He's a cute little fighter, who defied type of being a head first brawler considering his height. Showed decent skills in my opinion and won me over between rounds 2-5. Didn't like the way Santa Cruz swerved Rigo, so I would be in Jojo's corner. The atmosphere would be dope all through out, so I say make the fight.

    Don't ask me who wins though. I suck at predictions.
    myself , my cousin and his wife were screaming ," go jo jo!!" like we knew him our whole lives


    made a fan out of me too....come to think of it has their ever been a jo jo that people didnt love lol

      Lmfao! Yeah, I can relate. It only takes 3 minutes to become a fan of boxer. In my case, it took 2 seconds of Floyd dancing his way to Henry Bruseles before knocking him out that made me a fan of his, lol.

          Lol, man that was insane. To have complete awareness of your surroundings to be able to hear **** like that from the ring. "PBF" was absolutely insane, but "Money" killed me against Canelo. Never has a professional athlete who isn't a Brazilian soccer player made me shut up and shake my head in awe. That performance was out of this world to me, more so than the Gatti or Ndou performances.

          That **** wasn't a boxing match, it was a once in a lifetime boxing lesson from one of the greatest professors in the game.

Personally I think Diaz has the skill to UD Santa Cruz but I think he is a little to green right now. 1 or 2 more fights under his belt and I think he beats Santa Cruz, not easily but throughly. Hopeully GBP and Haymon could make this happen, Itd be a great staples center fight!

            Anyways, do you think Diaz has the skill to beat Santa Cruz?
            That's great f'ing fight in the making. And yeah Diaz is pretty good but a little bit green I agree. Diaz needs a few gimme/tune-ups fights before they can throw down.

                Diaz is the more sound boxer and has faster hands, but he gets hit too much. He seems to get cut up very easy and against an aggressive guy like Santa Cruz who is going to bring the fight to him that is a pretty big issue.

                If Diaz can fight through that with minimal effect he stand a good chance of winning, but if the cuts end up in a bad place that is easier said than done especially if Santa Cruz is gobbling up Diaz' best shot while inflicting them.


                Good fight though

                  Right now, LSC. JoJo has been in one actual fight. He is way too green right now. Give him some time before putting him in with a multi-division champion.

                    Pretty boy Floyd was my favorite fighter back then


                    Money was cool...just hated how he put so much work in and people still trashed or made excuses for who he beat

                    As far as the canelo fight....its rare to see an elite fighter get taken to school like that....that was the best mayweather post 07

                      I was impressed with a fighter so early in his career with a varied defense like that


                      He'll be a good pro
