    I enjoyed it. I like those off the cuff kind of inside info documentaries. Not the usual scripted BS you get.

    Will it be on that BBC player thing or get repeated? Didn't get to catch it last night and would be interested for sure.

    Usually on Saturdays and-or Sundays you will get BBC repeats. Keep an eye. I will too. Part II on next Wednesday at 2240.

    I enjoyed that.

    You really get a feeling for how emotionally involved Barry is with Frampton. At least he was mature enough to listen to Shane in the dressing room when he was just letting the occasion get the better of him.

    People forget he took a guy who was NOT an amateur standout or international medal winner and invested an enormous amount of time, money and emotion into Carl's career and ended up reaping the rewards for the big risk he took. I for one am delighted it has all worked out so well.

    Andres Guttierez apparently. Would've hoped for better personally.

    A 23 year old Mexican who turned pro at 15 and only has one loss in 37 fights? History suggests that type of fighter better not be taken lightly.

    I appreciate you might have wanted Santa Cruz or Sellby, but they weren't going to happen this time out (should happen in the next 18 months though), so this is a warmup fight of sorts against a decent opponent while he looks for a bigger fight. Pretty standard.

    Aye aware of all that mate but Frampton himself would've been hoping for better I'm sure. They clearly tried a million different options before him too given it took this long to make. I'm sure that record is extremely padded. Gonna try and dig up his fight with Mijares if I can and see if he looks any good.

    I'd have rathered any of the likes of Donaire, Vasquez, Mijares, Cueller, Warrington, Galahad to this to be honest. Obviously most fighters they were after refused to come to Belfast though so it's tricky. It's not what I'd call exciting but I don't begrudge Carl taking a soft touch after his last few fights by any means.

    Carl to split with Cyclone looking fairly ominous now. Pretty shocking really. Wonder if Cyclone got bit hard in the pocket with the fight cancellation. Would assume Carl will just become a full time Haymon fighter?

    Hi, any time I try to use BBC IPlayer it says it "Iplayer only works in the UK' I am in Dublin, and I'd really like to see this. Anyone any ways around it apart from a paid vpn thing? I find the free ones don't work on Iplayer. Thanks.

    By the sounds of it he's splitting from Shane too. Be very interesting to see where Carl ends up.

    I think the hate for Eddie is very real from Carl. I'd be shocked if he even considered going with him.

    Warren or Haymon full time I reckon. If he wants that big Windsor fight then Warren should be the choice. If he wants to guarantee the big US fights then you'd have to think he sticks with Haymon.

    It's the trainer that will be very interesting. I've no idea who he'll go with tbh.

    .

    It would not surprise me if he goes back to Hearn. Money talks as they say, and if he feels he will get a crack at Selby it may tempt him.

    I've got a friend close to the camp who says he'll be training with Adam Booth. Might not be true, but he named Gutierrez as an opponent over a week before it was reported anywhere.

    He also says Kell Brook will be training with McGuigan.

    That's strange.

    He was due down there at some point middle of this week, so I was told. I'm not claiming it to be fact, just passing on information from someone who has been knowledgeable on the subject in the past.

    Josh Taylor, Conrad Cummings, Chantelle Cameron and I've no idea what the story with Josh Pritchard is. Doesn't seem to box anymore. Looking very bare. I do rate him though, think he'll have no problems attracting fighters to him tbf.

    Very detailed and in-depth read on Irishboxing.com regarding the Frampton/McGuigan split. I can't link it here.
