Comments Thread For: Carl Frampton Beats Leo Santa Cruz, Wins WBA Belt in a War

[Shadoww702]

As a boxing fan, I don't see how anyone thought Crawford-Postol was a ripoff. That wsd a masterful performance by a special fighter. There were no what-ifs following that.

Tonight was good. But I personally didn't see a SPECIAL l fighter in the ring tonight. I walk away thinking, no way in hell can either of these guya touch Rigo or Loma, who we know are special. Same with Thurman-Porter. I walked away thinking, Keith ain't even Kell Brook.

WOW!!! SMH...Even one of the BEST fights of the year happens and your hating...

Lee Selby beats Frampton, LSC, and any of these three guys will easily beat Gary Russell jr.

Selby barely got by Montiel, lol.

Frampton completely proved me wrong. I didn't think he could control the distance that well. He constantly beat Leo to the punch and used beautiful feints and body punching to set up his shots. Good stuff! I stopped scoring mid way through because the round were tough to score, but a Frampton win felt right

Worst robbery of all time. And Lameochicken moved up to 130 to avoid Santa Cruz, he's a coward.

Very good fkn fight. Hard to call although I would lean to Frampton if I had to pick. A draw seemed fitting though imo. Reason being, Carl landed the moresolid shots but Leo was the aggressor and landed and threw more. Neither had the other in any trouble at any point and many of the rounds could have been scored either way, really depends on your judging criteria. If you judge by clean effective punches landed than Carl wins but if you judge by aggression pushing the pace and punches landed than Leo wins. Leo threw more landed more and landed at a bigher percentage. His shots did not look as flashy but he landed a lot more of them. But on a round by round basis, im ok with Carl winning narrowly. 117 was not a good reflection of this fight at all though.

I honestly thought Leo took it by about a point or two. There was a lot of action and big punches he'd land inside (especially left hooks) that wouldn't be called. Frampton would sometimes land what looked like a big shot and the replays would show Leo would actually step away and only get grazed and counter. The fight was really close but in terms of effective punches it seemed about even to me but I thought Carl's legs would stiffen at times and showed a good poker face. There were times where his feet would literally not move and he'd just try to lean away and it seemed like he was hurt at times.

Again, either could have won but Leo did a lot more than he was given credit for. A lot more. I'm sure the crowd helped but that's how venues are and thats whats supposed to happen. I really thought Leo had a razor thin close fight or a draw. That Carl won isn't the issue but 9-3? :/

Showtime's commentary is usually excellent and mostly was again last night, but they were definitely biased towards Frampton. Leo would land 3 punch combos that went unmentioned and they'd react to a missed Frampton punch before or after. Leo's work inside would go unmentioned while they fawned over a single decent punch Frampton landed in the same sequence.

It was kind of weird.

This proves that Golovkin is the biggest coward in sports history.
