December 22nd - Frampton v Warrington & Whyte v Chisora

Morrison J

Getting this one started early.

Which one we all watching live? Frampton v Warrington all day for me. Higher level fight with the far superior undercard and I think their styles will make a pretty good fight too tbf. Knowing Frank's cards Frampton-Warrington won't start till midnight anyway so catching both fights live will probably be do-able.

Mick Conlan in a decent step up fighting Jason Cunningham on the Frampton card too.

Think I'm just siding with Frampton to win but I think he'll be made work for it and that gas tank will be tested late. Be very confident a prime Frampton wins with a bit to spare but this current version under Jamie Moore I'm yet to be fully convinced by. Warrington improving all the time too.

Think Whyte will get the nod on the cards in another close fight on Sky.

Spot on. I agree with pretty much everything you said here. I'd be keen to have a look at young Fury, though I'm sure he's fighting a complete can.

Overall skills and talent I think Carl is much the more complete boxer/fighter....

He can do it all.....feather fists Warrington has a chance to win on points via volume, a chance increased should Carl not be able to really sting/hurt/bother him.

I will go with Carl late rds TKO. I think he connects at will on Warrington to head and body, whilst not being troubled by any shots that Warrington lands, as well as avoiding a lot of Warrington's shots...

You’re right. I had Belfast in my head for this one

Whyte KO/TKO

I think Chisora - Whyte will be a better watch but I’ll try watch both. Hopefully they don’t clash. Whyte and Frampton points seems the most obvious results.

Who's buying this?
Whyte chisora really shouldn't be on box office.

Frampton KO/TKO

What channel is the Frampton fight on?
I think he wins this one by a fairly wide points margin but I think as has been mentioned he needs to fight at his current best. Warrington will ping all night so Frampton will need to have a full gas tank.
I think the Whyte Chisora fight is hard to call. Chisora was very impressive against Takam in a surprising slugfest. I think whyte is looking past him and that could be his undoing. Whomever can connect big will get a ko this time round 9/10

Chisora Points

Sky have spent the last 2 years trying to make Whyte and Chisora look like PC respectable sports people. Now when they are showing their ads for the fight they showing clips of tables being thrown and press conference bust ups.

Reminds me of when the FAI went around fining LOI clubs for igniting flares are games. Then they did an advert for the FAI Cup with flares in the background :pac:


PPV buys must be Really bad.

Chisora reminds me of Ali in 1980..

An “old man” desperately trying to look years younger..

He's up against Dillian Whyte though, not a prime Larry Holmes!

Piss take they still aren't selling fights to non customers through app etc. so another nicked ppv.

Frampton on points.

Can see Mick Conlan having a tough night. Hopefully pulls it off.

Tommy Fury an interesting prospect. Looks and talks the part of he's any good. He's Tyson's half brother?

Knew I'd heard it somewhere. Tyson's brother Shane mentions it in an old IFL interview. Different mothers apparently.

Is it too late to order this on eir now? Chat link doesn't seem to be working any more.

Whyte KO/TKO

Probably the worst scorecard of the year in the Ryan Walsh fight. Ian John Lewis someone scoring it to Bellotti. Not sure how he could be given more than 2 rounds.

I thought he looked very evasive and balanced.

No Price was on PPV, watching both.

Gorman looked good in the first round and then very rarely throughout the fight. I think he's far too small to make a dent in any decent heavyweight though.

Still not accepting any blame for the nasal spray. It's all the fault of the regulatory body somehow. He should be looking at his backroom team for not knowing the differences in the rules.

Billy Joe would want to get a move on. He's only got a few good years left, and he's been p1ssing away the best years of his career.

It's ridiculous that they keep putting him and Dubois up against nobodies and don't fight them off against each other. Who wants to see either of them beat up a taxi driver any more?

Here comes Takam on the other 'Screen' hmmm, was hoping to go out for a a few beers.

Conlan needs to stick to southpaw here. Having far more joy there.

Dubois looked terrible in his last fight too. Don’t think either of them will make it past British level.

Conlan's gas tank more than passes the test anyway.

What?

Did you not think he looked a little labored/tired? And that against a lad who posed very little threat..

Hadn’t the energy on the last rd to close the show..

In a nutshell the zip and sharpness and spite is not there on offense..
