Comments Thread For: Santa Cruz: I Hope To Get Rigondeaux or Mares Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS - WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz defended his crown for the fourth time with an eighth-round TKO of Jesus Ruiz and afterword called out fellow champions Abner Mares and Guillermo Rigondeaux in the co-feature of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

The early rounds were close and competitive and Ruiz, a heavy underdog, seemed to be a tougher test than he looked on paper. But it was clear that Santa Cruz was landing the cleaner shaper punches. The former bantamweight world champion landed some meaningful shots and had Ruiz in trouble in the seventh and, for the first time, it appeared that he could finish Ruiz.

What he really means is he wants to fight Mares next.

I actually thought his fight tonight was a good one. Ruiz came to fight. Action, lot of body work. Was it stopped too early? Maybe.

With that being said, and as a council member of the Rigotard clan...

You don't want them problems.

Styles

Styles make fights Santa cruz comes to fight straight ahead no d high volume straight punches not big ko power no angles head movement but comes to fight rigo will move set traps Santa cruz rushing in will run right into counters all night be busted up trying bravely but eventually stopped. You can't be 1 trick pony

Yea OK, it's one thing to call a guy out in front of the cameras, but it's another thing to ACTUALLY TRY TO MAKE THE FIGHT HAPPEN & Santa Cruz hasn't done ANYTHING to make a fight with Rigondeaux happen except put every excuse in the book on why NOT to fight Rigo..Rigo will not only school him, but will ridicule Santa Cruz & make him look like a "Tomato Can" level fighter & Santa Cruz & his team know this & that's why they have been avoiding Rigo like if he had the "Ebola" virus..Most likely they are gonna go for Mares who fits more his style & plus Mares has been slipping lately..

We already know he is fighting mares next so why does he keep trying to fool people when saying rigo when he is on the record saying mares will be next. I guess he forgot that here is this thing called the internet

Where the hell are the santa joke fans? LSC is straight garbage took him so long to beat a 33rd ranked fighter

I'm even more confident in Rigo schooling LSC than I was before last night and I was already pretty confident in Rigo.

Mares to the rescue! Lol kinda like Cotto is coming to Floyds rescue. Lol Cotto and Mares are both solid fights but I think more people want Pac and Rigo for Floyd and Leo next.
