Santa Cruz usually averages 90-100 punches a Round & in this fight he averaged a lot less & even thou he clearly won & did good, by the way he fought one could tell that Seda's southpaw stance, movement & the fact that Seda was getting shots in had Santa Cruz thinking more & not coming in swinging at everything like he usually does.. That's why if a fight between Santa Cruz & Rigondeaux would ever get done, I would have to favor Rigondeaux.

Santa Cruz was not enjoying those body blows and the occasional straight left made him think a bit when he went in. Also Seda had decent movement.
Leo still looked good IMO, he is not just a one trick pony
