Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz: I Want Gary Russell Jr. Next - I Want To Unify!

[Santa_]

One of the best fights in boxing to be made right now between the top two Featherweights in the world. Both in their prime, both with fan friendly fighting styles and both willing to risk it all in the ring.


Can't wait for this. WAR LEO!

[Santa_]

Where was this energy to fight the best back when rigo was trying to give him smoke??

Him and Rigo are best buds. I don't think they ever wanted to fight each other.

Russell Jr on top form wins rather easy against Santa Cruz.

Gary vs Leo would be a great fight! So would Abner vs Frampton! They are both spoils of Santa Cruz now.
Now back to reality... Gary Russell Jr would win the fight imo. Problem is getting that contract signed. I don’t think the signature will be a problem for Team Santa, I feel like it’ll be some kind of bs from Team Russell

rigo undoubtedly wanted that fight and said so many times. Santa Cruz didn't.

Great match up, i think Santa Cruz has shown lately he can do more than just come forward and throw lots of punches!

He's been actually using his reach, his jab and a really nice 1-2!

I have it 60-40 in favor for Russell jr who is the stronger, faster, and more technical figher but Leo got more variety in his bag than we all thought!

Hope Haymon make it happen in the fall!

There wasn't a big demand or money for a Rigo fight. Rigo style was too boring

that's the excuse that Santa cruz and his fans made to justify the duck but real fans know better. Rigo was a bigger name than almost anyone santa cruz faced. Most people never heard of 90 plus percent of the names on santa Cruz's record. Rigo would've embarrassed santa cruz and he and his daddy knew it.

Let's Go Mr. Russell Jr.! Let's get this done! This is way overdue!

Santa Cruz moved up in weight and made more money than Rigo. Rigo fought nobodies and got embarrased by Loma and just quit. Rigo till this day is still hiding cause he is embarrassed and doesn't want to show his face
