Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: If Leo Santa Cruz Wants Next, Let's Go

[B-Bomber]

There were quite a few articles these past few months or so with LSC stating his case for why he doesn't want/have to fight Rigo based on his style and the fact he's not a draw and the comment sections in those posts were filled with LSC sympathizers, who basically felt the same way. Forget about the fact that Rigo has two major straps and the reward in beating him would probably make him p4p 10 overnight ... It seems certain fans are ok with certain fighters getting "ducked" as long as they have a certain style.

Absolutely.

I've read many comments like "why fight Rigo for peanuts? " , "if Rigo is so good he should move up " or even gems like "he's not relevant, he is fighting in Japan and nobody wants to see him fight over here".

And of course the classics: " he runs " or "he's boring".

He doesn't want it rigo. Neither do his fans

Don't lump every Santa Cruz fan in the same category. I'm one, and I absolutely want to see him fight Rigondeaux. I'll take Frampton or Quigg, just get the **** in the ring with someone already, Leo.

LOL at putting GGG in with Leo and Mattyssee.

LOL at putting Matthysse, who literally fights everyone, in with Leo.

I guess Cinci Champ is still pretending Matthysse is ducking Broner. Broner fans really want to believe that.

*question with obvious answer*

Why doesn't the WBC make Rigo the mandatory like they did Golovkin and like Kovalev has a chance to do if he beats Pascal?

WBO/WBA super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (15-0, 10KOs) is smiling at the statements being made by Leo Santa Cruz (28-0-1, 16KOs), the WBC champion.

Santa Cruz said he was very motivated to get a unification fight with Rigondeaux. He returns on January 17th against Jesus Ruiz at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The two-time Olympic gold medal winner says he is ready to fight Santa Cruz at any time. Santa Cruz is calling himself the best fighter at the weight and Rigondeaux wants to prove him wrong in the ring.

Rigo is smiling... We should be laughing...

[gmc_rfc_06]

He doesn't want next, truth be told he doesn't want ever.

I believe this is the easiest fight possible for Rigo.

[just the facts]

Rigo you are a bum who fights in japan alleyways in front of drunks for peanuts, you are on no one radar. Leo will spark that glass chin out.

based on what? Anyone who has actually watched these two fight comes to the obvious conclusion- Rigo EASY!

[just the facts]

I see Rigo fanboys arent as keen for this fight now that their god was exposed by a domestic level Japanese fighter.

and once again common sense takes a back seat to nationalistic pride.

[otrocubiche]

Now that rigo has been exposed as a soft bum with a glass chin, everybody should be eager to fight him, ko him and take his belt, right? Where is the line? Thought so

[who_necks]

Santa Cruz will KO biscuit chin Rigondeaux.
