    The Donaire one imo, the rest are pretty much 50/50, the odds on Abell by KO are ridiculous, almost 2/1

    Yeah really insane, remind me again why I should think a guy coming off of being taken to school by Leo Santa Cruz and barely beating Horacio Garcia should be such a favorite against one of the best fighters of the last decade? Do you really think Frampton beats Rigo, Walters or Magdaleno?

    Frampton also beat LSC don't forget, they're 1-1.

    The main reason he should be such a favourite is because Donaire is way past his best. His fundamentals were never that good to begin with, he was always an athletic freak with superior reflexes, speed and power than his opponents, now that has dimmed he's nothing but a one dimensional sharp shooter.

    Frampton on the other hand is right in his prime, is the quicker man has superior timing and movement.

    Donaire of old would beat Frampton but Donaire of now will not. I'm incredibly intrigued by this fight in case Donaire can turn back the clock and whilst I would love it if he can, it's too much to ask for him at this stage of his career.

    Frampton would get schooled by Rigo but he has an excellent shot at beating Walters. Magdaleno would be similar to the way Donaire went a fight that could go either way.

    Donaire will have to fight on the front foot against Framoton and whilst Carl can be lured into a brawl by the right type of fighter he is much more comfortable on the back foot. Donaire is not that good at breaking down his opponents and barring a hail Mary shot I think Frampton is taking a wide decision.

    My heart says Donaire but my head is saying Frampton. This would be a sizeable upset.

    I do wonder if this is 1 too far for tommy after the eye injuries. Camp appears to have gone well and he looks in good shape though!

    I will be a happy man if I have to take a loss after picking Dodd!!

    My honest answer is I think so yes but I don’t want to get too excited.

    Probably because Abell has been stopped multiple times. Plus the fight is happening in Poland, so the possibility of Abell being on the receiving end of a Polish TKO stoppage is worth rolling the dice on.
