More exciting fighter Leo Santa Cruz or Brandon Rios?

Santa Cruz gets my vote. All out action PLUS boxing skills and accurate shots and smart use of combinations. Yep. I'll take that over a slob like Rios any day of the week.

rios is the more exciting fighter at the moment because he fights with reckless abandon and doesn't mind getting hit, but santa cruz is by far the more refined, complete fighter. i'm very high on him and think he'll have a top-notch career if he keeps doing what he's doing - could be another mexican legend in the making.

santa cruz by a mile

I really like both. Voted for Leo though. I think he has some really good skills. Rios is all heart and chin though which always makes for a good fight. Tough choice. Glad I can enjoy both.

Both these guys are exciting fighters it was hard to pick. I went with Cruz the guy throws crazy combos.

Rios in my opinion. It's close though. I want to see Santa Cruz fight Agbeko and Darchinyan.

I prefer Santa Cruz bc he is non-stop coming forward with accurate and crisp punches where as Rios is more of just a swarmer with some wild shots and wide open to be hit. But the way you describe the fighter shows me Rios is the exciting fighter. You can be as accurate as anyone, but that doesnt guarantee "exciting" nor does come forward fighters. I think you and I can agree that exciting fighters are the ones that get hit and dish out. Santa Cruz is the better fighter, but Rios is the exciting fighter.

Leo Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz is a hell of a lot better, and that will prove to be more exciting most the time.

Lets not act like santa cruz's d isnt leaky. Like benny though, if i had to follow just one, it'd be santa cruz. That the non existant lord that I dont have to make that choice cuz watching all of these dudes fights.

I can't pick, they are both equally exciting to watch for their styles. One has a leaky defense with a lot of power and the other has a great output of precise punches. But technically Santa Cruz has more stuff

I find Santa Cruz to be more exciting to watch as an individual, but so far Rios has been in more exciting fights because of the guys he's been matched against. I like both a lot, but I think I'd prefer to watch Santa Cruz, if I had to watch one only, as he progresses.

kids a badass

I prefer Santa Cruz bc he is non-stop coming forward with accurate and crisp punches where as Rios is more of just a swarmer with some wild shots and wide open to be hit.

Santa Cruz has a better arsenal and overall better boxing ability....but Rios (at least for now) appears to have a better chin and and more heart. Although Santa Cruz hasn't had the same level of opposition to test his chin and heart like Rios has so that may change in the future. One of my favorite attributes in a fighter is his heart. Which is why i'll go with Rios

I prefer Santa Cruz's more accurate punch output.
