Santa Cruz vs. Pitalua: The Battle For Pacquiao

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

On September 20 at Arena Coliseo in Monterrey, Mexico, Jose Armando Santa Cruz (26-3, 15KOs) will face off with Antonio Pitalua (45-3, 39KOs) in a WBC eliminator to earn a shot at WBC lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao. [details]

are those two being suckered to pay WBC for sanctioning fees?

anyway it might be a good idea for them to be line-up for the championship...we never know what PAC will be doing next..

I said a while back that Pacquiao should fight Santa Cruz, 'cause Cruz has a legitimate claim to the lineal belt since he was robbed of a decision in his fight with Casamayor. But unless something really falls through with the De La Hoya deal, I don't see the fight happening.

I would be very surprised if pacquiao fights the winner. This is most likely going to give the winner a interim title shot with someone else

[The Gambler1981]

Yea i agree the winner of this fight will fight for a vacent strap at some point. No way Pacman fights either dude, there are bigger fish to fry in the lightweight division, if he even stays.

Calling it right now, if Pac fights De La Hoya, thats the end of Pac as a legit boxer. He'll get himself KTFO, and then go look for another big money fight in Hatton, then go for Mayweather or retire. It sucks, he coulda had an awesome run as a LW, but Oscar is gonna **** that up.

dont overlook pitalua
hes 38 but hes got a 12 ko winning streak and we know santacruz doesnt have a good chin

[OnePunch]

anyone that thinks Suliman will EVER force Pac to make a mandatory defense is out of their minds. He'll just let the Santa Cruz-Pitalu winner fight for an "interim" title, and keep collecting fees from Pac......

Really, this ain't gonna happen. More cash flows if Pacman facing the winners from JMM-Casa or Nate-Guzman. If GUzman wins, he'll be a lil bet easy prey for Pacman!
