 BROOKLYN ( Gorffennaf 21, 2016) – The featherweight world championship clash between defending titlist Leo Santa Cruz and undefeated former unified super bantamweight champ Carl Frampton features an unpredictable and potentially explosive mix of styles between two of the world’s top fighters. Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 Kos) will make the second defense of his WBA Featherweight Title against Irish superstar Frampton (22-0, 14 Kos), who relinquished two belts at 122 bunnoedd, when they face off in the main event of a Showtime PENCAMPWRIAETH BOCSIO® tripleheader on Dydd Sadwrn, Gorffennaf 30, byw ar Showtime (9 p.m. A/6 p.m. PT) gan Barclays Center yn Brooklyn.
Three-division world champion Santa Cruz ranks as one of the world’s top-three fighters in four key categories – Total Punches Thrown, Landed, Connect Percentageac Power Punches Landed (all per round, fesul CompuBox).
The numbers prove that Santa Cruz is one of the best punchers in the world, toppingGennady Golovkin, Manny Pacquiao and ranking only second by a small margin to pound-for-pound champ Rhufeinig “Chocolatito” Gonzalez mewn Power Punches Landed Per Round.
More impressively, Santa Cruz ranks as the world’s best in the Plus/Minus category that was dominated for years by pound-for-pound champ Floyd Mayweather.

In his last six fights, Frampton’s opponents landed just 29.2 percent of their power punches. Comparatively, Santa Cruz landed an astonishing 46.9 percent of his power shots over his last eight fights. Can both fighters continue at this impressive rate when they faceoff on Gorffennaf 30?
