Guillermo Rigondeaux Vs. Leo Santa Cruz

[Dinamita 03]

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.

Yeah he was doing good damage from the outside against a tough southpaw. Obviously rigo is much more talented than Seda but Leo showed he's not one dimensional. I think Baby Margs gives him a good fight , not saying he wins but he's long and always enough to give Rigo fits.

I really want to see Rigo against a high-volume/pressure fighter

Rigo is a good defrnsive fighter. He will block leos 3 or 4 punches but the 5 and 6 will land. I think leo out works him or leo gets put to sleep rushing in

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.

When the #1 Rigo hater says that then it must be true. I think you're being a bit too harsh on Cruz tho because Seda although outgunned he came to win and did his best the whole fight and he wasn't half bad he just didn't have the power to make a difference. That walking straight back w his head high **** Seda did tho idk how he didn't get ktfo.

Yes, Leo would win by just throwing a higher volume of punches. It would go something like Mares vs. Moreno, w/constant pressure eventually Rigo would go down once or twice and Leo could win by tko or decision either or. I remember a bunch of boxing experts picking Moreno to pick Mares apart just like everyone here doubting Santa Cruz, ask yourself this how many times has Rigo tasted the canvas and how many times has Leo?

[BigZigga]

Big fan of both fighters. I think Santa Cruz gives him his toughest test yet and loses a competitive decision. Leo ain't no Agbeko lol he won't put on a pathetic performance like that.

[El Malo.]

Rigos too fast, too technical, too strong for anyone at that weight class. He would pick Santa Cruz apart. I got more hope in Mares to put up a fight than anyone else right now. I can see Mares winning maybe two rounds before the schooling begins

If Rigo's chin wasn't glass, he would probably survive and win a boring UD.

santa gets his head flown messing with rigo
heres the problem. in the first 3 rounds rigo will shock a lot of people & come towards santa cruiz (just like he did donaire) he will hurt cruiz to the head and body and push cruiz backwards. cruiz will remain cautious for the remaining of the fight

(i predict a 9th round stoppage)
