Leo Santa Cruz vs Kiko Martinez Thread

[Spicoli]

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.

I caught some of it, but left to watch the Crawford-Lundy fight. I hate these head-to-heads also.

Anyway, super impressed at how Martinez, being much shorter and giving away tons of arm length, made a fight of it. Gave Santa Cruz all he could handle and then some. Bloodied his nose and rocked him pretty good. But in the end it was too much firepower from Leo. Best of the three fights I watched (including both on HBO).

Why do the TV companies show big fights at the same time? No business sense to do that, they should schedule the fights the following week. Idiots just disrespecting the boxing fans.

Yeah. All it does is piss us off. Drought followed by flooding and then another drought.
Those responsible for this scheduling should be starved for a week.... then force fed through every available orifice.... then starved some more.

I bet it is the same genius that decided to give Floyd a multi million dollar contract for boring the crap out of us for the few years.

I'm watching this now. I think Martinez is shot but even so I think Santa Cruz batters Frampton if they fight next. Haven't seen the Frampton fight yet but it sounds like he wasn't very impressive once Quigg got going.
