x2 although I like Josh from the start.

He's been there and done it and Warrington is largely untested at the very top level .
Looking forward to this massively .

fully respect Carl he has been class both in and out of the ring but think Warrington out works him on the night

this is coming across as he is trying to fire himself up for this fight haha!

It’s a cracking fight. All being equal, Frampton mid rounds (incidentally, he’s a lovely bloke, never heard anyone, until this forum say differently), but I strongly suspect he’s struggling at the weight, and on that basis I’m going for a busier Warrington to stop him late or a clear decision.

I’m not sitting on the fence, but I think it’s one of those fights where you will be pretty certain how it will go after the first round.

probably one of the nicest fellas but think getting down to FW gets tougher each fight all other things being equal Warrington scrapes a decision it will be a competitive fight !

I’ve gone for Warrington Points.

Couple of reasons. I feel Frampton is on the downward slope slightly.
Santa-Cruz 1 was his pinnacle. He hasn’t looked as sharp since then.

Secondly he’s on the small side at Feather.

A prime Frampton would move in and out and also time nice counters.

I see Warrington tying him up and smothering him and getting the better of some messy inside exchanges.

Around the 116-112 mark in Warringtons favour.

Anyone know where the weigh in is being held ?

Looks like BJS is fighting Charles Adamu, 8 rounds, super middleweights

Harvey Horn Added To Card

Harvey Horn has had a new date sprung upon him earlier than expected.

The former Team GB amateur had been set to fight as a professional for the fourth time last weekend.

Horn was meant to meet Cristian Narvaez at the Brentwood Centre in Essex, exclusively live on BT Sport.

But the 23-year-old was forced to sit it out after his opponent pulled out at late notice.

It was thought that ‘HHH’ would have to wait until next year to return.



owever, the ex-unpaid starlet has been given a touch by his promoter allegedly and will fight on Saturday at Manchester Arena.

Horn will form part of the supporting cast to Josh Warrington’s IBF featherweight world title defence against former two-time world champion Carl Frampton, exclusively live on BT Sport Box Office.

“ buzzing to announce I’ll now be fighting on the massive [Josh] Warrington [vs. Carl] Frampton card in Manchester!” the former under-22 European champion, who will face Josue Bendana (10-8-4, 6 KOs) over six rounds, wrote on social media.

“[A] big thanks to [promoter allegedly] for putting me on one of the best cards of the year. [It is] short notice but fortune favours the brave.”

To be honest, couldn't tell much from that weigh in should be a cracker tomorrow!

Saunders weighed in 178.5lbs against replacement opponent Charles Adamu who came in at 173.2lbs.

Is it at LHW?

I though it would be SMW.. But I guess there isn't really a contracted weight..

He weighed similar against Yoann Bloyer before he fought Lee for the WBO belt.

thats his walk around weight (180ish since joining Dom) when fully rehydrated, should be a fairly routine run out

Went the jackal ko first of all not rd. I think it is a close fight .Warrington is getting better with every fight.i think the best Frampton beats Josh.going to stick with a Frampton win but would not be a shock if Josh won. Josh work rate will be tested too will not be one way traffic .He is in his toughest fight ever he will have to dig deep Frampton is a sweet puncher work rate will deminsh quick when getting caught with slick shots
