Santa cruz held up by ropes in second round

"if you grab onto the ropes to avoid a knockdown is a count"

WHat kind of idiot troll watches the fight three times in a row and still doesn't score the KD for Frampton on their own card? Then creates a thread about how cruz was robbed. You are a ****ing joke creating BS threads. DO you just lie?

[Weebler I]

Clear knockdown and hurt cruz badly just shows frampton isnt as good as people make out though,had it been counted as a kd cruz would have had more time to recovering,frampton couldnt finish a guy on jelly legs with no time to recover,it doesnt make him better in my eyes only worse

lol what kind of twisted logic is this?

[M Bison]

I dunno If you can say it was a knock down say he was going to go down and he grabbed hold of Frampton would that be scored a KD?
I've gotta call it fair I think Frampton clearly won though.

good point...should have been a 10-8 round

The ropes kept him up for sure.

Slightly off topic, but i only just came across the Ring website predictions for this fight.
Out of the 27 experts asked, 22 picked Santa Cruz and only 5 picked Frampton. That's a wide margin !

[Chrismart]

Not 'experts' then really. Pretty much all the guys here that know boxing pretty well had Frampton in this fight. I remember the 'expert' polls being even worse for Garcia vs Khan, and Garcia vs Matthysse.

Matthysse Garcia:

Can't find the Khan one.

Yep i favoured Frampton also, i was surprised at the odds you could get on him at the bookies.

The picks for Brook Vs Porter were poor also. I just rechecked the ring website. Out of the 21 asked, it read 21 picks for Porter and 0 for Brook.
