Léo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton & Miguel Ángel García vs. Elio Rojas RBR

Don't think we'll see a rematch, personally.

 

deal

 

Look at the punch stats.. Leo clearly threw more punches and landed almost just as much. He out worked Frampton in many rounds and fought a great fight on the inside. The only reason why I said what I said was because people were trying to claim this wasn't a close fight. Punches landed were close and Leo had the higher punch volume, based off that I think you can make a case to sway certain close rounds to Leo's favor imo.

 

LSC will bounce back though, I think against Selby or GRJ he could do it.

 

i was scoring it in my head round by round, i didn't write them down on paper, i had leo winning by two rounds...

 

I mean look at Floyd-Maidana. People actually had Maidana winning that fight based off of higher punch output. Now put Frampton in Floyd's shoes and LSC in Maidana, why can't these same people who thought Maidana won make a case for LSC?

The scorecards are right in line with where you would expect them to be. Judges seeing the close rounds differently, but largely agreeing on the core rounds Frampton built.

 

Yeah but you don't outwork someone unless you actually land more, outworking the way I see it is landing at a significantly higher number than your opponnent but at the cost of things like power or how well the shots connect.

It's not just throwing punches at air. Otherwise GRJ would have 12-0'd Loma.

 

It was razor close imo

 

I'd like to see Frampton Vs Valdez, can't see it happening any time soon but that's another great potential fight.

 

Nah, no robbery. But imo not a very clear cut victory. The UK people will celebrate this as some dominating win, but it was far from that. I hope there's a rematch.

 

Leo also landed a ton are arm punches and shots that grazed the top of Frampton's head as he ducked the punches which compubox counted. Majority of the inside exchanges Frampton came out on top.

 

OR if it's REALLY close in terms of every criteria (quality of shots, # landed etc) then you can make a case that perhaps working harder should be merited though that's not part of the official criteria as far as I know and people often disagree with me on this.
