Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz vs. Abner Mares Rematch Ordered By The WBA

You must not be aware of Mares' last fight. He came back in a big way.

Frampton rubber match needs to marinate, IMO. 2 immediate rematches is too much when the first 2 weren't really controversial.

Also, if Rigo wants it he can go up and get it. Leo just got his belt back and is huge for the weight class. No reason for him to go down for Rigo.

I saw mares last fight. Still not sold.

Funny how Leo and his team didn't see a need to let the first rematch marinate but now all of a sudden marination is needed.

Rigo can and probably would go up, let still wouldn't fight him. He changed promotional companies and begged hay on to buy him out the 2nd golden boy entered negotiations to get that fight done and his father flat out said they wont take that fight.

I agree. Rigo gotta move up ffs. I am optimistic for Roc's next match. That's where Rigo can make a new statement at least..

You never know. They might announce a north bound announcement. It's imperative to make such headlines for Feather shaking.

Oscar Valdez please. Not very interested in this fight. We know both of these guys are Lomachenkos *****es. They wont even fight Gary Russell.

They just fought twice in a row. Just admit it, you won't be happy til Carl has the belt. Carl has some things to figure out anyway. He just got outclassed by LSC and he even admitted that. If he fought him again right away he'd likely lose and might blow his chances at another shot for quite a while. Smarter for him to work on some things this year.

Sucks because he's already small. Would be real putting himself at a disadvantage, and at an advanced age.
But, they botched his career so badly that he's going to have to do something drastic if he wants money fights, or a legacy.

GRJ looks like a midget too. Dude got a strap northbound. Isn't he about half an inch taller? Have you ever since Rigo jump solely with his calve muscles?! It's on YouTube. It's foookong ridiculous the height he reaches with that jump

I would love to see this rematch, but I feel Leo needs to honor his word and fight Frampton in N.Ireland.

The Mares fight will be just as exciting even if he loses to Frampton. However if he lose to Mares, the Frampton fight loses some luster IMO.

Well said. And I'm getting tired of ppl bringing up Rig. He was put on the undercard of Canelo's fight and ppl watched for a few rounds and then lost interest. They started leaving for the bathroom, smoke breaks, food/drinks. They treay him like commercials. You could throw a chair in the ring and he would box it for 12 rounds. The dude couldn't draw flies to sht.

I'm down for this fight! I liked the 1st one a LOT. Leo won by MD last time. Let's see if he can win by a larger margin this time.

Way too expensive for the networks to do it N. Ireland. I read quite a few experts agreeing they would LOVE to see the fight there but it would be too expensive.
