    Or does he get shafted on for not fighting Rigo at 122? Thoughts.

    Myself personally I see this as a better choice because he gets an opportunity to win a 3rd title in his second weight class. Rigo can wait for the moment as I don't see him wanting to move up anytime soon, and if Frampton fails he might be able to move back down and perhaps Rigo and Frampton could fight for a vacant strap. I think it was a good move for Frampton to move up and try his luck at 126.

  3. He should have fought Rigo, how often do you have a 2 time Olympics gold medalist in your division?
    Oh wait never, his LSC fight is always there since they are both with Haymon.

    If he has just outgrown 122 then neither really.

    I think it was more a case of him struggling with the cut to 122 than any 'daring to be great' bull****, as usual.

    Who used daring to be great as a point? It's a simple ****ing question, no need to throw in your nonsense on what you think this thread is about. Go take a bath you Dirty Alpaca.

    :lol: I wasn't insinuating anything. It's just people seem to think whenever a fighter moves up it's some sort of bold move of great bravery, when the majority of the time it' s because they're sick of boiling themselves in a sauna for weeks.

    So no, while LSC would be a very good win for him, he won't get credit from me just for moving up.

    And he ducked Rigo HARD.

    IDK. I think he's very capable of making 122 if he fails his first attempt at 126. Like you said, he is a small guy.

    Yeah it seems a little surprising to me too, but he was saying how much he struggled for the Gonzalez fight. Might be an element of making excuses for a poor performance, but it does seem to be an issue, he ain't doing 14 week camps for nothing.

    Would have preferred Frampton to fight Rigo, but I'm happy with the Santa Cruz fight too.
