Knowing Frampton, it'll probably be a crappy UD or a late stoppage.

Is this guy worse than Luke Jackson?

Can’t wait for him to start getting the fights. 2020/21 will be a great year for featherweights I think.

King Tug/Valdez/Conlan/Nikitin/Stevenson/ The Cuban who just turned over.

Possibly ? Jordan Gill battered this guy - walked right through him.

Also lost wide point to Clary who Galahad beat pretty easily in the US as well.

Stopped him pretty easily - he boxed well granted but it was pretty one sided beat down for 2 of the 3 rounds once he got to him.

Even Frampton now to quite at his peak would still be well above Gill’s level - glorified tick over before Valdez (that’s if he can do the weight)

Undercard Information


Former super featherweight world champion Jason Sosa won’t have to travel far for his next assignment. The native of Camden, New Jersey, will make the short drive to Philadelphia to face veteran Haskell Lydell Rhodes in a 10-round super featherweight bout Saturday, Aug. 10 at the Liacouras Center.

Sosa-Rhodes will be the co-feature to the Carl Frampton-Emmanuel Dominguez featherweight clash and will stream live on ESPN+, beginning at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

The undercard will stream live on ESPN+ beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.

"I was supposed to fight July 19 against Erick De Leon, but he got injured. That doesn't matter now. I'm ready for Rhodes," Sosa said. "I couldn't care less as long as my team prepares me to fight that person I'm scheduled to fight. That's all I care about."

"I'm going to show everyone watching on ESPN+ and all the great boxing enthusiasts in Philly that Haskell Lydell Rhodes is a top fighter,” Rhodes said. "Jason Sosa is a former world champion, and that has motivated me to show what I’m made of. Yes, this is short notice, but I'm an old-school guy. I'm in the gym every day.”

Sosa (22-3-4, 15 KOs) was the sport’s “Cinderella Man” of 2016, as he knocked out WBA world super featherweight champion Javier Fortuna in the 11th round of an all-action bout. Later that year, he defended the title in Monte Carlo with a unanimous decision over Stephen Smith. Back-to-back defeats to Vasiliy Lomachenko and Yuriorkis Gamboa halted Sosa’s momentum, but he has won two in a row, most recently grinding out a 10-round unanimous decision over Moises Delgadillo on Jan. 18 in Verona, New York. Rhodes (27-3-1, 13 KOs), who is now based in Las Vegas, is an eight-year pro who has never been stopped in 31 professional bouts. An Oklahoma native, Rhodes is 4-1 since an 0-2-1 skid that included competitive decision losses to Sergey Lipinets and Edner Cherry.

The following bouts are scheduled for the undercard stream:

* The long-awaited professional debut of two-time Cuban Olympic gold medalist Robeisy Ramirez will come against Adan Gonzales (4-2-2, 2 KOs) in a four-round featherweight bout.

* South Philadelphia-born heavyweight puncher Sonny “The Bronco” Conto (3-0, 3 KOs) will take on Guillermo Del Rio (2-2-1, 2 KOs) in a four-rounder. Conto was one of Tyson Fury’s chief sparring partners for Fury’s June 15 bout against Tom Schwarz. Conto stopped Daniel Infante in two rounds on the Fury-Schwarz card in Las Vegas.

* Middleweight sensation Edgar Berlanga (11-0, 11 KOs), who has 11 straight first-round knockouts to begin his career, will face an opponent to be named in an eight-rounder.

* Donald Smith (9-0, 6 KOs), a 5-foot-11 southpaw featherweight from Philadelphia, will look to notch his second victory of the year against Abdur-Raheem Abdullah (3-2, 0 KOs) in a six-rounder.

* Paul “The Punisher” Kroll (4-0, 4 KOs) will look to thrill the hometown fans versus fellow unbeaten Shinard Bunch (2-0, 2 KOs) in a six-round super welterweight bout. Kroll, who turned pro last August, has three first-round knockouts on his ledger.

* Jeremy “Magic Hands” Adorno (1-0, 0 KOs) will fight the upset-minded Fernando Robles (2-1, 0 KOs) in a four-round super bantamweight bout.

Who is? TBA?

I believe that Frampton has a couple of broken bones in his hand, so the fight is scrapped. Not sure of the card as a whole, if true.

Yeah Frampton’s got hand injury.

Just been cancelled - on BBC Sport.

Gutted for Frampton, was a poor match up but never good to see a fight scrapped so close to the fight, not the first time one of his fights has been called off during fight week after a freak accident

This time it’s his injury. At least it wasn’t after the weigh in.

They reckon someone bashed into some sort of ornament and it fell on his hand while having a coffee

Representatives from event promoters Top Rank and Peltz Boxing declined comment when asked for verification. Inquiries to MTK Global, Frampton’s management team went unreturned as this goes to publish.

For now, the show is believed to go on with what’s left on the undercard, although event handlers similarly declined comment on that subject as well.

Former 130-pound titlist Jason Sosa ( is currently slated to command the chief support, but the Camden (N.J.) knockout artist could receive an upgrade to main event for his scheduled crossroads bout with fringe contender Haskell Lydell Rhodes.

Id be surprised if BT bother to show this now with Sosa headlining

I've seen the video and heard the explanation but something seems not right about this. Not sure what but it seems off.

I know they do, that's not exactly news is it? The circumstances and previous history have put a seed of doubt in my mind.

I can't see this being made up, his hand looks pretty swollen and there will be witnesses at the hotel. Too much money lost in training camp, flights etc. to just pull out.

I've seen the video, he is injured. I'm sure it's just unfortunate coincidence.

How does that even happen? An ornament falling on your hand?
Bit dodgy that......
Has he been doing some wall punching?

He had another fight fall through because the opponent fell over in the shower didn’t he?

Then not long after it turns out the relationship between him and Cyclone went completely tango uniform.

I suppose we believe that now knowing all that, that we believe the opponent definitely did fall over in the shower do we?

Can’t be easy having to train for a fight and concentrate on that with a court case due before the end of the year.

The opponent showed a picture of his injury when he fell in the shower

Yeah Andres Gutierrez - he wasn’t actually worst opponent at 35-1-1 at the time.

Think rather than fell he KO’s in shower weight drained was more likely though.

As strange as the goings on were in the Guttierez build up, there was no logic for him to take a hiding or whatever just to allow Frampton to avoid the fight, as for this incident, it does seem like it is the bizarre truth
