Is Frampton making a mistake by taking the Santa Cruz rematch in the Las Vegas cesspit?

    We know if the first fight would've took place in Vegas the home fighter (Santa Cruz being a Haymon pet) would've gotten the benefit of the doubt on any close rounds. Doug Fischer pointed this out too:

    "I strongly favored Carl Frampton to once again outbox and outclass Leo Santa Cruz in their January rematch, but now I’m concerned about Frampton’s chances due to the return bout taking place in Las Vegas. I have an awful feeling that the Powers That Be are going to steal back that WBA featherweight title."

    He's in trouble unless it's 9-3.
    I scored Kovalev - Ward 8-4 for Kovalev and it wasn't enough, that's why I say 9-3 is needed.

    In that case Santa Cruz is going to have to taste the canvas too.

    Okay. I had to google "cest pit" to see if it was some arcane British phrase.

    No.... If he won in New York, he can win in Vegas.

    I thought Santa Cruz would win fight 1 but The Jackal won a hard fought good fight Looking forward to the rematch

    Santa is going to get his own Christmas present in Vegas if he can keep it even remotely close. Belts that happen to enter Vegas, stay in Vegas... Frampton is not going to leave with his belt.

    I think he'll be OK personally, don't think his nationality is going to hamper him or anything like that. He'll win again and perhaps a little more clearly imo

    nah he will be fine with the new age scoring with the well received 10 10 system in play
    I expect to see a damn sight more of it from here on in

    I hope not,I thought Frampton v Cruz was one of the best fights of the year,I expect the Jackal to be even better and going off last weeks scoring he will have to be

    i think frampton would sell better in vegas anyway in the long run, however it will be a good test.
    i honestly thought cruz would whip him the first fight but i was pleasently surpriced
