THE ODDS ARE stacked against Chris Avalos for his IBF world title shot against Carl Frampton.
But that hasn’t stopped the American and his camp from making some bold predictions.
Frampton puts his super-bantamweight crown on the line for the first time in Belfast’s Odyssey Arena on Saturday, live on UTV Ireland and ITV.
“The Jackal” is odds-on favourite to KO the challenger but Avalos’s father Felipe believes his son can strip the champion inside six rounds.
“I’ve got bad news. I’m going to win,” Avalos said at today’s pre-fight press conference. “I’m going to take the belt home.
“I haven’t come all this way to lose. That would be stupid. It makes no sense.”
The undefeated Frampton brushed off the prediction and insisted: “This guy knows what’s going to happen.
“He has lost twice before to guys who don’t compare to me. He’s used to it. It’s going to be more of the same.”
Robbie Keane deserves a statue outside Landsdowne Road, our greatest ever player
If rob keane is your best ever player I feel sorry for Irish football. On another note David Moyes is a fraud to football.
scores heaps of goals for us, loves playing for his country, most caps, amazing servant.
I bet your raging nobody took the bait
Keane has more goals than any English player ever in international football history…..
Remember England playing Emile Heskey on the wing at the World Cup?? Donkeys that country are at football
Strange but I have a good feeling about this game IRL 3 – 0 SWE . Come on you boys in green
Sweden and Austria are both there for the taking. COYBIG
Would love to see a full or almost full Aviva tonight, seems to be such a rarity for football matches at it. Not sure of our chances but we did play well away from home against them, COYBIG
obviously i understand the financial problems meaning people can’t afford the FAI’s ridiculously overpriced tickets also.
It’s Robbie Keanes boyhood dream to play for Sweden
Most overused joke in Irish football…
