Comments Thread For: Frampton: I Hope Puerto Ricans Support Me Against Santa Cruz!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

CARL FRAMPTON will avoid the New York sun to make sure his career continues to shine. The unbeaten Belfast fighter is moving up to featherweight to take on WBA champion Leo Santa Cruz in the US city on July 30. Frampton, 29, jetted out to America yesterday to finish off preparations and acclimatize to the time zone ahead of the summer super fight.

I'm rooting for LSC by KO! It's a rivalry when PR vs Mexico are in a boxing ring only. Stop promoting hate "who don't like Mex". This isn't Brexit. Look how that is going. SMH.

I'm purtorican and iam rooting for leo

This guy is not too bright! I'm MexiCAN and root for Trinidad, Cotto, and now Felix...As long as they're not boxing Mexican fighters of course. Mexicans fighters vs. Puerto Ricans is more than just two boxers. It's a HUGE rivalry but with Honor and dignity. When the fight is over we always congratulate he other and root for each other. PR's have HEART and a LOT of PRIDE!!

Even if the whole audience roots for him, he is still gonna get a beating and after that, the shame of ireland is done, cant stay at 126 and cant go down to 122, bye bye.

Thats the think this pendejo Frampton doesn't understand. 95% of the time Latinos will root for the latino UNLESS they are going up against a countryman then they will obviously root for the countryman. I have no doubt most of the Puerto Ricans, dominicans, etc will root for Leo. Frampton this isn't Ireland vs Northern Island. Keep your hatred to yourself.

I know when my parents and uncles see a Spanish last name, that is the guy they go for and that is how it is for most Latinos.

...me too...can't hate in the boxing game...it's all about respect, and I think Santa Cruz is going to beat that ass!!!

It's pretty simple Frampton. What gym are using in NYC? Who are your sparring partners? That's the best way to appease New Yorkers, which includes Puerto Ricans! Embrace the community, "break bread" with them, and they'll love you back!

I'm Puerto Rican and I'm rooting for Frampton but not because Leo is Mexican. It's because Leo has spent yrs ducking his most meaningful challenge in rigo and has instead fought several low level opponents. I miss the days when Mexicans like Erik morales and Barrera fought all comers, including each other.

It is an even fight but LSC is more known and is Latino. I doubt the crowd is going to go against him
