    I give Frampton a lot of credit here. He won the fight and I have no problem with it. I'm just trying to make a case for a closer fight, maybe even a LSC win. It was that close and a lot of people agree. And nobody on here is a professional judge so don't get your panties in a twist when someone disagrees with your assessment of the fight.

    I'm not a Frampton guy, I thought Santa Cruz would stop him. That being said, Frampton showed better than his last few outings. He stunk it up against Quigg, and also in his PBC debut. He was better tonight, and I thought he landed more of the quality punches. Santa Cruz threw a lot, but didn't land much from what my eyes saw. The punch stats were atrocious for this fight. Frampton's face didn't support that he had gotten hit as much as the punch stats said. I'd of liked to see more in terms of accuracy from both as well, the replays between rounds were comical in that there was little landing.

    Theyre paid to do this. We're just fans and spectators of the sport. That's the difference. And we disagree on the scores which is my other point of the post you just quoted.

    Being a professional judge doesn't mean you are a good judge. It doesn't take much to become one.

    Giving Santa Cruz the benefit of the doubt, I had it as close as a draw. I could also see Frampton winning comfortably, it all depends on how you score rounds. I gave Frampton the benefit of being the bigger puncher, as he staggered Santa Cruz once or twice. So I preferred his shots over LSC's mostly pity pat, that wasn't landing.

    Very close fight. Frampton won the 1rst half, Leo won the 2nd half. The crowd definitely influenced the 2 judges that had it for Frampton. 114-114 was fair. Frampton needs to give LSC a rematch, but he'll never give him one in L.A.

    I have no problem with that, I just don't think Frampton dominated as many posters think he did.

    Well I mean you do have to go to school to become a professional judge for boxing, so it does take more than what you think. Just saying

    And why the hell would he rematch him in la? Frampton is the champ now lol. The crowd had zero to do with it if you are honest with yourself. Santa Cruz mentioned the crowd but to be fair he was a little shell shocked. He hasn't seen a crows until he comes to Belfast. Lol ps enough of this Irish British thing on here. Get the **** over it and enjoy frampton for the gentleman and fighter he is.

    He definitely didn't dominate. It was a competitive fight. Most rounds were close.

    7 rounds of the 12 were scored identically by all 3 judges. Frampton won 5 of them. It was a good competitive fight, but it was a clear Frampton win.

    Frampton doesn't have to give him sh!t. Frampton landed the quality punches of the fight, while not being hit with as much quality in return. Look at his face post fight, minor damage. Definitely not the damage equated with the bogus punch state of Santa Cruz hitting him 250 times
