    I think he will beat LSC worse in the rematch. Frampton is a bad styles match up for LSC.

    Even though I scored the fight for Kovalev close, I don't mind this. Andre Ward had been absent for a long time, and to get back into the frame at a higher weight as a major force was a good comeback regardless.

    Wider UD win. I don't think he can stop LSC if he did I'd be shocked.

    That's what I think too. CST is predicting the KO though, so I thought I would get your opinion.

    I would've said Frampton deserves it if he didn't duck Rigondeaux shamelessly - any excuse is a pathetic excuse. Rigo had his belt stolen from him. This whole system was validated with Frampton winning FOTY.

    VERY happy with Vargas-Salido being Fight of the Year! Deserved!

    Upset of the year should've been Corrales-Uchiyama 1.

    Yeah, hope you're right. Frampton is a bad match up for most because he is one of the most adaptable fighters operating today. Stood in the pocket with LSC. Boxed off the back foot against Quigg. And equally strong doing both. That said I rate LSC and if anyone can solve that puzzle it's him, through work rate and punch output more than anything. That said, I'm gonna bet on a late stoppage for The Jackal...

    Decent list. No obvious bias.

    He buzzed him pretty good a couple of times in the first fight. My gut instinct says UD but he wants the stoppage and it's not totally out of the question IMHO
