(Photo Credit: Amanda Westcott/SHOWTIME) By Dan Ambrose: For boxing fans interested in seeing a replay of last Saturday’s featherweight clash between WBA champion Leo Santa Cruz (32-1-1, 18 KOs) and challenger Carl Frampton (23-0, 14 KOs), they can see it tonight on Showtime Extreme at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT. In some circles, they’re calling the Santa Cruz vs. Frampton fight a ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate.
I’m not sure if it comes even close to the much more exciting fight between Orlando Salido and Francisco Vargas last June. That fight was scored a 12 round draw, but it was still a great fight despite the judges failing to give Salido the win after he got the better of Vargas.
