I hope Haymon builds them up by putting them on the same PBC card. Maybe even get it on FOX or ESPN PBC broadcast for the actual fight.

Would have LOVED to see him fight Ceja, but maybe that fight can still happen down the line a little. So maybe GRJ vs LSC next year. No problem with that.

me too gary russel already been calling him out my guess is russel mares will happen first. then again knowing the wbc they may order it right now

I respect him...

Seeing someone show any sort of respect for Leo on NSB is such an unusual thing. The guy was just repeatedly shat on until he beat Mares. I always felt people should give him the benefit of the doubt and he ended up proving he earned it.

About dropping the belt, yea, refreshing to see it not turned into a big ordeal.

Santa Cruz vs gary Russell seems like a good fight for PBC to make
