Luke Jackson vs. Carl Frampton
Luke Jackson is hardly known by fight fans, aficionados and gamblers but he has a long shot opportunity to change all of that when he faces heavily favored Carl Frampton for the WBO interim featherweight title on August 18. While it is true that Jackson has an undefeated record for his career it is equally true that his record was built up against weak competition. Frampton on the other had has an impressive list of opponents and wins while also having proven himself as a defending champion. For this reason, Jackson will enter this fight as a decided underdog at a huge price that may entice bargain hunters. But the question remains as to whether or not he has a puncher’s chance.
