    Who are you picking? I slightly favor Santa Cruz.

    Been going back and forth on this but I just think LSC outworks Carl for a decision

    Frampton by SD, although not with any confidence.

    Such a tough one to call to im leaning towards a Frampton decision.

    Yeah I'm thinking the same, Leo isn't just some mindless volume puncher that I thought he was 2 years ago.

    I'm quite confident that Frampton will do the job.

    He never became the man at SBW but LSC has never been the man at any weight.

    Both have 1 really quality victory in Mares and Quigg. After that it's fairly slim pickings.

    I was gutted Frampton didn't take on Rigo as it was a win win for him.

    But if he beats LSC and then unifies with Selby we'll see a genuine FW champion for the first time since Garcia left the division.

    Picking Frampton but Santa Cruz has proven me to be way off on his boxing abilities and I really wouldn't be surprised if he takes this.

    If Frampton fades after 6 like he did vs Quigg there's absolutely no way he decisions LSC. If he goes full 12 rounds, he should be able to pull it off as he's the better boxer.

    I fear Framps will fall victim of judges favouring aggression over effectiveness.

    Frampton is one of my favs, so I will be 100% for him. Not that confident though. LSC is class.

    Frampton's gotta be better here than when he was against Scott.

    LSC will stop him late. It will be a good fight doe! And then Garcia-Rojas is going to be very interesting as well, great card top to bottom!

    LSC either gets a late stoppage or wins a unanimous decision.
