Carl the better boxer mover defense but Leo has huge height and reach advantage check on boxrec huge. If he uses that plus his volume non stop attack should be interesting.

Frampton 5'5 height 62 reach Leo 5'7.5 height 69 reach . Huge advantage Leo brings it all night. Quig barely unleashed and when he did buzzed frampton. So Carl must be moving boxing smart angles tight d whole fight

After a couple rounds of getting used to Frampton's speed, I bet Santa Cruz just says '**** it' and decides to take the incoming fire from Frampton to land his own barrages. Should get fun then!

Stylistically it's a difficult fight for frampton, but If he's the better fighter hell figure out a way to win, it's what "better fighters" do. With that said, well probably never hear 12th rd bell....leo is 'better' in a couple of crucial areas.
