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.

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

Carl Froch was better.

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

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

Seems about right.

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