    Tell that to LSC the first fight. Frampton was a classy loser period, and you don't see that in boxing much.

    LSC was so impressive and able to change his style, fighters just dont do that. will not diss LSC again. and bonus he didnt have that stupid grin on his face. great fight champ.

    Well done to Leo but Carl was so stale. Shane was awful in the corner! after one of framptons best rounds, 8 or 9 I think, McGuigan totally deflated him by telling him that he had lost the round and needed to step back. Not enough work. Santa Cruz didnt actually have to do too much to win (even though he kept his game plan brilliantly)

    Santa Cruz never was soundly beaten. Reading comprehension, pal.

    Oliver and Nelson slating the clueless McGuigan, and rightly so.

    Am I not a true boxing fan if I want the trilogy to be a draw? Frampton and LSC are such likeable guys, I couldn't root for either, and seeing one lose sucks to me.

    Such class from both guys,so used to boxers talking crap after the result doesn't go their way but Frampton and his trainer were refreshingly honest in there,great job from both warriors tonight.

    Frampton beat Cruz clearer in their 1st fight than Cruz did in the 2nd "pal".

    I picked Frampton but because I thought he would be able to replicate his gameplan again.

    The fight was very close imo.

    Good cards.

    Frampton needed Ward's judges if he wanted the W in this one

    Hardly a boxing lesson, was a razor close fight but the right man won on the night.

    Frampton won 7, 8 and 12.

    This was not a close fight, i have no idea what some people were watching.

    Cruz threw and landed more shots.

    Cruz slipped more punches.

    Cruz landed the heavier shots.
