Official: PBC on ESPN Santa Cruz vs Mares Pre/Post fight thread

[IR0NFIST]

Who ever had it 117-111 needs to get their eyes checked. I scored the fight 115-113 for LSC and a fair amount of those rounds could've gone either way. Mares came out strong but faded down the stretch and LSC was landing more from the outside, he really found a home for that left. Overall great fight that elevated both of their careers, I'm definitely looking forward to a rematch.

However, LSC should move back down for now. From what I saw, he doesn't stand a chance against the likes of Frampton, Rigo, Loma or Walters. The guy is just too easy of a target with not enough power or offensive finesse to hang with elite featherweights.

man espn got really annoying saying "mexican" this and "mexican" that the entier damn telecast!!! YES we get it,its a battle between two mexicans "warriors" but theres no need to repeat this every 10 seconds! when two purto rico fighters fight they dont mention that crap, or when two black american fighters fight they dont claim its for the "prideof the USA" so cut the crap!!

and they kept saying both were "mexican american" but leo santa cruz wasnt born here nor is he a citizen! they need to get tehre facts straight

Ahck! They should have fought the whole fight like that last 30 seconds! Cruz fought well though and showed some extra wrinkles which seemed to be enough to just throw Mares off.

Good fight, although it didn't quite live up to the hype of what it could have been, as evidenced by some small parts of the fight that were great. I think it was just Mares got tired and sloppy and ended up clinching too much. Came out too quick I think.

Wonder where Mares goes from here? He's still young and fought a hell of a lot of great fighters and there's still more out there for him.

Basically this, good fight. Mares blew too much steam coming out so aggressive early. I'm not making excuses for Mares tho, since I predicted Cruz to win, I just would've liked to see Mares pace himself better cause he really slowed down after 3 and it became clear where this fight was going now.

Does pbc pay for propaganda too?

This was not a great fight. Wtf are they on?

They wanna educate dumb casual fans on what is a good fight to them. Thats why they went out of their way to talk crap on May-Pac......even though in this fight there was no skill, sloppy punches, and awkward falling galore. I love to see Technical boxing clinics!!!! oh the joy of technical boxing

i agree with the people saying it wasnt that great of a fight. not many meaningful punches landed. not that i was expecting some kind of fight of the year type deal to begin with. in general, i don't find santa cruz fights to be entertaining.

i scored the fight a draw

Come on, Leo can perfectly defeat Frampton.
