      I voted Frampton. He moves better than Santa Cruz which will be the difference, imo.

        I can't see how it will be much different to the first fight, apart from the possibility of Frampton trying to engage less and box more. I don't think Santa Cruz can do anything different. If he tries even harder to apply pressure he will probably make mistakes and make it even easier for Frampton, and he can't try to box more because Frampton is the more adept boxer.

        I think Santa Cruz just has to do more of the same and hope Frampton isn't as good in the second fight. I believe Frampton could win it wider, but Santa Cruz would have to rely on getting a close decision, which is also very possible.

        The only way i see it being massively different is if someone gets caught and hurt, but that goes for any fight. Aside from that, i can't see how massively different it could be, but who knows...

          A fight like this tends to favor Frampton's style. Don't count out Leo, though.

          So glad these two are fighting an immediate rematch.

            leo decision

            i expect leo to let frampton initiate the exchanges more and counter. also expect him to pivot more.

                  That's the plan, and NSB will believe he's won on work rate. Apparently that's how you score fights on here !

                    The more Cruz engages the more he misses, quite simple really. Frampton is superior in every aspect regarding boxing talent and skill, the only concern last time was the height and reach and Frampton negated then beautifully.

                    The only guy hurt last out was Cruz if he opens up more he's caught more. I wouldn't rule out a Frampton stoppage this time but I expect a wider points win though the last one was convincing enough not to warrant a rematch.

                      That's true. Santa Cruz mentioned Frampton's very good punching power in an interview recently. I think a lot of people forget that he can ****. He did hurt Santa Cruz and also broke Quigg's jaw in the previous fight.
