Carl "The Jackal" Frampton vs. "El Terremoto" Leo Santa Cruz & Undercards RbR

[SouthPawHitman]

LSC likes the mid-range and enjoys combination punching. LSC will do what he always does: punches in bunches with a decent jab and nice body-work. It's up to Frampton to make LSC think twice.

Do you remember Douglas/Khurtsidze? It's possible that Frampton can turn LSC's reach advantage into a disadvantage if he applies the right strategy.

Yeah but Douglas only had a 1 inch reach advantage tho

Now wo bs i give mine
Leo is a mexican style pressure+volume puncher, that means if you have no defense and countering skills he will win. Frampton is a technician, has both defense and countering skills but got hit by big shots vs Quigg. Definitely Leo will land some big shots on him but Frampton has also power and will hurt Leo if not as much as he gets hurt. If Leo hurts him bad he might have a little chance of W 115. If he can't land some wobbling shots Frampton easily out-boxes him.
Frampton W 117.

Lets rate them

Power - Frampton 7.5/10 - Cruz 9/10
Speed - Frampton 9/10 - Cruz 9/10
Skills - Frampton 10/10 - Cruz 9/10
Chin - Frampton 7/10 - Cruz 10/10

This is very off.

Frampton has more power in his punches and how is there such a difference between chins? Frampton has never been wobbled. Two balance shots against Gonzales mean nothing. Same as the knockdown that should've been given when Cruz went down v Kiko.

I like all your awesome reasons...

he wins because hes bigger, tougher and has a greater work rate. The jackets not going to be able to do deal with the volume of punches coming his way

Frampton said this was the easiest time he has had in 6 years making weight. I think he'll be a lot stronger than LSC thinks he will be. When Frampton catches him, LSC will be forced to think before he throws or he will get dropped.

I'm only judging by the height difference. Did they mention their reaches on the telecast? cuz BoxRec

LSC likes the mid-range and doesn't mind fighting on the inside. If Frampton has worked on his inside game, than this will be an entertaining fight. If not, he might resort to excessive movement which would be a mistake.

yeah lets hope its a good fight, i'll be cheering on frampton anyway

just think hes going to struggle with the pressure that santa cruz brings. Was starting to struggle in second half of the quigg fight when he ramped up the pressure and volume

I'm going Frampton on points. I think he's the better all round boxer and will edge it in a close fight. Leo has to outwork him but i think this will leave him open to framptons fast counters.
