Always felt Frampton was overrated, never really involved in entertaining fights either.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Frampton's been finished since the Warrington fight and he was always going to struggle with his size moving up the weights. It's a good decision to retire.
A weasel.
Good riddance
His antics ahead of the Fury fight reminded of Adrien Broner ahead of Maidana, and the fight played out pretty much the same, because he got his ass served to him by his opponent who saw through the hype and the bullshit. Well, Broner was a lot more talented than Wilder was but they are very similar characters.
I honestly don't think we'll see anything of Wilder at the top level again because his ego has been left in pieces. He came to boxing pretty late for his daughter's sake and he's probably already gotten what he wanted out of it.
As someone who only really follows the big fights in boxing, can I ask why so many think Wilder is a scumbag? An overrated fighter who mostly fought bums and relies on his power and made horribly stupid excuses when Fury destroyed him I understand. However I'm not aware of anything he's done to warrant calling his a scumbag (apart from possibly the "body on his record" thing, but a lot of fighters say stupid shit like that). Can someone enlighten me?
The body on his record is bad, and it’s also consistent with jumping a fighter (Dominic Brezeale) in front of his wife and kids and even at a press conference told that boxers young child “I’ll be the one who puts your daddy in a wheelchair” or something to that affect. He’s always trying to discredit others and his ego has made him do some ridiculous things like questioning the integrity and motives of referee Kenny Bayless, that of his own trainer when he threw him under the bus. Awful behavior. He choked out and beat up a hooker. There’s more. He’s trash.
Ah right. I wasn't aware that the body on the record thing went even further than just the comment. Sounds like a piece of work no doubt.

A great review that is on a brilliant achievement by yourself. Ordered it from Amazon last week and really looking forward to it.
To be honest though I had no idea who he was but his record is amazing.
Thanks. I really appreciate it and I look forward to you and others unfamiliar with him to learn about him.
The only book I've ever read was about a detective mouse, who found all the cheese, because had a dead good nose.
The next book I read will be this one. Congratulations on your effort. Ordered a copy.
Anyone watching Conor Benn tonight?
Gonna see what time the UFC is over. Could work out decent timing, or might need to catch up on Benn after.
Haha sounds great! Thanks a bunch!! Hope you enjoy it!!
I will be, looking forward to Courtenay v Bridges..
6/1 for Vargas might stick a fiver on him, you seen what happened Warrington a few weeks ago and Benn still very green.
Hell of a fight that was!
I think it was pretty close. Bridges could have won it if not for losing her vision in the last two.
Yeah I think Bridges put up a really good fight, pushed the fight the whole way just caught with a few better punches.
Has Eddie Hearn bought the rights to first 15 seconds of Fugees Ready or Not? I swear someone has the start of the song only on every one of their cards recently.
Wow Benn just blew Vargas away!
That was never a stoppage.
Seemed a bit of an early stopped for me. Did look good though and probably wouldn't of gone much longer anyway
Benn: Give me a challenge...give me Amir Khan
Tell me about it bet on Bridges too
Impressive from Ben, his jab has improved massively and rather than the wild hooks he relied on previously he’s vastly improved.
Benn: Give me a challenge...give me Amir Khan
Benn absolutely battered Vargas, the stoppage was correct he wasn't defending himself.
Benn looked very good but I thought they hyped Vargas up a lot. Only won 2 of his last 7 fights.
Sky are the masters of that. You'd think everyone they get is a world beater. In their interest to do it to be fair.
Real shame is that Benn will he a box office fighter now I imagine, leaving us with the Match room journeymen on normal sky
Benn has definitely improved. I don't find him very likeable though - why is he so angry and moody?
Joshua got an official offer last night from the Fury camp and the details are being ironed out today, looking like we might have a fight on our hands..
The actual feck is this shit
Did that dude just take a dive?
I would rather watch WWE. This is some bargain basement level bullshit
He’s a big Spurs fan. It was a tribute act
What the feck was that? I’ve been farted on harder.
I’ve been farted on harder.Just see the knockout! Surely that's a sham
Idgaf what anyone says that was fake af
