Santa Cruz looks sharp against bicycle peddlers but...

Santa Cruz was never supposed to be a threat to Rigo to be completely honest.

He's a name, and a very good young fighter. That's it.

Obviously he has nothing for Rigondeaux he should move up for money fights if he is smart, and not take that L before he does.

he defenitely hs nothing on rigo, and i think donaire would beat him quite easily actually

I dont think it applies to all cases but Santa cruz is far from beating Rigo at this point, but he might be the best in the division after him.

Rigo got shook by a far lesser fighter in Marroquin. Leo might not win but he'd put some heat on Rigo. Leo's not a ***** and won't lay down/commit commercial suicide like Donaire.

Santa Cruz looks sharp against bicycle peddlers but against a counter punchng demon like rigo he has no change. I don't see much better skills than what donaire brought to the ring and we know what happened there. This Mexican style of ill walk you down throwing countless punches has little if any chance against the Cubans sharp shooting counters. Who's with me?

Don't knock Mijares performance tonight! He was game! Toe to Toe Joe... viva el boseo mejicano!

The only reason why Rigo didn't KO Donaire, was because Doniare was being extra cautious.

Leo Santa Cruz would get his head sent into the 4th row within the first round if he fights like he always does.

If Leo fights like he always does? What's that? Winning?

@foreign soil don't confuse winning against tomatoe cans vs winning against A level competition. He's not even close to that. He'll have his balls handed to him crushed in pieces lol when will you learn that because you throw 100 punches per round doesn't = victory! That tactic is considered amuterish at best. Ask your fellow mexicans and others with that style... like chavez sr, baby bull, rios, etc that means your more open to those lethal counter shots your not even going to see. Funny how all these fighters look at Mayweather and they think their going to steamroll over him and then what happens? They get countered an all of a sudden they have no plan B! This aggressive style plays into the counter puncher style to perfection!
