Official Leo Santa Cruz vs Carl Frampton thread!

Yeah that's right. His puny girlish jaw. Hopefully his bumfluffy little maxilla gets detached with it.

 

Frampton is too versitle for the 1 dimensional LSC

Will be a gd fight but Carlos is too classy

lets not forget LSC was the biggest fool in boxing until he faught a shot Mares, now people think hes some kinda p4p fighter in the making....

Frampton has great whiskers, onloy time hes been down was away from home in a hostile atmsphere, a night where paper champs would crumple, he dug deep and won the next 11 rounds in classey style. his double jab was beautiful that night....

he a true champ who has proved it, LSC not so much

 

Just bull****ting. Leo's a nice kid, but I do believe Framps will have his number.
His conditioning will need to be 100%, Leo is an athlete if nothing else, and he'll have to weather a storm at some point, probably early, but on skills alone he's a cut above.

 

Beaten the odds? how many times after his first title win has he been an underdog or in a compeitive fight? minis the Mares MD win

U cannot deny he has been ridiculed for much of his career for nvr fighting live opponents?

 

Surprised there isn't more hype for this fight.

 

Santa Cruz will break Frampton down and get a mid to late TKO stoppage 8-12.

Can't wait for this... Fan of both fighters.

 

I would not say Leo has pinpoint accuracy. His accuracy is fine, but pinpoint more accurately describes Frampton.

Both are great fighters and will have their hands full. I would give Leo the edge in experience, reach, work rate and chin. He's also probably the better brawler, but we will see.

Carl has accuracy, but won't be using it much on the end of Leo's jab. He's probably the better boxer, but needs a slower pace than the pace Leo is going to set here. There's no indication Carl has brought his power up to this weight. Plus Leo's chin is better than Kiko's or any other guy's Carl has faced.

Both are tough, have no quit in them and can make adjustments. So it will be a great fight. I expect a Leo UD unless he stops Carl sooner.

That's no disrespect to Carl. He has a great set of skills. Hopefully Carl keeps on fighting in the US after this one, and doesn't give up like that fat drunk Ricky Hatton. Carl could make money here and get the experience he needs to win back his titles. And we have lots of nice Mexican girls that would like a chaparrito like him....

 

What uk channel is it on?

 

Frampton is one of my favourites.

I'm going for The Jackal.
