Leo Santa Cruz vs Kiko Martinez Thread

[Lineal]

Martinez made a fight of it for as long as he could. Santa Cruz just held too many advantages.

Hard luck for Ceja. Sure he got caught but he was virtually defenseless without the leg to support him. I would have loved to see this play out. Hopefully a third fight down the line.

When I first saw the Ceja-Ruiz fight I just thought that Ruiz was just on the money at the right time. Ceja was making the classical Joe Louis mistake and finally got caught dropping the left hand after a right which Ceja corrected after he got up. Let us just use the word oops. The fourth round also had him making another correction that cost him earlier with that dropping of the left. He shortened the right and threw straight and threw it straight making his hook hard and brought him closer to Ruiz at the right time without reaching with that looping right which slightly sacrificed his balance and stop eating so many hooks. If he continues next fight with the format he used in the fourth round and makes less mistakes coupled with a little patience so that his right is properly in place defensively we're talking repeat performance.
