Comments Thread For: Ruiz Ready To Enforce Mandatory Shot at Leo Santa Cruz

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For as long as Leo Santa Cruz has been a 122 lb. champion, he’s yet to make a mandatory defense. Rather, the unbeaten boxer from Mexico has been afforded a steady stream of glorified sparring sessions (ironically which occasionally can be found in mandatory title defenses), despite his serving in one of the deepest divisions in the sport today.

More of the same figures to be in store for Santa Cruz’ showcase placement in the chief support to the May 2 super fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Barring a surprise that Abner Mares’ dream is granted of landing the fight, fans are not waiting in anticipation for a notable name on the B-side of the attraction, on a night that will go down as the most lucrative in boxing history.

it really does surprise me with how big this ppv is that with 2 or 3 promotions they cant come up with one good fight. then again they would probably rather santa cruz get a knockout over some bum to please the the fans who dont really watch boxing who will be tuning in

This is respectable

This guy or Mares if he's not going to fight Rigo or Framp. A Fight against a mando and he's dangerous,that looks promising.

Ruiz doesn't really excite me, but he would still be several steps up in class from the hopeless bums Santa Cruz has been fighting. Santa Cruz is an absolute disgrace.
