Hope I'm Wrong but I see LSC winning late stoppage. Frampton more skillful but size reach and physicality of Sant Cruz might be too much. 60-40 favourite for me but anything goes.
Shame we are not seeing press conferences and head to head meetings. The build up has been very very boring....almost no publicity. Such a shame cos it's a great fight.
You lucky man. Wish I as there! Enjoy the boxing....should be great. Have you been there before...is the arena any good for boxing?
I agree with you I think frampton learns nothing from Shane and Shane is massively over rated.i don't think frampton has improved for a long time. I don't see Santa Cruz winning a decision though.he will either win by stoppage as frampton struggles with pressure or frampton wins by decision. I do t see it being too much of a war either mcguigan is full of **** trying to sell the fight again but I see Carl being quite negative. However I think frampton by decision but I'm not sure if I'm going with what I want to happen over what I actually think will happen
Whilst I was rooting for Quigg I'd like to see Frampton triumph against LSC. I was put off Frampton in the lead up to Quigg as I thought the arrogance of the wee fella and his son was rubbing off on him with all the a side *******s. Regardless of weight I think if Frampton is to stay with Shaneo Mac this is as good as we will see him and at 126 I don't think it'll be enough.
LSC by late stoppage, he will keep coming and make Frampton work far harder than Quigg did. LSC will just wear Frampton down. Quigg gave Frampton a real hard last few rounds and Quigg didn't do anything to justify Frampton gassing like that.
Did u get the email about Wembley Champions League m8 I will be getting the 3 game package Think Frampton will win and have put £120 on it and will go a fiver a piece on rounds 6 and 7. With Frampton he always finds a win last 2 fights case in point. A real 50/50 fight but just have a feeling Frampton will benefit from moving up. And with Shane in the corner cool head and good instructions will get the job done. Will be at the Leeds show so will either have to watch online or find a bar
Leo could end up having a very hard time dealing with Frampton. Carl has skills to burn and power too. Carl is the best lsc has faced, and if Carl doesnt tire in the second half of the fight it could be bad news for LSC.
And LSC is the best Frampton has ever faced, in fact LSC has a much better resume. Tell us how many rounds it took for LSC to beat Martinez?
True lsc did beat kiko quicker, but not necessarily easier than Carl. 126 was too big for kiko (he really is a 118 fighter). Carl is a bit bigger and wont be as lost at 126. Also past wars may have caught up with kiko. Also kiko obliged leo by fighting in a face-first no-defence kamikaze fashion. (Carl wont be so obliging).
I'm not convinced Carl hits that hard. I've rarely seen him land a body shot to trouble anyone and it's his timing that does the damage he's not that concussive a puncher. I worry about the second half of the fight for him I really see him trying to box negatively to a decision if he tries trading early and doesn't score a ko he will definatley gas in the second half of the fight. He needs an early lead. I still think he might nick a decision though
In his last few fights he seems to have lost a bit of power alright - but this could have been due to the opposition improving. Quiggs jaw didnt break by accident though - and Carl does have the 1-punch ko of Kiko in their first fight. He ko'd Cazares and battered Avalos too. Any outcome is possible in this one. Only a fool would be dogmatic about it. Very intriguing match-up.
