Showtime: Santa Cruz v Mares II and Charlo v Trout / Crawford-Horn

Horn running out of steam at the end of eight. Crawford pouring it on and nearly had him out of there. Massive shot on the bell almost had him down.

Spring is out of Horn's legs. Horn down! Ref lets him go on but stopped!

Horn was better than I expected but Crawford is the bollocks. Byrd did a good job stopping it when he did. A British stoppage!

Awesome opening round. Mares looks good. Another west coast Vazquez Marquez trilogy?

Ok to be clear I like Cruz always have but mares is my boy. I’m pulling for him but that may be the kiss of death

I've got Mares up two at the end of two. It's going to be down to the judges here. Can Mares keep this up? Santa Cruz not producing the volume.

Gotta respect Santa Cruz road to the riches and story. Mares looks stronger early. Point deduct for the Arthur Fonzarelli hair though. Nice counters by Leo mid 3rd

Santa Cruz better 3rd much sharper, Mares winding up late. Damn fine scrap early.

Good job by Santa Cruz catching him coming in and going away in 4th. Mares looks bit sluggish all the sudden. They show Mares highlights :-X.

I admire his hair. I have almost no hair now. Mares looking good. Santa Cruz not the offensive output machinr he used to be and mares has amazing balance and skills to counteract the size and reach.

Have 3-2 Santa Cruz able to fight both directions. He keeps his head he's a sharp little puncher. Mares getting caught bad in these mixes in 6th. Fun fight!

U and farhood are judging the same

That alone is scary shit ;D. See Santa Cruz boxing his ears last few rounds. Dude is beating him to the punch, all sizes. Mares has to mash the gas.

Trilogy not looking like a good bet.

5-3 Santa Cruz. Mares stepping it up in 6th. Solid headbutt by Mares. Shocked.
