Frampton should have stayed at 122 and fought Rigo in Ireland, I've said it before.

Frampton has the much bigger frame and Leo only looks about 2 inches taller head to head, he was dropped by Kiko Martinez who recently had a draw against a journeyman so we can safely say Kiko is shot to bits. LSC also said he was surprised by Kikos strength and that Kiko was probably the most physically strong fighter he's ever faced, which means he's in for a big shock against Frampton

Also, Framptons win over Quigg shits on Leos win over Mares, have you seen Mares since he lost to Gonzalez? struggling against journeymen

I feel very confident for Frampton in this one, he will be by far the hardest puncher Leo has faced, Kiko and Quigg hit harder than Leo

And what about the last 5 or so rounds before that? I also think Frampton faded in the second Kiko fight.

Mind you, Cruz recovered very fast, but he was shaken, so maybe he won't be able to walk through Frampton's shots so easily.

Still like him to win wide though.

If I was betting it's got to be LSC. He holds all the aces: home advantage, acclimatised at the weight, too big & too busy.

Carl's in for a tough night but here's hoping he pulls out a shock.

Be interesting to see weigh in later though ...

Do you know if BN are showing the weigh in live?

I rewatched it too but arrived at different conclusion. Leo wasn't hurt. He got pushed down rather then punched. Kikos wrist hit him in the neck and he lost the balance.
