ya auss had it easy for years with olympic qualification, basically just had to beat polynesians to qualify,
but then they changed it for rio, and guess what, auss had there smallest team in 30 years, with only 2 men qualified. i dont know about jackson, but i really doubt guys like joel brunker would qualify now

Frampton's spot on when he says Jackson representing Austrailia at the Olympics isn't much a big deal as the qualification standard isn't the best over there,
It's almost like he's a crap opponent and Frampton shouldn't be fighting him.
Will likely go the distance.. As per most Frampton fights. However.. I think we'll see an aggresive Frampton as Jackson has been getting under his skin a lot! Plus I think he'd want to give the Belfast fans a good show. Sometimes, as much as masterclass boxing excites fans, we do enjoy the explosiveness too.

Jackson is the type of opponent that Frampton should be making a statement against.

Hopefully he does. Be a man of his word. I'd rather see a demolition job here rather than a masterpiece. We already got that against Donaire.

Yeah he's not had a stoppage since that prick Avalos. He wound him up and he went for it so hoping for more of the same here.

I'm pretty pumped for this fight. With the bad blood, I'm pretty sure Frampton is going to go out to knock his block off!

Frampton looked as good as he has in a while against Donaire, did get clipped a few times but took the punches well and was well conditioned, fought a good pace and won wide, he hasnt had a KO in a while but I reckon Jackson's been thrown to the wolves here, different levels and I'd be pretty disappointed if Frampton cant put Jackson away by the halfway point
Only an SD over Will Young !

Apparantly it was carnage and a tough watch, the ring was covered in blood, both guys had their moments dominating one another and serious poundings were dished out by both men

Fury loooking slimmer.. TBH, he looked slim at the last open workout, it's just when he took his top off.

I would have preferred Steve Collins Jr vs. Steven Ward on telly as well.
Yeah I thought that would definitely be on.
Frampton will KO this guy in 4/5 rounds and Fury will clown Pianeta! Glad I decided not to go to this one!
Do you go Ireland a lot?
Just when I can for the boxing mate. Odd night out etc... Been going to watch Frampton since 2010ish. Always have a great time at the boxing there. Had a bit of bother at the Parodi fight but part from that it's always spot on. Atmosphere is excellent.
