    It was a helluva fight. Cruz is an absolute warrior and he reminded me of Bowe in the way he never allowed Frampton have a free shot. He retaliated instantly upon getting hit and that took the shine off Framptons work.

    He gritted his teeth and fought harder for the win. But so did Frampton and thats why is was such a good fight.

    Don't think the rubber match will be fought in Belfast. Carl will have to travel again if he wants another go.

    I had the first fight wide for Frampton, a lot of what Santa Cruz is throwing is being slipped by Carl, who has beautiful and underrated defense.

    We simply disagree on both fights, everyone agrees with you on the first, everyone agrees with me on the second.

    LSC 8, Frampton 4

    As usual, I can't believe those scumbag British commentators. They were like "Santa Cruz is up by um... one. I've got a lot of even rounds here."

    Can you believe all the assholes around here who were putting Frampton in the top 10 p4p?

    I'm absolutely sick of seeing fights with rounds that are so hard to score.
    Mikey has probably replaced Frampton on P4P.

    Oh ****, of course it was one of the judges from Ward/Kovalev who scored the fight even.

    Regardless of how we all scored the first 24 rounds ... we all want a third fight, yes?

    The rubber match will be controversial too, with one judge scoring it a draw - but it'll be one of the best fights of the year.
