    Midlands Boxing Club, he won two Irish Senior Titles as an amateur and a Silver at the EU Championships.

    Here's a link to his fight where he won the Irish Senior featherweight title last year http://www.rte.ie/sport/other/2009/0...ateurs_av.html , possibly the best amateur bout I've ever seen and you can see how Frampton can transition well into a pro. Just skip 4 mins into the video.

    His fight with Kassai was covered by Sky(although off tv so tv viewers didn't see it) but uploaded onto Youtube. Unfortunately however the video was deleted for copyright reasons.


    Here's a thread on him from a little while ago:

    That's where he trains out of now, but didn't as an amateur.
    He's been getting some of the best sparring around, he's sparred with John Simpson, Jason Booth, Matthew Marsh, Mickey Coveney, and also either has or will spar Choi Tseveenpurev soon. There's probably more decent names I'm forgetting aswell.

    Scott Quigg is a brilliant pro.. Stephen Smith is also world class pro..

    As for me, Im a totally different fighter to what I was in the am's and also a totally different athlete, I feel you'll see the athlete in me when my fights start lasting a little longer.. I might not be body beautiful like your Pascal's and Dawsons but I'll guarentee there no fitter than me and are not trained any better than me either.

    I work myself to a standstill and have mixed with world class people in the gym and have never been found wanting with ANYONE... All my fights will be televised now so you'll see just exactly what Im about..:good

    you are a powerfull puncher, and i think you will do well, i would like to see you fight danny mcintosh, or ovill mckenzie, to be honest youve only fought smaller lemons so far, but good luck to you, im sure you won't avoid a challenge,

    Someone in the know(could be a bullshitter) has said David Haye played with you in sparring a few years back and really hurt you. Any truth in that?

    i don't count them **** amateur rumours anyhow, but hes a big l/heavy who fought middleweights, i beleive that like a lot of the other top ams he'll get bogged down at britt level, mind you i will say he has a punchers chance ,wich is more than a lot of the others have. quigg is still the top prospect for me to date.
