    Carl Frampton left his home fans singing in the rain as he halted Luke Jackson in nine rounds at a wet Windsor Park on Saturday.

    The two-weight world champion delivered the performance his home-city fans had turned up to see in Belfast, and the weather did not stop dampen the spirits of the crowd of 25,000 at the outdoor soccer stadium.

    Jackson is not a leading light in the featherweight division, but a first defense of the fringe WBO interim belt was still a significant step toward fighting the elite in the 126-pound division for Frampton.
