BARRY MCGUIGAN has called on Leo Santa Cruz to keep his promise by travelling to Belfast for another clash with Carl Frampton. The Mexico-born fighter avenged his July defeat by the Northern Irishman to win back the WBA featherweight title on Saturday. Click Here To Read More]
Frampton/Selby Santa Cruz/Mares or Russell daylight double header with the winners fighting would be raw.Even if they didn't both win,the trilogy would still happen no later than early 2018 but they could max out their earning potential
I'm in the minority, it seems, because I'd like to see the rubber match in July in Belfast. I think it would be great for the sport, to showcase the professional rivalry between these 2 fighters. It would garner a lot of attention in the media, etc. It would just REALLY suck if the decider was scored as a draw, haha
Out of interest, has there ever been 3 consecutive fights between 2 boxers? I can't think of any?
As I've stated in another thread, I'd rather Carl fight Lee Selby first to take his title while Santa Cruz takes the belt from Gary Russell Jr. Then these two can do the trilogy fight which would also be a unification in the fall.
That's the better option, makes the fight more interesting if it's a unification
Lmao you trying to ruin the trilogy. I think LSC loses both fights. Maybe has a chance at Russel if he uses his reach on the outside.I'm not trying to ruin the trilogy. Ali and Frazier didn't fight 3 straight! Pac and JMM didn't fight 3 straight times. I don't think Gatti and Ward fought 3 straight times, nor Vasquez and Marquez. Just because you don't fight 3 consecutive fights, don't mean the Trilogy is over!
I think Frampton should go ahead and fight Selby first, and LSC should fight Gary Russell Jr. or Rigo, and then the winners meet in December! If both LSC and Frampton are winners, then LSC should take that trip to Ireland! That's the right thing to do!
I think Russell and Rigo beat both of them. Santa Cruz and Frampton will stay away...
