As things stand Froch's record is much stronger than Frampton's.

What's so special about Frampton's technique?

I think that he's a tad overrated.
Well said, he's more awkward. And his right hand often goes really wide.
Well said my hole! Just because that buffoon doesn't rate him doesn't mean he's overrated! He's probably awkward to fight against but technically he's a very talented guy and up there with best we've produced recently.

I had Santa Cruz winning by 2 rounds but would be interested to see the 3 scorecards, Id imagine there werent many rounds that any guy took on all 3 scorecards and that would show how close the fight was. Santa Cruz did however win a couple of rounds quite clearly and those I did score for Frampton could have easily went the other way.

It wasnt a barnstormer but I enjoyed it, well matched fighters. I was confident that Framptob was gonna win beforehand but think I underestimated Santa Cruz ability to stick to a gameplan.

Both guys come away with reputations intact with options for further paydays
I agree entirely with this. I scored it by one to LSC.

Carl Froch was better.
FOR ONCE HORSE I AGREE... much better as his resume proves.
Frampton however has time to come again and it is probably best to compare when he is done.

Any truth in the rumours that Haye's card at the end of Santa Cruz/Frampton was 120-120?

Another good fight. I was impressed with them delivering such an entertaining rematch after a tough first fight. Often after a hard first bout the rematch can be cautious, but this was another tough battle.

I think Frampton mis-judged his own power a bit and thought he could take out Cruz with one big punch, rather than picking up the points by out punching Leo.

It was close and hats off to Frampton for taking defeat so sportingly :TU: . That sets a great example and puts boxing in light that we could do with more of.

I don't think that card would be ridiculously inaccurate.

I was shaking my head when I seen Haye had 3 even rounds in the 1st 6 of the Frampton fight but TBH there was a few rounds in the Berchelt/Vargas fight that could've been 10-10

I found Vargas vs Berchelt far easier to score than the Frampton vs Santa Cruz fight.

I found Santa Cruz/Frampton tough to score because both guys struggled to land clean, I found Berchelt/Vargas tough to score because both struggled to miss

I'd be pretty surprised if Santa Cruz actually agreed to have the rubber match in Belfast.
