I just don't see it, even with the high work rate of Leo's. Russell is faster, has better fundamentals, better foot work and is more powerful with any punch you name.

Does anyone really think Santa Cruz could beat Russell Jr.

Yes I do.
Leo Santa Cruz's merciless machine gun onslaught will leave Gary Russell jr. looking like Andre Berto after the Robert Guerrero fight.
Leo's height & reach advantages + his extremely high work rate and endless gas tank and heart & toughness will be huge factors leading him to a victory.Last edited by REYESdelBOXEO; 05-18-2019, 11:58 PM.

It's always easy to overlook LSC as "too basic" but that steady pressure was even too much for Frampton when Frampton was coming off FOTY accolades. GRG looks flashy and talks a good game but I just don't see him having the same grit as LSC when it comes to a long, tough fight. Not to say it couldn't happen. It would be competitive, but I've learned not to overlook SantaCruz just because there's nothing eye catching about his style.

Wish this fight would happen. Obviously Russell wants it.

LSC has a chance in this fight for sure. GRJ is faster, but often times fights at one pace. Jojo's body shots bothered him some and he was never able to completely separate himself from him.
65/35 GRJ but not a mismatch.
