Leo Santa Cruz vs Frampton/Quigg

Haha Im a big fan of Quigg, dont rate Frampton much... But Santa Cruz kills both of them by the 7th.

 

i'd say they're both 50/50 fights.

Cruz has never fought anyone as good, skilled or as fresh as these two. both are stronger and harder hitting as well.

Quigg wouldn't let Cruz come forward as much because he's real sharp in there. he'd keep it on the outside. Cruz couldn't afford to be reckless otherwise he'll pay for it with hard accurate counters.

where Frampton is concerned, Cruz has shown that he can fight against movers but, as i say, he's never fought against one as strong, fresh or as good of a boxer as Frampton is. Carl could definitely make sure that Cruz doesn't get set enough to do damage whilst busting Cruz up himself and wearing him down for a late finish.

i could see either side winning.

lets hope these fights take place and they're not left for us to wonder.

anyone who thinks it's easy either way doesn't know what they are talking about.

 

congratulations, you don't know what you're talking about. :good

i'm a big fan of Leo, but i'm being realistic here. Santa Cruz doesn't get through mid level fighters until later in the fight, and that was at a lower weight. the others were all faded.

he's never been in with ANYONE as good as these two. they're fresh as well. they're far more skilled than Leo too.

don't go putting your eggs into one basket just yet. you'll end up with egg on your face. :deal

 

I think frampton beats them both and i'm very impressed with him.

 

Santa cruz is a all action fighter and he gets hit too much with his careless defense. If santa cruz were to face frampton or quigg he better work on that defense, because they are great body-punchers also.

 

i'd go with Quigg in that fight. he'll not follow Frampton around the ring, he'll instead step to him or take centre ring and force Frampton to stand his ground a bit more taking taking away one of Carl's main strengths. the sharpness of Quigg on the counter will be too good for a fighter that doesn't really fight on the front foot.

the only question mark for me is Quiggs chin. he's been down from shots that weren't even hard. he wasn't badly hurt or anything and gathered himself straight away, but it is a worry. Frampton has proven to have a solid beard so i have no worries there. Quigg punches the harder of the two as well.

yeah, my pick would be Quigg.

 

Isn't Santa Cruz facing Victor Tesla or whatever his name is? I heard he was facing the guy who beat Mijares and Montiel.

I don't know anything about Quigg, but from what I've seen so far Frampton is spectacularly good. Although Santa Cruz impressed me against Vusi Malinga and Morel, his last fight was uninspiring. Maybe it was a matter of burning out a little from fighting to often, but if that wasn't the case he definitely has some things to correct in his game.

 

the thread is just asking what you think IF the fights were to be made. he's still fighting Terrazas next.

 

Watch him carefully, he doesn't take as many shots as one would think and what he takes he rides wonderfully.

Leo stops both, probably in the later rounds.

 

If Santa Crus is anywhere as good as Margarito in (toughness and chin). Then squigg may

not have a pleasant evening. It might come down to WAR of attrition the one with will and heart wins.

 

Quigg doesn't stand a chance against Frampton. That is a very easy fight for Frampton and would end early. Quigg is another Brit being over-rated by the Brits.

 

doesn't stand a chance? :nut

i don't pick winners based off their nationality, that would be silly and serves no purpose. but it looks as though you're doing just that. to say he doesn't stand a chance is just coming out with a thoughtless opinion. there is nothing behind it.

i'm not saying a Quigg win is a forgone conclusion, Frampton is very much in with a chance because he has the goods. but when analyzing their styles, Quigg does look to be the one in the front seat. he'd have to work for it, it wouldn't come easy. but what you're saying is plain stupid. take off those glasses.

Frampton's main strength is moving off the back foot and having fighters walk into counters. Quigg WOULDN'T be following Carl around. he'd slow the pace and force Carl to to be a lot more stationary than he likes. 1-0 to Quigg. Carl then has to get his shots off against someone much sharper on the counter and harder hitting. Quigg will be able to fight his style, Frampton wouldn't be allowed to fight his.

i'd pick Quigg to win if they ever get it on but i wouldn't say it would be easy. to say Frampton wins with ease though is just madness. you better hope and pray that they don't fight, because if you think it's going to be a walk over, you're in for a rude awakening. very rude. :deal
