Comments Thread For: Cuellar Wants Santa Cruz Next, Move to 130 Soon After

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Jesus Cuellar doesn’t see himself sticking around featherweight for much longer. But before he goes, he wants to take on one of the other best 126-pound fighters in the world.

“I want to fight two more fights at this weight and then move up,” Cuellar said immediately after defeating Jonathan Oquendo, according to a translation provided to press. “I want to fight Leo Santa Cruz next.”

Before this previous fight I would have said the fight with him and Leo would have been close to a 50/50 fight. But Leo's fight against Mares was extremely impressive and I was shocked (in a good way) on how well he looked.

Also Cuellar looked off Saturday. He has a new trainer which looks so far like a mistake. When he was with Robert Garcia he looked quick, fast, and powerful with both hands. His combinations were fluid, but this fight he looked off, sluggish, and looked liked a completely different fighter.

He has a lot of improving to do before he gets Leo. He needs Robert Garcia back in his corner. Without Robert Leo Santa Cruz would eventually wear him down and take him out in my opinion.

If Cuelle is leaving to 130 , that will give Carlos Zambrano the belt , his not a PBC fighter so Loma can fight him in the unification
