The Jackal's Prey


Carl 'The Jackal' Frampton showed the World tonight why he will one day be a contender for a World Championship. Frampton (15-0 [10ko]) has shown in his short professional career he was a force to be reckoned with with a huge stoppage of former 2x World Champion Steve Molitior tonight. The Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland was amazed by the quality shown by the prospect of how he handled the Canadian whilst retaining his Commonwealth and IBF Inter-continental Super-Bantamweight Championships.

Molitor (34-3 [12ko]) looked like an amateur not a former World Champion against The Belfast man when he was under constant pressure. The writing was on the wall from the start when Frampton looked to quick and strong for the Canadian Kid. The referee finally stopped the bout in the 6th round when Molitor had already been down at the end of the 5th round and twice in the 6th.

The future is bright for Frampton who's world is his oyster. There is alot of fights and the improvment The Jackal has made from each of his fights is there for everyone to see.

=========================

Paul McCloskey returned after his loss unexpected TKO lost to Damarcus Corley in his last fight against WBA's ranked 8th Mike Perez. Dudey looked in control but continued to show he takes alot of un needed shots. Lucky for Dudey though as Perez is not a knockout artist. McCloskey (24-2 [12ko] picked up the vacant WBA Intercontinental Light Welterweight Championship with a points decision over the American.

I honestly can not see McCloskey taking the step up as he leaves his chin wide open and gets caught to many times. I hope I am wrong as McCloskey is a very likeable character and deserves a break but unfortunately I can not see that happening.

==========================

The other fights of the night Martin Lindsay (20-1 [7ko]) won but did not get his shot at Commonwealth and British Super Featherweight Champion Lee Selby due to Selby being rushed to hospital with an illness. He will be happy that he fought a fighter a pound above his weight winning by unamious decision against Renald Garrido.

Kal Yafai continued his impressive start to his career with a points decision win, while there points wins for Dee Walsh, Martin J. Ward and Paddy Gallagher. Another debutant Ben Mulligan struggled in his first professional fight losing to Mariusz Bak.
