I love Santa Cruz man. I have gone from just a supporter of his to a HUGE FAN. He fights like a REAL MAN, like a REAL fighter should. Leo is a warrior man. I just love his style. He is willing to take it and exchange. WAR TERREMOTOOO!!!!!!! All of you running poosies in boxing who read these forums, TAKE NOTES you cowards. Leo is the type of fighters we respect and want to see. RUNNING/RETREATING is for low life COWARDS who are too afraid of standing toe to toe against another man.

Just got a chance to watch the fight. Pretty good scrap. LSC gained respect from me after fighting Mares and I gotta give him credit for last night's exciting performance. He has a lot of interesting potential future fights available to him, hope to see him with a better opponent than Kiko in his next fight.

LSC keeps improving was impressed with how he fought off the backfoot.

Quigg and Frampton didn't exactly impress today. There were times when they were doing nothing at all. I'd probably favor Leo over either of them, he never stops punching. Yeah they struggled, because they were againt a good opponent. How was this fight a sactioned world title fight? Kiko was blasted by both quigg and frampton at superbantam, then gets a featherweight title shot? Santa Cruz fights more bums than homer simpson

Kiko forgot the phrase "head movement". Dude was probably punch drunk by the end because he didn't even take a knee when he should've.

Omg its clear as day Quigg and Frampton would both beat LSC who is clearly just a bum fighter who's record portrays a false story. Quigg and Frampton didn't exactly impress today.

Yea, that was a bad stoppage. I like Leo but that shouldn't have been stopped and I was worried Leo was going to gas.

Good guy Leo Santa Cruz KO's Kiko just in time for the Crawford fight :boxing:

Leo is lucky the ref stopped it because he would have shot his wad with that flurry.

I think Kiko could have weathered the storm there. He just wasn't punching back.

Santa Cruz looking bad vs the smaller guy

Crazy how Kiko makes zero effort to defend himself, yet puts on so much relentless pressure. How in the hell is he not exhausted??? Dude is a punching bag but won't stop swinging and coming forward.
