    He would be more exciting if he hit harder but I think he is fun to watch. To me grabbers who wrestle, clinch and maul like Ward, Broner, Berto and Horn are boring. Santa Cruz is always throwing punches and rarely holds. I like that.

      I don't have a problem with Lomachenko's opposition or his style. But when he was on his stretch of fighting guys like Sosa, his fights got redundant and boring to me. Just him turning the guy over and over and hitting him at will but not putting them out.

        I enjoyed the last PBC show, watching the super tall lanky dude was funny, Fig Molina was a slugfest. Half way through the main event, I turned it off. Every round was basically the same thing, with Santa Cruz cruising to an easy decision, no drama.

          Boring fighter, I wish he fought rigo. He fought mares in a rematch that wasn't asked for. 3 years later TF!

            I think he can be fun but he just needs to step up his opposition. Never see him in a 50/50 fight. The Frampton fights were pretty nice but it's been one dull affair after another since. Throw him in with the other champs or push him to 130. Anything at this point is better than what he's been doing.

                He just needs a good dance partner, for instance when he fought Frampton when Frampton was still at the top of his game they were really exciting, the guy he fought over the weekend, not so much. He spent too long on the bench before that too, I don't like it when a guy who's supposed to be one of the top fighters in his division spends so long inactive unless he's got a good excuse. Hopefully he can get some good fights made quickly this time.

                  first he use to shake his fist now he touches his belt line...that's the only thing i can remember because all the rounds start to run into each other.

                    Not a big fan of his, like some already pointed out he is quite boring and repetitive. He is lucky he is latino. If he was black he would be like Rigo.

                      I like him and his style. Not the best power but he does have more finishes than decisions. There can be some potentially real entertaining bouts with him when facing a certain fighter, I believe him vs Warrington for example should be a fun one, would it happen
