Just back from the Frampton weigh in at the Europa in Belfast hope he steam rolls Avalos tomorrow night, I don't follow boxing that much but like to see the local boys doing well. What are you more expert opinion on Frampton, is he the real deal or not?

Looking like the real deal so far (4 rounds gone) , very impressive. Actually met him in the Europa a couple of years ago although I have to be honest I didn't know who he was then

Yes. He'll give Quigg a lesson too.

Thanks guys, I thought he handled himself well last night, although it was clearly set up as a fight he was going to win. looking forward to a real test for him.

Brook stands a better chance against Manny than Floyd.

I think he stops Khan. Brook has great timing when on form. Khans always been easy to hit ( ignore fights like his last couple against carefully selected powder puff punching, offensively limited fighters )
Having said that its a 50/50 fight.

That boy Jo Jo Dan was awful, cant believe he was the no.1 contender, he was all over the place from the first bell, completely out of his depth.

Brook v Khan would be tastey though, would like to see that happen in the summer.

One of my mates just reminded me of this, but i'll be honest, hadn't seen it in a few years and i'd forgotten just how relentless a first round this was



brutal.

Dunno if you've seen this mate, one of the best fights I have seen.



Bloody hell - them left hooks from Katsidis are unreal quick, that 2nd round is a banger.

So we've got the most relentless 1st & 2nd rounds down, what's the most savage 3rd round anyone can think of? :LOL:

Just realised, lost track of what day it is - what time does the Joshua and Gavern fight start? Tuned in and it's in the middle of some epic ad break on this stream...

edit: just realised, i slept longer than i thought and it's almost half eleven. I'll find a repeat of it :LOL:

Khan doesn't want it - it's not happening anytime soon

Khan seems to avoid big punchers - I heard talk of him fighting Cotto and instead of that fight or Brook he chooses to fight the pillow fisted Algieri

I'm not remotely interested in that fight - I'd love to see him face Cotto or Brook.

Hopefully if both win and the Mayweather/Pac winner fight doesn't happen for Khan (which it won't) he will decide a big domestic fight against Brook for a title is his best option.

Interesting to watch Stevenson beat Bika so easily yesterday in the light of Kovalev's stoppage of Pascal - the fight between Stevenson and Kovalev is now set up to be very exciting and I hope it gets made

Beterbiev looks a monster too, looks like he could be in that mix pretty soon.
