    And to hit the trifecta on my prediction the 3rd fight will hopefully take place in the UK.

    Can't wait for part 3. Respect Frampton's sportsmanship.

    I'm used to the judges putting in questionable cards - all that matters is that they contrived to get the correct result both times.

    Frampton was given a boxing lesson, and he was troubled on a couple of occasions by Cruz's right hand.

    I loved all the pre fight comments about Cruz supposedly being a one trick pony !!!

    I can't stand Frampton despite having him winning. But his post fight interview won me over. Never expected him to be so humble.

    Bring on the third fight.

    Thought the scorecards were spot on. Showtime commentators were brutal tonight in their pro-LSC stance.

    Rounds 4 & 5 the swing rounds, I thought - most of the other rounds were relatively clear. You could have it to Frampton by a round if you scored them to him, a draw if you scored them one each way and a win for LSC if you scored them to him.

    Would say you could probably have had it wider to LSC too - up to 116-112, probably.

    Those who picked Frampton to win a decision would have liked to at least see a draw to save a little face. Especially if they picked wrong on all three fights tonight. Right CST?

    Anyway - bring on the rubber match. These two just mesh so well.

    I wanted Frampton to win but I couldn't even say that was close, I thought LSC won fairly comfortably.

    Apparently LSC was 3 up on two judges scorecards going in to the last so Frampton did need the KO or at least a 10-7 round.

    It's easier to be classy in defeat when you've soundly been beaten.
