Former three-division champion Leo Santa Cruz avenged a first career defeat handed to him last summer by Carl Frampton, winning a majority decision in a rematch that allowed him to regain the WBA featherweight title he'd lost to the Northern Irishman.

The California-based Mexican earned the win by scores of 115-113 on the cards of judges Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman, while a third judge, Burt Clements, saw it even at 114-114.

CBS Sports saw it slightly wider, 116-112, in Santa Cruz's favor.
