Comments Thread For: Santa Cruz: To Prove I'm The Best at 126 - I Have To Beat Russell

[SkillspayBills]

GRJ is a diva he’s not going to fight Leo unless he gets 5-7M. Why Haymon still deals with him is beyond me. I’d let him go to DAZN, ESPN or wherever he wanted to go

That's a complete and utter lie.

Russell jr beats him comfortably in my opinion. He's so talented but doesn't fight anywhere near enough.

[Rip Chudd]

Grj must really not love boxing, he literally must be fine fighting one time a year

He is content with his career. He gave an interview explaining why he doesn't fight frequently due to how messed up his hands are

These dudes don't want no smoke with GRJ at 126.

Who GRJ or LSC? What red flags?

GRJ...massive bouts of inactivity, due to different reasons (mystery injuries), he had a 50% KO at the lower levels and all of a sudden starts showing serious power at world level. No one talks about him but to me he is suspect.

Who is GRJ??? Sounds like hes retired.

[AdonisCreed]

They need to fight before it passes it's expiration date!! Besides since I'm clearly not gonna see a Loma GRJ rematch this will have to do lol

[AdonisCreed]

I think GRJ handspeed will lb the difference in the fight. I got Russell stopping him!!!!!! ...... Well maybe not stopping him but he'll win UD!!

If LSC and Russell ever do fight, I see Leo beating him even more than Loma beat him. Leo may even drop him a couple times along the way.

Shame though because it's not like he has all the time in World. If he keeps fighting once a year and say he retires at 34 that means he only has 4 fights left in his career.
That's not enough to do what he says he wants to accomplish.
He said he wants to unify at 126, win a title at 130, and rematch Lomachenko. Is he going to be able to do all of that in just 4 fights?

You would think Russell would try to fight as much as possible now that he is still young, even if it means fighting just twice in a year, and be able to retire young.
That sounds like a better idea. He could have been fighting 2 times a year and be done by 33-34.
