    Good call, for years I thought this was an easy Selby win.

    I still don’t rate Warrington that much, doesn’t hit hard and I don’t like his style. Think he loses that title quickly especially if he tries to unify or box Frampton.

    Depends on how good his chin is, and it seems quite decent, it wouldn't shock me if he nicked that one too, I lean Carl, but not with much confidence.

    Yeah Carl who boxed the Mexican before Donaire loses to Warrington tonight. But I think Frampton’s sharp punching slows down Warrington, Lee was powder puff tonight. Not a chance in hell Warrington can stop Carl so Carl should comfortably outbox him.

    Warrington has that fresh youth and hunger on his side along with a great engine, providing he has a good chin that's a hard nights work for anybody. Frampton will be an interesting fight, can carl keep up with this hungry young man at this stage?

    This. On one or two occasions tonight Warrington became hesitant when Selby landed a few shots back-to-back and looked a little lost before regrouping. Carl would hit him harder and more often. I think a Frampton vs Warrington fight would merely show the gulf in class between Carl and Selby at this stage of their careers.

    To be honest I actually sat the whole way through tonight thinking only that Carl Frampton is on a different level to those two...not to discredit Warrington's excellent workrate in what was a scrappy fight.

    Carl Frampton won't allow a scrappy fight against Warrington though, the difference is he has the snap in his punches to keep Warrington at bay, which was what Lee Selby severely lacked all night.
    Not to mention that Frampton's accuracy is actually outstanding.
