The fans are already living the revenge between the Northern Irish Carl Frampton (23-0, 14KO) and the Mexican Leo Santa Cruz (32-1-1, 18), who will fight for the WBA Featherweight Super Championship. This Wednesday, both held their open workouts and felt the heat of their followers.


The first to do the workout was Santa Cruz, who did a little dance to the sound of Mexican music and the applause of his people. Frampton did the same thing with a big smile on his face when he felt the support of the Northern Irish people that went to Las Vegas.

For this bout, the Nevada Commission appointed Kenny Bayless as the third man in the ring, while Burt Clements, Dave Moretti and Glen Feldman will be in charge of the cards. Meanwhile, Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, WBA president, will be the supervisor.

Frampton and Santa Cruz fought each other for the first time on July 30, when the European came out victorious by majority decision and, thus, took over the WBA Featherweight Super Championship.
