Showtime takes a look back at the first Carl Frampton & Leo Santa Cruz fight as well as a look ahead to their January 28 rematch.
Carl Frampton-Leo Santa Cruz II Fight Week is officially here and SHOWTIME Sports® kicks it off with this video as both fighters reflect on their thrilling firefight last July and their plans for the eagerly anticipated rematch this Saturday, Jan. 28, live on SHOWTIME® (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT) from MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Frampton, the consensus 2016 Fighter of the Year, narrowly outpointed Santa Cruz to become a two-division titleholder last July on SHOWTIME.
“You always need a dance partner, and Leo Santa Cruz could be mine,” Frampton said.
“Hopefully, that night it goes my way and we get the third fight and we make it a trilogy,” Santa Cruz said.
