    Yep high workrate can be a bad style against a crisp puncher with power in two hands. Terrific fight in prospect though.

    How can you doubt his chin, he took clean shots from Martinez a know puncher and didn't even look hurt, Kiko may not be as good as LSC but he punches harder than LSC, no way will LSC give Frampton a pasting nor vice versa it's a 50/50 and a great fight.

    The fight needs to happen. Would be amazing if Cruz traveled over.

    Massive fight.

    After really thinking about it cruz size and reach might be a real problem

    Frampton tko I don't think Cruz has the power to deter Frampton going for bombs.
    Cruz is weight drained at this weight class you can see cruz going right up to light welter i think it will be the difference Rigo and Frampton are born for this weight Cruz is draining himself at this weight he is 5'7 after all.I think Framptons power will rock the weight drained Cruz.

    Framptons movement is also key as we saw in LSC last fight

    I think your exaggerating there, no way he takes him apart. More like he out boxes Frampton

    As you can tell i'm a massive Frampton fan but everyone knows Rigondeaux outboxes him and UD's him doubt he "takes him apart" in the sense of stopping Carl but he UD's him no question

    Santa Cruz would get picked apart and busted up trying to stalk Frampton. Frampton is the Truth!

    Frampton might not be the tallest fighter, but his team seem to think he is the heaviest 122 lbs fighter come fight night, suggesting he cuts quite a bit of weight.

    Great fight, Santa Cruz was treated harshly after the Seda fight IMO, that was actually a decent performance against a very tricky, talented fighter who didn't want to commit

    Frampton vs Santa Cruz would be a different story, both nice guys with a ferocious sense of competition.

    Both guys have charisma and respect for eachother.

    Make the fight

    I don't see anything special in LSC to be honest.

    Lsc is a very good fighter who throws 100 punches a round and keeps coming forward but doesnt have ko power just average power. Frampton i think can stop him carl hits hard and has good timing and lsc will be coming froward and i think will walk into big shots and be stopped inside 6. Only thing im not sure of is if lsc keeps carl on the backfoot how will he react
