    Who wins on PPV of course.

    Tank sells. Supply vs Demand, economics 101. Tank always brings in $ the #'s don't lie.

    Santa Cruz says he will win a title in his fifth division.

    LSC had El Alacrán problems.

    PPV to watch Tank fight a featherweight? Oh wait, LSC has one fight at 130. Another smaller guy moving up to fight Tank, who could barely make 135 last fight. This is the pathetic $hite sandwich that Tanks fans will gobble up like it’s filet mignon. Hopefully the OP is joking.

    Assuming this fight actually happens, what happened to Tank moving up to fight actual 135lb guys? His first fight was against a 38 year old one legged Gamboa who was way past prime, faded and shot, now we are talking about him fighting a true featherweight moving up to 135. LSC has no punching power and very little chance of winning this fight. Perfect opponent for a protected fighter who could barely make weight last fight and looked bad against a guy he was supposed to steamroll.

    If this is your definition of PPV, you need to demand more. This fight is barely interesting on free TV. PPV? Seriously? Lots of better options at 135 but they aren’t putting Tank in the ring with anyone who has an outside chance of winning. Pathetic fight but it’s about what you can expect from this guy. This has to be a joke, right?

    I would oppose this fight except that I'd enjoy watching LSC get KTFO. I don't like him.

    I think this fight will be closer than people think. Leo has the height and reach to land from the outside.

    LSC will just be a name on Tanks record and his fans will eat it up.

    No interest in this at LW at all but it's almost certainly what we're going to get.

    Tank SAYS he can still make 130.

    Hard to believe considering he missed 135, but he is actually a small guy and shouldnt be missing these weights.

    If its at 130, Id give LSC a good chance, he may be naturally lighter, but he has height and reach on Tank, and, as we saw in Frampton 2, is an under rated boxer.

    Interesting and highly plausible take.

    As for the fight, I think LSC may very well have his hands full with Tank at 135lbs. I suspect that Tank will not have as much one-punch destructive power at lightweight, but I am not sure if Leo's length and volume punching will be enough to keep him at bay.

    So the weight bully Twink is now fighting a blown-up feather weight who has no power, and is a simple straight ahead pressure fighter.

    This cannot possibly be pay-per-view, but I suppose the Mexican fans will buy it.

    LSC is tailor made for Davis. This a KTFO designed to elevate Davis' now diminished status, but it does nothing for his development though.
