That's the guy

[just the facts]

Cut him slack. He is a good person, read his family story and what kind of son/brother he is. Very kind, good hearted and genuine guy. He is the only fighter I will give a pass for eternity no matter who he fights.

All you say appears to be true and in life it's more important to be a good man than a good fighter but this is a boxing website. For Santa Cruz to not be fighting Russel, Warrington or even a Frampton rematch at this stage of his career is pathetic. Throw in that he flat out refused a Rigo fight. The clock is ticking, time for a serious upgrade in opposition.

How long do you think Fox is going to hang around for fights of this caliber?

Molina-Figueroa is going to be bananas

Yeah man. Its hard for me to see what he has gone thru and not feel for him and his family. I put myself in his shoes and I have such respect and admiration for people who take care of their own specially when it comes to health.

I respect your opinion but I cant say anything bad about Santa Cruz. I love his style, I think he has fought decent opposition in Mares and Frampton... Im just biased when it comes to him, I just cant man. He is the only fighter I tune in for no matter who he fights... I just have soft spot for him thats it.

You are right I mean... this isnt a good matchup, its not what the sport needs... I just want to see Leo healthy and being able to provide... Its weird for me because I usually feel outrage when fighters fight bums... but yeah. I love Leo..

It's gonna be a WAR for however long it lasts.

People love to count out the under dog but this kid is in tremendous shape. He knows he's in with a Top 10 P4P-ounder. This is his Rocky moment.

Every Leo fight is exciting man, I love Leos style. Mini Margarito, huge heart.

For sure, I dont know much about him honestly. I will youtube him now after your description of him. These fighters tend to give it all when the opportunity comes

Not sure it's worthy of it's own thread since I didn't see it myself, but apparently Francesco Patera successfully defended his European title against Marvin Petit with a questionable decision in a fight Petit was apparently doing well in

Actually more news coming in now and sounds like Patera took over the 2nd half of the fight to pull away and deserve a close decision

Is the Juarez fight not on TV?
