Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz-Carl Frampton - Examining The Scorecards

That 117-111 just doesn't sit right. It was like, if the round was going to be close, Frampton was going to get the nod. Shouldn't that advantage be placed on the champion instead?

EXACTLY!!! And Frampton after the fight looked way more busted up!!!

I don't have a problem with any of those score cards. People are under impression that just because the fight was close it means that the scores must be close. That's not how it is. The fight can be EXTREMELY close, but if one guy wins every round by a thin margin, then the scores will reflect a wide decision.

Judging close fights is damn hard for the judges. As long as the scores aren't outrageous, and the right man won, I'm not gonna b1tch about them. It's not like this was CJ Ross scoring Canelo/Floyd.

I thought a draw, or 7-5 LSC. It's hard though, because LSC would get hit hard, even rocked in Rd 2, then he would come back late in the round, but I wasn't sure if he did enough to erase the "memorable" shots! Frampton had good ring generalship, and LSC was coming forward! REMATCH... in 2017! LSC is going to have to go to Ireland, but they'll love him because of is fight-friendly style! CLASSIC!
