    It really is a fascinating fight.

    A few years ago, I fancied Frampton strongly but through time I have started to lean more towards LSC. His size and pressure could be the telling factors.

    It's really close to call and i'll be having a punt on Frampton by decision as the odds are really good.

    I've got to go with my gut feeling and that's Frampton on points (SD), in a close back-and-forth fight.

    Frampton is going to have to get everything spot on to win. He will have to be tough and he will need luck. To get the win from the judges he probably needs to visibly hurt LSC at times throughout the fight. If he doesn't hurt LSC it is likely that close rounds will go to Santa Cruz.....his high-workrate style is very "judge-friendly" and no one can match him for punch output. Fair dues to Carl for going over there and taking this guy on.
    All in all its a very big ask. But Frampton is due a star quality performance, and this just might be one of those nights...here's hoping!
    Carl will have to get his jab going like a piston ftom the start. His footwork and timing and accuracy will have to be razor sharp. He will have to be a bit rough even dirty on the inside with plenty of clubbing rights round the back of the head to rattle and unsettle Leo. To get Leo's respect and catch the judges eye he will have to be hitting harder than ever before, and will need to visibly hurt Leo more than once, probably multiple times throughout the fight.


    Also of course luck plays a major part....avoiding injuries like a hurt hand or a cut eye....having judges who like what he is doing in there so he gets credit for his work etc. A big ask, but Carl just might be mentally and physically tough enough to pull it off.

    The ring looks huge....wonder if that will help or hinder Carl?

    If he's in a position later on when he's ahead, probably help him as give him more room to just move around and use his good footwork.

    Hope he wins, if LSC comes at him, I honestly think he is going to miss a lot and get tagged often as the fight progresses. You can have the best engine in the game, but missing and being hit take a lot out of you.

    Fcuking great performance so far from Carl - he's proving me wrong but it's the late rounds I'm worried about - come on Jackall
