Carl Frampton vs Leo Santa Cruz - 29/1/17

I'll be honest, Santa Cruz surprised me. I did not think that he could box that well or even be disciplined enough to continue doing it throughout the fight. He won comfortably.

Frampton was a class act after the fight. So props to him. A third fight is a must.

I was surprised Santa Cruz changed it up, looked a much neater fighter than in the past, just using his range more made him a deserved winner, even though it was close. Quality operators in and out the ring. Wouldn't be surprised if it swung back to Frampton in the rubber match.

Mikey Garcia looked P4P cracking an unbeaten granite chin. Looked a long tough fight beforehand

Great KO that, free shot delivered bang on the chin

I reckon thats why I couldn't be a boxer, if someone was standing in front of me with their chin hanging out like that I'd feel bad lamping them on it.

Watched the fight this morning thought Cruz did extremely well with his reach n range very disciplined bit like Frampton in the 1st fight, had Cruz 3 rounds up, respect to Carl after the fight, if Cruz boxes like that again in fight 3 the Jackel is in trouble.

I heard Johnny Nelson criticise Shane saying that he was telling Carl what is was doing wrong but not telling him what he had to do to win.

Does that mean that Shane is a bit over rated and when it comes to handling the big fights he does not have a plan B?

No. It means Johnny Nelson has an opinion. I never heard Nelson say that , so can't comment on thy specifically, but I don't believe that Johnny Nelson is the oracle of Boxing.
