    A draw isn't neutral when there's a championship on the line. Gotta beat the champion and that's Santa Cruz now.

    It may very well have been PR coaching for all we know.

    Santa Cruz needs to man the **** up and fight Rigo.

    Average scorecard is 115-113 on Fightscore app. Definitely in the minority if you didn't see it close on the scorecards.

    The only thing to dislike about Frampton is his appalling lack of CCA and taste in ring attire. And I think that really came back to bite him in the ass tonight. To be fair to LSC he let himself and his people down tonight with his taste in ring attire too. Granted it wasn't as bad as luminous yellow shoelaces and purple gloves but it was still pretty disgraceful. His shorts looked like a drunk vegan had thrown up on a matador's cape.

    Wow how awesome you are, you picked the Haymon guy in a match that was 50/50, just like the first one, that's sole purpose for happening was to set up a trilogy, how brave of you.

    I picked the only upset of the night on the other card. So eat a dick.

    I'm sure the guys with the usernames Eduardo, RBlancoJr, Gueda, Burdisso, Pucho and LSC who scored the fight with it were all from Belfast.

    I guess those who picked Frampton to win convinced themselves it was a close fight.

    First fight was close and Frampton got the nod, this wasn't a close fight.

    Standing back posturing and/or rushing forward head first and punching air doesn't win rounds.

    Cruz was measured and composed, worked behind the jab brilliantly, countered brilliantly, landed the cleaner more telling shots, and finished nearly every close exchange with the final punch.

    I picked frampton to win because cruz whole career he has been a face first pressure fighter. He adapted improvised boxed and countered. very impressive because fighters just dont change like that. A butt head brawler never changes. LCS showed another dimension and is to be commended that was a great fight he fought.

    Shane McGuigan just did a bad job in the corner for Frampton. He was just demotivating Frampton lol.
