Santa Cruz says he'd break Rigo down

I like this matchup - and I like Santa Cruz. I think that he's probably right.

Anytime a GB fighter calls out a TR fighter, or a TR fighter calls out a GB fighter, I'm cynical they actually want the fight because they know there is no chance in hell that the fight gets made. For example, Rios carried on how he would knock Matthysse out. All that is bombast because the fight ain't getting made.

To tell you the truth: I don't see anyone at 122 beating Rigo, including Santa Cruz or Mares, if he came down in weight. Rigo looks special. Santa Cruz is good. While we're at it, just to cause an uproar, Donaire knocks Santa Cruz out.

Of course, that's what I was wondering. Completely agree with this all.

Santa Cruz fought a mover a couple of fights back and looked ordinary against him. He doesn't cope well with guys who don't stand in front of him, at least at this stage of his career. He'd lose badly to Rigondeaux and it'd dent his confidence. No way GBP make the fight, they like Rigondeaux even less than Arum does.
