Thought Frampton won by 4 rounds....f the bullschiet.

Really wide scores, but I'm fine with the decision it was a close fight imo.

Stop getting carried away. Frampton showed a level tonight that I didn't thing he posessed. But let's be real. Put either of these guys in the ring with Rigondeaux or Lomanchenko and they'd get embarrassed. Put two better than average guys in the ring together, and they can usually put on an entertaining fight. Similar to Thurman-Porter. But let's not pretend this was elite level stuff we watched tonight. Just like Thurman-Porter wasn't elite level stuff.

So if they can't beat Rigondeaux or Lomachenko then they are just average and the fight wasn't good? How exactly do you ever enjoy boxing if that's the level you need to see to think a fighter is good?

Absolutely. Everybody seems to be circle jerking about the action and have completely lost sight of the fact that the morw fundamentally sound, better defensive fighter won the fight. And thoae were the reasons why.

Agreed but u got to realize even tho Santa Cruz lost there was no loser tonight both fighters stocks sky rocketed

huh i missed it

I bet Danny Garcia will get robbed next. Al Haymon doesn't want to pay his non-black fighters big bucks anymore. He wants to save the money for his favorite hoodrat hoochies like Spence, Wilder, and Jacobs.

Al Haymon is a very honest man. most promoters would have had the fight rigged for their star fighter to win. A fight this close, the decision could have easily gone to LSC and the fans would have accepted it. Bob Arum did the ultimate robbery with Bradley Pac and Golden boy has all the judges bought out for every Canelo fight. Al Haymon goes around buying out the Judges for Danny Garcia but you let LSC, you're prized possesion who name his son after you take an L with a fight this close? SMH

i honestly think the reason is because Al Haymon needs to find a reason to stop paying LSC 1 million+ paydays.

Wow! It is amazing how every PBC fight, no matter how good or how bad it is, becomes an indictment of Al Haymon on this message board.

I always wondered if judges are picked out like jury??? With the BEST promoters being able to read them like a book. And saying pass...

wins over Leo Santa Cruz & Scott Quigg, Now he just need the win over Lee Selby in the fall for fighter of the year 2016

[Shadoww702]

End of the day I thought BOTH fighters deserved the win. And KNOW casual fans will jump ship and call the loser a BUM because he lost....
