Santa Chicken ducking Rigondeaux once again by moving up to 126.
I really don't give a hoot about Santa Cruz, the guy is a piece of sh*t. Keeps fighting bums, and blames his dad and promoter for it. Bullsh*t. Glad Mares called him out on his sh*t last week. Al Haymon has a way of making the fans really hate his fighters.
the moment they decide to take a step up in opposition, Sta Cruz is gonna get wrecked...how is fighting fish merchants gonna develop this kid?
Well the stink on that guy might be the worst ever for any fighter. The ability to block out the smell of your opponent is undervalued, good for LSC.
Boxrec says LSC is fighting Zsolt Bedak...
... But it's less than 2 weeks till the biggest PPV in the history and this joke is still to fight a TBE... This is plain disrespect.
He's on the most lucrative ppv in history, if there any time to step it up, it's now. This is what his career.
I agree completely.
Unfortunately it's not Haymon's show though, and he'll won't want one of his assets showcased in a competitive fight on a non PBC show (Mayweather's probably the only exception to this rule and his deal with Haymon is probably different from everyone else's given the fact, he doesn't need Haymon at this point). They know they can half àrse this undercard as it's not a selling point for the PPV at all, so why pay good money for a decent opponent? It's shít and it's not the way it should be, but unfortunately for us, that's the way it is.
Leo is one of those fighters I don't really care for. Don't love him and I don't hate him. He's just there. But it's getting harder to not hate this dude. That can all change once he fights Mares.

Wow, so he fights a bantamweight at near featherweight. Thats weak. I'm surprised that they actually skipped Asian and Latin Anerican fighters to get a European fighter. European fighter usually suck at the lower weights....
I imagine his competition will step up when he's fighting on PBC.
Still, no excuse for his terrible opposition for the past two years.

Lol I'm actually inclined to believe that. Just checked him out, his last win is over a guy that's 14-35.
