Leo Santa Cruz reclaimed the WBA featherweight title Saturday night with a majority decision over Carl Frampton. In their second fight in six months, the 125-pound fighters thrilled the crowd with furious exchanges over a grueling 12 rounds, with Santa Cruz (33-1-1) avenging his only loss. Using a punishing jab that often left Frampton (23-1) out of position, Santa Cruz landed more punches even as Frampton often effectively eluded blows.
