Another fight similar to the Crawford situation where the elite guy is taking on a tough but nonthreatening opponent.

Santa Cruz by KO. He'll just roll over him I think.

Lets hope the rematch between Ceja and Ruiz kicks off where it ended in the first fight. Ceja was down in the 3rd before stopping Ruiz in the 5th. Ruiz was looking in control up to that point. I'm leaning towards Ceja to repeat but I expect both guys to hit the canvas at some point.

First fight was the best fight for me last year in terms of comeback after being hurt and knocked down.

It really was a nice lil mini war.

Trying to get up for it and Santa Cruz fan but really wish they'd stop these same time head to head cards. Have to admire his work rate and activity, has rode to 3 division champion in such a short amount of time. If he keeps his head with improved boxing he should do a wide number on Martinez.

Good scrap! Martinez totally recouped and buzzed Leo.
