I've a few mates heading over and they seem to think it's on at 6pm NY time. Could mean it's on a bit earlier than 2 or 3 if they're not mistaken

I see here it's actually listed as 9pm ET, so 2am probably accurate enough...

Ah I know your right, didn't expect anything less. Was hoping somehow it might have been earlier.

How does everyone rate his chances?

[nrico2006]

I hope he wins but if I was putting money on it I would be backing Sata Cruz.  Framptons performances up until the Gonzalez junior fight were on the rise, but in that fight and the Quigg fight he just seemed to tire a lot in the second half of the fight.  I would hope that it was more to do with him struggling to make the weight and if he can maintain a high level in this fight he could win, but Sata Cruz works hard and throws a lot of punches therefore if Frampton tires like he did against Quigg it will be lights out.  Hope I am wrong though and that the higher weight will suit Frampton more naturally.  Be great if he won.

I see Santa Cruz is the favourite for this but then I was chatting to a lad at work the day about it. He reckons Frampton will win, says that Santa Cruz has lost power moving up in weight and has never fought anyone decent, throws punches like crazy and if Frampton stays calm and uses his brain he should win...

Taller longer reach, at home, he's fought good fighters also to be champion.... This will be Carls toughest fight to date, to be fair though he's prepared the best for this, he's been in the states for a good while and is hitting the bag harder than before seeing as he's up a weight....

Hopefully the body shots Carl can hit will create opportunities to put Cruz down. Just be worried with Cruz's reach that he'll be able to keep him at bay!!
