Frampton/Fury - BT Sports & Showtime 18/8/18

Was Fury even trying to stop his opponent last night? Was it all about doing the 10 rounds?

Was Fury even trying to stop his opponent last night? Was it all about doing the 10 rounds?

Fury was not trying to stop his opponent early in the fight obviously wanting to go some rounds. Although I think he did try around round 7 on wards but did not have the power of conditioning to pull off the stoppage.

Luke Jackson reveals gruesome injuries after suffering two burst eardrums during brutal Carl Frampton defeat in Belfast

Luke Jackson has revealed he fought on with two perforated eardrums before being stopped in the ninth round of his interim title fight against Carl Frampton last weekend at Windsor Park.

Australian Jackson, who previously had never been put on the canvas in his career, was floored in the eighth with a brutal body shot before his corner had seen enough and threw in the towel to draw a halt to proceedings.

The 33-year-old put in a gamely and gutsy performance but was ultimately outclassed by the home fighter and revealed the full extent of the gruesome injuries he sustained at the hands of Frampton by posting a post-fight picture of his bruised and battered face on Instagram.



He accompanied the picture with a caption, writing: 'You don't play boxing! Two perforated eardrums - left ear in round 3, right ear in round 6 and then the body shot in round 8.

'I wanted to finish the fight but I respect my coach and my team's decision. I'll live to fight another day.'

Jackson was undefeated in his 16 pro fights prior to the Belfast showdown but will now have to go back to the drawing board and regroup after suffering his first loss.

Frampton, meanwhile, now has eyes set on bigger and better things after realising his boxing dream of fighting and winning at the Belfast Stadium.

The Jackal's merciless performance has teed up a battle of Britain with Josh Warrington for his IBF world featherweight title, which could take place in Manchester later this year.

'Given our styles, this could be the fight of the year,' said Frampton about a potential clash with Warrington after confounding suspicions that he may be past his prime.

Both Frampton and Warrington are promoted by Frank Warren, which will make negotiations less complicated.

People, please stop saying anyone will hold up a fight with AJ. It just looks foolish. 2 years ago Wilder called out AJ and AJ replied “we’ll fight later” since then “I may freeze him out” “maybe in 2019 or 2020” all the embarrassing BS of the recent swerve.

AJ will fight him but it is clear as day AJ has put this fight off. Forget his own words saying so, just look at this. Wilder offered AJ 50 million AND a percentage. AJ refused and offered back no percentage. AJ gave the meaningless Parker a percentage, AJ gave the meaningless Povetkin a percentage. But not Wilder. Don’t try to invent a narrative. AJ didn’t want the fight, clear as day. It makes more money later anyway, good business. But don’t believe obvious obvious BS, make them tell the truth by calling the obvious obvious BS what it is, BS.

Don’t make this place an echo chamber where you sit around telling each other nonsense. Keep it real

Where did all that rant come from? We have said all that is to be said around this without going around and rehearsing the same arguments.

Wilder is hopefully fighting Fury which makes AJ look foolish. Let's see what happens next.

Look at the thread, multiple people have mentioned Wilder May push off an AJ fight, Fury May push off an AJ fight. AJ brings the most money(unless we are absolutely stunned to learn Wilder can sell PPVs in the USA, highly highly unlikely). The guy that brings the most money gets the fights they want when they want.(unless Arum is on the other side)

Frampton Warrington looks like it could be class. Warrington may have got Selby on a less than perfect night but he more than did a number on him. Frampton is not as sharp as he was and it's almost a 60/40 fight now unlike a year or two ago when Frampton would have been the clear favourite.
