Comments Thread For: Frampton's Coach: Leo Santa Cruz Might Get Stopped in Rematch
Shane McGuigan, who trains WBA featherweight champion Carl Frampton (23-0, 14KOs) would like to see an immediate rematch with Leo Santa Cruz (32-1-1, 18KOs).
I think Leo wins the rematch. Frampton had an INCREDIBLE, PERFECT night and highly doubt he could duplicate it. And in the end Leo looked ready go another 12 rounds while Frampton was clinching a lot more. These guys fight 10 times I could see both winning 5. Leo had no plan B see he can work on using his longer reach and height better this time....In the end we saw the BEST of Frampton but not the best of Leo.
This fight NEEDS a rematch to prove that win was no fluke.

So if the re-match is for 24 rounds I can see Leo winning - probably get a KO in the 19th round or later.

I think you'll find Leo has hit a wall. He's just been lucky fighting limited fighters up til Frampton. Obviously we'll see soon enough, but I'm with McGuigan.... Leo gets stopped next time out. Just my 2 cents worth.
He had 12 rounds to show he can do that, didn't even knock him down. He hurt him but that doesn't mean a full blown KO is coming in the rematch. I wil predict Frampton wins again by decision
