    Has anybody seen him fight, how do they think the fight will pan out. Looking at his record on Boxrec i see he has had points deducted in a few of his fights:think

    This is all i can find on him which i will give a watch tomorrow

    Hirales is half decent, has been poor on occasions, Frampton wins decisively.

    He looks a tough fighter but he comes forward all night which surely will suit Frampton down to the ground, he won't have to make his openings himself, they will just keep appearing. He likes to go to the body and seems happy to lay on your chest whilst he catches his breath from time to time, cant see that being allowed by Frampton, no complaints about the opponent but it looks like a level thing.

    Frampton rsf 5-7 for me

    Summed up perfectly, worth a cheeky fiver on rounds 5 through 8 i reckon. Even if the lad is super durable gotta fancy a British stoppage mid to late.

    Gonna bump this. Frampton showed another dimension in the Hirales fight; he showed he can box off the back foot very effectively, although against a B- type guy.

    He really was blessed with fast hands, and coordination/balance.

    He is taking a HUGE step up in facing Kiko Martinez in September. Martinez is the second tier of best super bantams right under Rigo, Mares, and Donaire. He's a solid B+ boxer, maybe even A- level. He's on par with Randell Munroe, although he lost twice to him in close, solid fights.

    If Frampton gets past Martinez, he needs to fight Munroe. Then he should test himself against a slightly crude, but extremely rugged, and powerful guy like Thailand's P-swat. Then maybe 1-2 more tune up fights before challenging a guy like Mathebula, Vazquez, or Arce.

    I just don't see him being on the level of Rigo, mares, and Donaire; but then again, he probably will never be, and simply needs to take his time, and at the right time, make a challenge.
