Guillermo Rigondeaux Vs. Leo Santa Cruz

I admit to probably being completely wrong and having very little objectivity when it comes to Leo Santa Cruz, but I think he holds his own and gives Rigo a fight. He's big, fundamentally solid, has a good jab and while his activity will obviously lessen with Rigo's movement, it can still cause problems.

Rigondeaux picks him apart. I was a bit disappointed with what I saw from Santa Cruz last Saturday night. A technical counter puncher like Rigondeaux would have a field day with him I believe, and I don't like Rigondeaux at all btw. Santa Cruz is just too predictable and open for counters.

Rigo can def lose this fight. He is severly undersized. LSC looks awkward but he is for real.

Rigo easily outboxes Santa Cruz. Easily.

Open for counters? He hardly got hit outside of flurrying body shots against Seda, and does a pretty good job picking off punches with his arms and gloves. He certainly wasn't getting caught by counters. Obviously Rigo is a different story, but Santa Cruz's defense is pretty good, especially for his style.

I don't get how people are disappointed in Leo's performance against Seda. He did a lot more boxing than normal and did a good job.

Rigo is the clear favorite, but lets be honest, santa cruz would be a very live underdog

Rigo has yet to face a high caliber pressure fighter in the pro ranks,, I think rigo would win, but i also think santa cruz may outwork him, tire him, and come on strong late in a fight that looks alot like mares-moreno

Leo prob wouldn't throw more than 20 punches a round vs Rigo. Easy victory

He rushes in with his head and throwing wild combinations. If Seda would have timed him coming in (assuming he was a good counter puncher), he would have put Santa Cruz in trouble.

I am not disappointed in Santa Cruz as a fighter, just his performance that night. He needs to tweak a few things.
