Leo Santa Cruz vs. Rafael Marquez?

Sh*t fight, but not the worst PPV opener if that's what it turns out to be.

I don't like it. I also do not believe Marquez should be used as anyone's stay busy fight. But if he needs the money, then his big brother is cheap.

Is going to be tough to watch Rafa take a sustain beating. Rafa still has power and has looked like he can't compete at the higher level anymore. He is not shot but is way out of his prime. All the top fighters are using him like a stepping stone for his name He's shot......

So Moreno's off? That's a real shame. Marquez will get destroyed but it will be fun while it lasts.

Don't like this fight..... At All

Marquez will take a severe beating but at least he'll get paid nicely.

Rafa doesn't deserve to be cannon fodder. He has always been willing to take tough fights be he should just hang em up at this point. He's giving us all he has and been in some great fights. I really don't want to see something terrible happen to him. They can find better match ups for Leo than this. Mijares, Mathebula, Darchinyan, Hasegawa, Frampton, and Quigg are all much better fights for Santa Cruz if he's going to be fighting at 122. I really wanted to see Santa Cruz fight Yamanaka at 118, but I know it won't happen. IMO their the two best bantamweights in the world.

Really a stay busy/ gate keeper fight. Rafa still has some power at 122. Leo moving up for the first time. Might not be horrible. did you see his last fight? He looked slow and was pushing most if not all his punches. He has lost it.

tbh this would prob be a very good fight for the televised undercard for Mayweather fight bc a lot of casuals will love the number of punches and exchanges between Santa Cruz vs Marquez

It will certainly be a good fight in that Santa cruz will be exciting unloading on him but its really a mismatch Memo will give us Super Saiyan Rafa. Like a phoenix out of the ashes.....or not.

Rafa is done, not a good fight Really a stay busy/ gate keeper fight. Rafa still has some power at 122. Leo moving up for the first time. Might not be horrible.

rafa got stopped by mijares...who was fighting at 115 just a year before their fight. this fight is a mismatch To be fair Mijares has 4 KO's in 5 fights at 122. Looks like the move up in weight has helped. Santa Cruz might also receive that benefit. But Mijares a solid boxer with experience was able to box Rafa. Leo is still a bit green. This aint a bad stay busy fight. Also what if Rafa uses Memo? http://stream1.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs1/1291110_o.gif

I don't like watching Marquez take 500 punches at this stage, he's pretty gone. He is barely even having moments in is fights now, although he might get some since Santa Cruz will be right there. - if it happens I hope there is a sympathetic ref who won't let it go on too long if it turns out to be a bad mismatch.

Marquez has been done for a few years now. Shot. He can do better than a meaningless fight.

Moreno probably wants to stay at 118, and Santa Cruz is moving up. Not terrible I guess. My thoughts exactly. Rafa has been fighting bigger guys at 126. Rafa being a small fighter could benefit from fighting back at 122 again and vs a guy coming up.
