Supposedly the rematch is being ordered as santa Cruz's next fight. I like this fight actually. The first fight was good, and Mares looked good in his last fight. Featherweight is a solid division. This definitely isn't a gimme for santa Cruz.

Any way you mix the guys at 126 makes for fun fights. I think Santa Cruz still holds the advantage although Mares rebounded well against Cuellar. Mares can still pull off the win tho as this is no gimme for Leo.
Mares started like a house on fire and I thought he was going to win the first time they met. It was action packed but I can not see Mares winning.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I think that Mares will box in this one and not come forward so much. He had a ton of success against cuellar boxing. We did see that Santa Cruz has some good boxing abilities too though. I actually thought that Mares was going to win the first fight. Cruz has really impressed me lately.
There are just so many fights to be made at featherweight. Between frampton, Cruz, mares, Valdez, Selby, and quigg. There are also a few other decent fighters. Hopefully everyone starts getting into the mix.
And because there are so many good fighters there, that's why I'm not so worried about a third fight between Cruz and frampton. They have so many other good fights that could happen.
I also picked Mares to win the first. I just thought he was the more versatile fighter. I think this one could go either way.
I let the heart get the better of me and really thought Cuellar would take Mares after long layoff but Mares stepped up for a good rebound. Best fighting the best is all a division can hope for. To me Santa Cruz is one of the more refreshing runs in boxing. Massive charisma and all around good guy appeal and blew the doors off showing he is indeed very capable of switching up styles and pace at a high tier.
How time flies. Didn't Mares just get a cush job on Prime and he has to do this? Turns out we're getting a highly anticipated trilogy between these two that zero fans asked for. Mare's eye is fooked after multiple detached retinas, anyone involved in making this one should have a paper bag over their head at announcement. Including Haymon and the "the savior of boxing" Turki fella. But money talks right. Shameful.
it's not happening, at least not yet
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
