Good for Carl if he does but I'm expecting another close, tough fight. He can get Leo's respect but I think he'll find it hard to stop Leo coming altogether. Big fights waiting for both guys after. Russell and Valdez are good matches for both of them.

Good luck with that one buddy. Santa Cruz is having the best training camp of his career right now!

History has shown time,and time again that the counter-puncher/more pure boxer, always has an easier time in the rematch.

Of course you never know what's going to happen. Cruz isn't exactly one-dimensional - as he's shown he can box off the back-foot behind a nice, crisp jab.

The key here, I believe, is footwork, and foot speed - Cruz is just too stiff, and doesn't have the dexterity, and fluidity that Frampton has on his feet - enabling Frampton to close the distance, get off his combinations, and then pivot back out of range, or either step in and get in his chest and tie him up.

Yup! He's not site seeing and spending time with his dad this time instead of training like last time. He also wanted to cancel the fight last time because of his dads condition... Leo by UD.

Cruz also didn't use his size and reach at all last time. Doubt he makes those mistakes again.
