Doubt it will happen. Frampton should be fighting for the IBF title in his next fight. I thought Galahad looked pretty average against Dickens, both decent fighters but he didn't look a class above like I was expecting. Fair play to him, he got the stoppage but I think Dickens was winning the fight up to that point and just lost his way a bit.

Frampton easily, inside 8 rounds. No chance of it being on the Haye-Fury bill either, Frampton has a deal with allegedly and why fight on the road when he can sell out in Belfast?

Anyone who sleeps on Galahad's chances could be proven very wrong.

He's a capable fighter you know.

Really. Not sure how you see this. Ghalad will finish this fight on his back. The kid won't go any further than European level. Massively over rated, mainly by himself
I believe quite strongly that Galahad will be better than both Quigg and Frampton.

I'm surprised with your opinion here Billy. I actually disagree and think Frampton could be the next big thing. I thought KG last fight showed so many ways you could exploit him. I appreciate he has that Ingle awkwardness to him but Carl would wear him down and is a massive puncher. How would KG beat Framton?
IMO by stopping him with fast hard acurate punches

Considering Martinez who hits harder than Galahad was hitting Frampton flush on the button and Carl never looked buzzed, I find that hard to believe.

Im not saying he has no power but I havent seen anything to prove that he hit's harder than Martinez.

Galahad didn't stop Dickens due to his power, more to do with Dickens tiring. As Columbo said if Martinez didn't have an affect on Frampton no way will Galahads power trouble him. Frampton inside 6

I think Dickens' early success was based on an awful lot of head and foot movement, as the contest wore on he got tired, wasn't able to give KG the same angles and movement, and KG came back into the fight.

Frampton would walk through them, Galahad doesnt hit nowhere near as hard as Kiko...La Sensacion shots didnt fizz The Jackal

Frampton stops Young Barry...he has serious knockout power in both hands

for those saying Galahad doesn't have power, i know what you mean, he may not be the absolute biggest hitter, but he has that Ingle Gym thing of throwing shots from unexpected angles and walking people onto shots that hurt them more because they don't/ can't see them coming.

with his style he doesn't need to be the biggest puncher to hurt people.

You could tell Dickens hadn't done the weight properly, luckily for Galahad, the way he bombed out late in the fight

My brother sparred Kid Galahad and had said he is a very special talent. Very hard to hit with excellent movement. I think it would be very hard for Frampton to figure Galahad out.. If Frampton was to win it would be late stoppage but that's if he gets to that stage. I think it's a very interesting fight between 2 fighters that will go on to be World Class. I don't see any need in that fight now in my opinion it would be too risky for both.

Frampton has extensive amateur experience, im sure he'd figure Kid Galahad out soon enough

I know it would be a great fight but I say wait a year. If they pick up some titles, Frampton, Quigg and Galahad could be like a S.Batam Eubank, Benn and Watson

From what I`ve seen of them so far, Frampton would have to be favourite.

I've read and heard an awful lot about Galahad's supposed movement and awkwardness but each time I've seen him his opponents tagged him quite easily. Frampton would get him out of there IMO.

It would be a cracking fight. I don't think Frampton is great defensively.

i'm very interested that Billy Nelson speaks so highly of KG, and assume that comes from first-hand knowledge....
