surprising bt/box nation didn't get this. I already have BT so was expecting these kinds of fights to be on the bt side of things!
Good work Adam Smith, for doing the deal but also letting Eddie take credit for this in an upcoming IFL interview
BN already committed to another card on that night - It didnt bother me personally who got it as I have both channels
Credit to Sky for picking this up. CF to make it look easier this time out, or people expecting a reversal?
i think Frampton easier, don't see a lot else Santa Cruz can do within his game, but Frampton can still take it up a gear imo
Lsc needs to throw more this time. His output just wasnt his usual m.o I know it can be said that it was carl that cramped his style and that is probably correct but if lsc lets carl dull his pace again then its going to turn out exactly as the 1st fight
His output was exactly as normal for him ...1100 or so punches thrown...it's the QUALITY he needs to improve, not the quantity .....
I expect an improved Frampton with more time at his new weight. He is looking great on the pads with Shane recently. Looking forward to the fight
Iirc it was 1000 and lsc landex more than frampton. Lsc usualy throws 100 per rd. Thats the stats i remember anyway but apart from that, i watched the fight and lsc just didnt seem to throw his usual output to me
The reasons it seemed to you he threw less than usual are: 1. Everything is relative. Normally you are used to seeing LSC totally out working his 'victims', out punching them 2-1, 3-1 physically dominating them etc etc - that didn't happen here. 2. Normally LSC is coming forward all the time, with Frampton forcing him back for much of the fight lscs work looked less effective than you are used to seeing.
Y Ye maybe.. Ive just read elsewhere that selby v barros is chief support for this, thats great news. Obviously they will be looking to make frampton v selby if they both come thru
