This content is protected Not gonna lie, I think this a ****ing great fight. Who wins? I got Cruz but it's a 50-50
Russell Jr beats Santa Cruz 99 out of 100 times. But there might be up to a 50% chance that their first fight is that 1 out of 100 times LSC takes it.
Lsc has never fought an elite fighter. He is making millions fighting b-level fighters or lower. I dont think any thing will change. Mares and Frampton are not elite fighters. Lets not forget he ducked Rigo. He will probably duck Gary Russell jr. He is probably the most protected world champion in Al Haymons whole stable. Now that Rigo is with Pbc the fight can be made. Old ass Rigo still knocks him out and Lsc is a very good fighter but not elite.
I like LSC, but GRJ would beat him imo. Tank would destroy him as badly as he would have done Mares, Cuellar style.
