Carl Frampton defeated Leo Santa Cruz back in August 2016 in what was a very closely contested fight ending in majority decision victory for Frampton.

Now looking at both fighters, Santa Cruz is a slick fighter who lacks punching power but can put opponent underpressure with his massive volume of punches all night long. This fight is very likely to go all the way till 12 round and if does go that way I can only see one winners and thats Santa Cruz. Frampton’s only chance is catching him with pig punches and hope for a knockout.

Mikey Garcia vs Dejan Zlaticanin

Another quality fight on the night involves Mike Garcia who is returning to the ring after a long layoff will take on Dejan Zlaticanin. It is his chance after finally seeing the back of a massive promotional conflict forcing him three years out of the ring.
