    Good stuff. The first somehow didn't excite me like I was expecting. Maybe because Leo was sleeping a bit or because they couldn't hurt each other. Probably my expectations were too high. Still looking forward to the rematch though. Both are very good fighters.
    To me some of the best fights/rivalries are when both fighters have good enough chins, defensive instincts, and not quite enough power to take each other out, but have enough to hurt the other guy, and generally keep each other honest.

    Past example is Barrera-Morales trilogy.

    Santa Cruz - Frampton seems to have a similar balance, albeit not quite at that kind of level.

    I would like to see Frampton box more this time, and war less. I want to see if Santa Cruz has an answer for it.

              Hopefully Leo is more focused this time around and not distracted like he was last fight with his fathers illness. Could become a trilogy if Leo wins this fight.

                All for a rematch, first match was great, where will the fight take place though, hopefully Staples Center Los Angeles! Mexican Fans and Irish Fans together would make for just an incredible boxing atmosphere

                      Looks like Garcia vs. Zlaticanin will be on the undercard.

                      Now that's a card.
