Fu.ck.

Leo is elite fighter.

Very good work with his jab and boxing IQ.

Santa Cruz is a rare boxer.

Santa Cruz defense is very underrated

He only took 135 punches from a good fighter like Frampton.

This fight was Leo's masterpiece. I was shocked. I did not think he could find a way to beat Frampton.

I was shocked that a lot of people were picking Frampton. I actually thought that Leo would take in a much closer fight. Leo was great Saturday night and fought much better. Frampton should have been favourite but Leo definitely overlooked.

Leo wins the trilogy. The 1st fight he wasn't ready he wasn't using his reach advantage and came on way too late but still was able to have success and lose a close decision. Had he woken up a few rounds sooner he could have possible got the w. As long as he continues to use his reach to his advantage and not get drawn into a brawl too frequently he'll win again and maybe by a slightly larger margin. The taller longer fighter with at least b+ defense and good counter punching skills 9/10 beats the guy coming forward.

I agree with you. Unless Frampton does something special now I don't see how he can beat Leo.
