Santa Cruz:
1) He has a good chin.
2) Decent defense, but not hard to penetrate through.
3) Offense is very versatile, but when you go for 6 punch combos you also open up for the other guy to counter you.
4) His power is nothing to worry about at this weight.
Things that stand out are superior cardio and volume punching, but has he fought someone talented enough to counter and make him pay and perhaps adjust and fight different? 2 weight champ btw.
Carl Frampton:
1) Good chin.
2) His defense is a lot better than Cruz because it is not basic hands up style so he can slip as well as block.
3) Leo may throw in a huge volume, but Carl is more economical in his approach.
4) Frampton has one punch KO power. It is not like Randal Bailey, but is better than that of Cruz.
5) This is where imo it gets interesting, I believe Frampton has great counter punching ability as seen especially against Cazares and Martinez 1.
Cruz loves to throw many punches and I think Frampton will be able to time him. I definitely believe Frampton stops Cruz, no doubt.
Frampton is simply an overall complete/skilled fighter, can cut the ring, be aggressive and put pressure OR box on back foot while trying to counter. His upcoming defense will be a showcase performance of him as a World Champion.
