard, if he can step it up to the next level etc etc....

 

Brickfists KO1 Rigondeaux. :bbb :blurp

 

Oooh, I do Live talking about if's, but's and maybies.

 

If you weren't such a shitty poster, maybe I'd take you seriously, but you are.

 

**** off..

 

haha ha! I used to be 12 once...and you Elvis! Grow Up! :shock: there's nothing wrong with my posts and im not aiming to improve so deal with it.

 

It was tongue in cheek. No offence intended.

 

Anyone know much about the boy he's fighting on saturday ? see him in prizefighter ?

 

I am based out of the western United States but one fighter who caught my eye is Northern Ireland's Carl Frampton, a real 122 pound prospect who I expect big things out of quickly. He fights this Friday against Ronnie Turley in an eliminator for the British title.

His career is being guided by Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan and he has sparred with Jason Booth, giving a good account of himself according to most.

I interviewed him earlier today, let me know what you think of my piece:

Frampton comes alive!

When 24-year old Belfast super bantamweight prospect Carl Frampton operates within a boxing ring, it is with a subtle confidence that is unobjectionable considering the young fighter's smooth combination punching and heavy right hand.

Against Venezuelan Oscar Chacin, Frampton mixed his arsenal to the head and body in a way that would make you believe he has more experience than his 9-0 [6 KOs] record would indicate.

Fellow Northern Ireland natives Brian Magee and Paul McCloskey both recently made unsuccessful bids for world titles, but its no surprise that Frampton already has many in the area already thinking he could be the one to break the recent spell.

For one, he has former world featherweight champion and Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan guiding his career. That alone has opened up doors for Frampton that are likely unavailable to other similarly hyped prospects. Being the protege of McGuigan in Ireland is like being the protege of Jordan in America; you could argue that nobody else could properly gauge what it takes to reach the top the way the International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee could. That McGuigan saw something impressive enough from jump to get involved would be enough to warrant the instant buzz that Frampton received.
