Carl Frampton v Leo Santa Cruz

[Master]

Looking forward to this one - but as with all of the US fights, it'll be a challenge to stay sober enough to remember it by the time the fight starts...especially with the British boxing on that night too. Going to be a really tough fight, but Frampton has shown he can raise the game when he needs to, hope he comes home with the strap.

You will be happy to know it will be broadcast live on radio 5 live starting at 3.30 am.

Coverage: Listen live on BBC Radio 5 live and BBC Radio Ulster, with commentary repeated on Radio 5 live sports extra from 06:00 BST.
Carl Frampton takes on Leo Santa Cruz for the WBA featherweight crown determined to show fight fans in the United States just how good he is.

The unbeaten 29-year-old from Belfast said: "The last time I was in the States, I did not show my true potential.

"I don't think people have seen a really good performance from me in quite a while."

The last time Frampton fought in the United States, in July 2015, he recovered from being knocked down twice in the opening round to retain his IBF super-bantamweight title with a unanimous points decision over Alejandro Gonzalez Jr in El Paso, Texas.

Cruz is a lot taller.

Women are hot.

Don't get me wrong these guys are champions I like them all but for a moment they reminded me of high school students that almost got caught cutting class. By the way the girls are definitely hot.,
