Just hand CST an easy defense...!!! I said it earlier that Abuffy and the mob would start controlling the league, and now you're practically giving CST another win...!!! How much did they pay you...??? I will triple, no, make that double it...!!!
Exactly....I wouldn't rule out a stoppage win for Mares either. Add to that Santa Cruz is moving up in weight and judging by his last bout at 124.5 his power is basically nil so it probably won't be any better at 1.5 more. Mares will do a number on him.:deal Finally someone other than a Mexican cab driver for Leo and it won't end well.
It's almost a pickem to me, yes LSC is protected, do you think they'd cash him out on this one, answer no to me
I don't think Haymon has a choice, he's trying to get bas many viewers as possible so he's making the best matches he can, I think Porter-Broner blew up in his face earlier but he doesn't have a choice, he wants to keep people interested in PBC so he's going to continue this thrend no matter what the long term effect it may have.
My prediction: Round 1....Feel out round for Mares, yeah he's had fight since his loss, but he will be patient. Round 2-7 Mares gradually picks up the intensity, scoring a flash knockdown somewhere in either rounds 5 or 7. Round 8 Mares with a brutal onslaught to the body and head sends LSC down again Rounds 9-11 LSC gamely tries to get back in the fight, but Mares cautiously defends himself Round 12. LSC comes out guns blazing, tires out and gets annihilated the last minute of the round/fight. Scorecards: 120-106 Mares 119-107 Mares 119-108 Mares
