Carl Frampton v Andres Gutierrez 29th July 2017 Channel 5 Real free boxing!!!!

[powerpuncher]

A bit of over exaggeration? If he loses that could be the end of his career? Really? It wouldn't be good for him to lose, but it wouldn't be a career ending loss.

Gutierrez could still be unbeaten as the Mijares loss could have gone either way. I think it could be a decent scrap. A Frampton KO would be impressive.

I know it is an exaggeration but it sells well if you say that, even if it is free.

These channel 5 shows starting with the main event at 10pm is rubbish, it's like the bad old days when you never saw an undercard. Got to wait all bloody Saturday night for one match.

Anyway... bit surprised Gutierrez has been so readily written off (for the tiny handful of fans that are interested). A 24-year-old, 35-1 (25 KOs) Mexican that has suffered one disputed loss to Mijares is a 10/1 shot. 10/1! McGregor is twice as likely to beat Floyd than Frampton suffers a loss against an unexposed guy that's held his own in world-class.

However, Gutierrez does look made for Framton - come forward pressure fighter. Doesn't look an explosive puncher but wasn't slowing down in the Mijares fight. If Frampton can't put a dent in him early he better be in terrific shape. Frampton is 7/2/Gutieerrez 25/1 to win rds 7-12

The undercard is usually on that other channel, is it spike tv or something? They just don't publicise it very well at all.

You really don't see many bad ranked Mexican fighters in the lighter weights, and I rate Frampton too. Should be a good scrap, with home advantage perhaps being decisive?

[Fenster]

Frampton didn't make weight and couldn't be bothered to even try (1lb over).

[Fenster]

Yeah the absolute dog shit undercard is on Spike (apparently).

I'm all for this free TV lark but I prefer a night of boxing not just one poxy fight. I'll gladly watch Connor Benn, Yarde, Dubios, Kelly, Cheese etc, and any other prospect chinning their way through hod carriers and cabbies than nothing at all.

The channel are useless at promoting boxing, it is as if they do not want to cover any boxing.

I always get really annoyed when a fighter fails to make weight. Carl has known the date of the weigh in for several months now, and he was only a pound over. He decided not to make weight so as to give himself an advantage over his opponent, and that is really disrespectful and unprofessional.

He also obviously thinks he is big enough (no pun intended) to get a title shot next without this bout being an eliminator.

Very disrespectful to his opponent.

He is a solid guy, but he is always much shorter than his opponents since he's moved up a weight. If he is now struggling at this weight, he will be tiny compared to the guys in the division above!

If he is so cut and dehydrated that losing the extra pound would have made a difference, he will be really tight even a pound over ..... it will be interesting to see what happens if the fight goes into the 7th

Bad Carl.

[Master]

It is only one pound and not for the title so give Frampton a break.
