Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz Wants To Get Payback on Gary Russell Jr.

[nielon]

You mean, like Gonzalez?

Or maybe the first time they fought?

I would like to see Russell winning, sir

Unfortunately, I dont see that happening. I see Leo Santa Puss imposing his height and reach to a russell that would try to stay on the outside....

Ps: Im not a fan of Leo Santa Puss, I just call it like I see it

believe it when i see it, i hope i'm wrong but so far panty cruz has made a career of talking about other boxers, not exactly fighting them.

Russell wins this one. His style is all wrong for Santa Cruz. Cruz us busier but Russell is much faster and hits much harder.

I don't think he hits harder, it's more precision. Speed allows a flush shot. He lands while guys are over reaching, or day dreaming, and misses when he faces speed.

If Santa Cruz beats Russell then the obvious next fight is Lomachenko.

Lomachenko should fight Selby, Cuellar, or Mares in the meantime. Or target Gamboa at 130.

Gary Russell by UD, LSC can't box.

They fought as amateurs and Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15KOs) edged it, so now as professionals their destinies are again in line to collide - but this time Leo Santa Cruz (31-0-1, 17KOs) is determined to walk away with the victory.

At the World Boxing Council's spectacular Convention in Kunming, China, Leo who's been WBC super bantamweight champion, and is currently the WBC Diamond featherweight champion, says the next step is to take on Russell, who holds the WBC's full title at 126-pounds and defends it next Saturday night against Oscar Escandon.

Mares was a very good win, backing that up with Russell would be superb.

Good mentality on behalf of Leo. I gave him a lot of crap prior to his Win over Mares, but he deserves some respect if he continues to strive for the best fights possible under the PBC banner.

props ^^

I still like Loma/Walters, why did that talk die off.

Russell/Leo, Loma/Walters, winners fight, see if Russell can earn his rematch.

Thanks, fam.

Russell/Leo, Loma/Walters, winners fight, see if Russell can earn his rematch.

I believe the talk died off due to weight difficulties on Walters' behalf. Also, seeing as how Russel and Leo are under the PBC, I doubt Arum would want to work out a deal. Especially with the lawsuit Arum is pushing on to Haymon.

So are they fighting each other next then?
That's an in house fight to make.
