Listen: Carl Frampton – An appreciation

After Carl Frampton’s loss to Jamel Herring, Alex Steedman and Matt Christie reflect on the Northern Irishman’s career and legacy on the Opening Bell podcast

FOLLOWING Carl Frampton’s loss to Jamel Herring in Dubai, Alex Steedman and Matt Christie reflect on the Northern Irishman’s career and legacy, from the headiest of highs in Belfast and New York to the final low as he bid for a third divisional title.

This weekend’s action is previewed, including Joe Smith Jnr-Maxim Vlasov and Conor Benn-Samuel Vargas, while the seemingly neverending invasion of yesterday’s heroes – as Miguel Cotto, Juan Manuel Marquez and Marco Antonio Barrera all signal comebacks of sorts – is addressed.

This Week In History goes in-depth on Barrera’s victory over Naseem Hamed alongside a look back on the best wins of The Prince.

The book this week is Sorcery At Caesars: Sugar Ray’s Marvelous Fight by Steve Marantz.
