Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Leo Santa Cruz: Has anybody's opinion changed?

rigo didn't struggle with amaagasa he dominanted him , and amagasa is way bigger than Santa Cruz, Amagasa also fights big something Santa Cruz doesn't do

i don't know how that changed your opinion at all

LSC would get picked apart by Rigo his too basic

 

I think Rigo will still win it, but with a different strategy than the last fight. The Japanese fighter was large but very slow with his hands. Despite that he was able the land on Rigo. Rigo may have reacted better to those punches in the past so it may have been a surprise to himself! Therefore Rigo will use his legs against LSC more than he planned to prior to his last fight. Good lesson.

 

Rigo would badly outbox him.

 

There is talk of a Lomachenko Vs. Rigo fight at 126.................should be a good fight................

 

Santa Cruz is a pressure fighter when he outclasses people...I don't think he'd be pressuring Rigo. That takes heart and Santa Cruz doesn't have it.

 

Many of you don't realize Compu Box is one or two jokers sitting ringside pushing buttons on what they think they see land. It is comical reading or hearing people cite often inaccurate and fraudulent compu box stats, like there was some type of accurate video ****ysis that took place. They have the same bad view of the action as the judges.

 

Leo and Mares are aimed to fight in the spring

 

Leo is so methodical and at least for me he is not even that exciting to watch. He will come back over and over with the same combination. His body work is pretty good but I'm not sure the way to beat Rigo is to go to the body where he can counter you to death. Rigo is not invincible and has his weaknesses but I don't think that a volume puncher with bad footwork is the style to expose him. I see Rigo by convincing UD, looking a bit tired at the end and losing a couple of rounds but re-arranging Leo face in the process maybe even putting him down with a body counter punch along the way.

 

nope. rigo by UD. but itll be nice to stop leo but the kid is too big.

 

Havent watched the lower divisions other than a few Donaire, Rigo, And LSC highlight but I think one thing people overlook is Rigos power. when youre a counter puncher and you have power you will make your opponent scared to just tru to walk you down. I think LSC output will go down once he tastes Rigos power

 

I agree, he has a high work rate, Compu Box should never be used as evidence for anything landing though. The people who run it have shown themselves to be quite corrupt. Examples such as Mayorga landing forty power punches on Forrest through four rounds in their rematch, or Calzaghe landing 200+ against Hopkins, or Pac's connect total against Clottey were all laughable. The fight videos don't show any of that, and the numbers weren't even close to what actually landed.

 

Its just another avenue to try and sway viewer opinion. You even have writers citing it like it's some type of authoritative source.
