Leo Santa Cruz on May 2nd Card

[daggum]

a chance to show good fights and get the huge audience more interested in other fighters besides these two..............and its gone!

[Pain~Lucy]

with a month to go, okay

[Scipio2009]

Another short notice opponent


Why the hell is Haymon protecting this kid so much?


Is this Haymon's way of thanking Leo for naming his son after him?
.

Same reason Golovkin has been feasting on soft touches, likely even before he appeared on HBO in the first place: there are only a few really big fights for him so, while he waits, his camp is happy just keeping him busy.

LSC vs Frampton (in Belfast), LSC vs Quigg (stateside), and LSC vs Frampton/Quigg winner (on UK PPV, with live afternoon show stateside) are the money fights for Santa Cruz; LSC vs Rigo is the legacy fight, but the economics of the situation (with Caribe leeching off of every Rigo fight) likely makes that a longshot.

Haymon not really caring about massaging the media has left Leo taking shots that other fighters in similar situations don't have to take; with the trust that he has in Haymon, and Haymon delivering for him, Leo seems willing to take those shots, in the name of making the dream work.

He's getting noticeably worse, which sucks. Leo Santa Cruz wasn't having problems blasting out bums 3 years ago. The bums he's fighting now are no better, but he's looking much worse against them.

There was a time where I thought Leo had a chance to rise to an A fighter type level, but yeah, it looks more and more like he has hit his ceiling. He has a great motor, work rate is elite but outside of that he seems pretty average.
