Just listening to Dan Rafael live. Good fight

Most likely Showtime but I'm hoping for PBC

If it's confirmed, I have Santa Cruz winning a clear decision.
 
damn it frampton, RIGO should be next

I think Frampton can beat LSC actually. IDK what was up with Frampton against Quigg but I know he can do better than that.
 
If Quigg wanted to impress.... then he should try to make a fight with Rigo.

The Roc Nation/Haymon differences coupled with the fact that Frampton can move up, lose, and then still come back to his belts at SBW are probably his reasoning behind this. McGuigan and Frampton's camp trying to argue Rigo isn't deserving is complete bullshit, but Santa Cruz is a legitimate challenge and a bigger money fight for him. If Frampton loses (and I think he will) and then comes back down and continues to duck Rigo, then he should be given a ton of shit for it. He still deserves a fair bit, but at least he's not ducking Rigo for a scrub.

This would seem to make the most sense for Quigg. It's not a huge risk seeing as Rigo is already seen as a class above Quigg, and the reward would be very substantial.
 
I have actually never been impressed by Frampton, at any point. Santa Cruz should be able to win that fight. Santa Cruz could also beat Rigo with his size and work-rate. Rigo has looked ripe for the picking lately, he is not as unbeatable as people think. Remember, he beat Nonito Donaire 3 years ago.
 
Too good to be seen by 500,000 people on Showtime, plus it's an expensive fight.

yeah, I like Frampton a lot, so I'm willing to give him slack. I actually think he beats up LSC badly if he shows up properly.

after that, Rigo or bust
 
According to Big Dan, Lee Selby wants to fight the winner of Santa/Frampton.

I am hoping LSC wins. I don't want another title fight in the UK
 
Santa Cruz gonna whoop that ass.
 
Frampton is moving up to featherweight to challenge Santa Cruz in late July or early August and the winner could certainly be a fall opponent for Selby.

Making a fight between Selby and either of them would likely be relatively easy to do because all three are aligned with adviser Al Haymon.

Selby didnt look too good against a guy he was supposed to beat. He was open to left hand counters. He wouldnt beat either Frampton or Santa
