They should not bother with a 3rd fight yet and meet at a later time if they need it.
Wow! I thought it was a really interesting fight. Watching the changes Santa Cruz made after the first fight , using the jab more and nicking rounds in the last 30 seconds of rounds with massive work rate.
You have to respect the fact that Santa Cruz is a 3 weight World Champion before saying "Carl should've done this" and "Shane should've said that". Sometimes you just meet the better man on the night.
I also think Frampton loses nothing in defeat, he was top class before, during and after, just as Santa Cruz was in the 1st fight.
In this day and age where some fighters talk themselves into big money fights, I thought it was refreshing that 2 guys just went out there (twice) and left it all in the ring. I hope they put a 3rd fight on and both make a shit load of dough,they deserve it.
I know Frampton wants it in Belfast, can't blame him, but I think it will be in Vegas, as I reckon they will have caught the imagination of the U.S. Audience.
