Leo should bring robert garcia in the corner for some advice...... His dad and brother might not have the best game plan

. His dad and brother might not have the best game plan

Yea, I think the gameplan was all-wrong in the last fight. In fact, it was the opposite of what I felt he should have done. Trying to box w/ Frampton in the first few rounds allowed Carl in the fight and ensured that Santa was already worn down a little by the time he was ready to shift into his usual pressure-pressure-pressure mode of operation.
I think Santa needs to focus on relentless volume if he wants to win this. Carl is going to have the better boxing and footwork, there's no way around that. Leo needs to embrace his greatest strength.

Can't wait for this. Two very good closely matched fighters. Frampton by late stoppage.

relentless volume? he threw a 1000 punches last time so thats exactly what he did last time.... he has extremely long arms and he needs to jab from the 1st round to the 12th round... if he doesnt jab and keep frampton on the outside he will lose guaranteed... every punch he throws needs to be set up by his long ass jab.... thats his biggest advantage

As I said, he tried to box with him in the first few rounds, then ramped it up in the last half. If you don't believe me, you can look up the punch stats.

The problem this created was that, by not pouring it on early, Frampton stayed fairly fresh and never broke. Like I said even before the first fight, Leo has an asset in the reach but he will have to start wearing Carl down early. He's got the gas tank to outlast him, but that only works if you start early.

Robert Garcia's a better Coach than he is Corner man .

[JJRod]

This time LSC needs to quit trying to box. He's no boxer. He needs to brawl from the first round. Make Frampton uncomfortable.
If I recall the 1st fight that is when he had the most successful.

Hi
Dude i didn't wanna go there . But Robert Garcia's an average corner man ( really good coach ) but average corner man. Wish I remembered which one but in a fight he actually told his fighter " I don't know , u gotta do something " ... Thanks Coach
