I guess a 3rd fight is needed..
very close fight again, brilliant fight
also i had it a draw, but leo by 2 i would have no problem what so ever with that..great judging on the tonight which must be pointed out...

on a side note, great interviews by both boxers, especially framton respecting gonzalez afterwards...

Belfast for the rubber match???? that would be crazy.
Shane mcguigan kind of showed his inexperience as a trainer in that fight also, he should no his fighter, and should of fired frampton up

Santa cruz was the better boxer tonight....counter punched and used his jab to build a lead i also felt frampton was reckless and not very accurate and instead of timing his shots tried to hard to land a bomb and was trying to hard to knock him out....LSC won by 2 or 3 rounds but he had the home advantage ....curious how he will cope fighting frampton in front of 30,000 frampton fans....Cruz deserved the fight no question

[HanzGruber]

no leo should fight mares in the summer at staples center and make another fat pay check....

Too many rematches. Want him to fight someone new.. then if he loses to mares do they have an immediate rematch? Lol

I didn't get the MD. I thought Leo won the fight comfortably.

[stephenmc]

Leo the greatest featherweight of all time, what a fighter. No rematch, this is over. Frampton came in chubbier looking for a KO win to avoid a controversial decision, but made him slower than he was in the first fight which was his advantage.

Don't be a fcking idiot haha
you clearly have more than a few drinks in you if you believe in what you said ha

Leo Santa Cruz was very impressive I thought I didn't think he could do that.

I wouldn't mind both fighting someone else before the rubber match. Now it's one each that fight is always there for them both.

[sammybee]

great fight....Leo vs Gary Russell unification.....Mares vs Leo will be fun to watch.

Frampton has Leo's number doe. fu(kn casuals.

[have_not]

Good fight by Santa Cruz, the size and reach advantage was a factor but Santa Cruz is the more complete fighter.

To bad both frampton and Santa Cruz went up in weight as soon as they heard Lomachenko left the division.
Lomachenko would have beaten both in the same night

I wouldn't mind seeing a third fight, obviously, but I really hope it's not next.
Take a break from each other IMO.

why? Unless there's some due mandatory, separating the two fighters isn't going to build the heat any better, tbh.

Let the fighters get a little bit of a rest, stage the third fight for June/July (honestly not sure where they'd stage the fight for the third time, but running it back in Las Vegas isn't that bad an idea; staging it at a stadium in Belfast would be utterly nuts, though), and watch both guys each take home a million dollars to their families.

Were they not to fight each other, where would each guy go? Mares is there, but there's no other fight that delivers either guy anywhere near the money that a third fight would.
