Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz Eyes Rigondeaux: I'm Not Afraid of Him!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC super bantamweight champion Leo Santa Cruz (27-0-1, 15KOs) has no fear of his division's boogeyman, WBA/WBO kingpin Guillermo Rigondeaux (14-0, 9KOs).

Santa Cruz must first defend his world title against big underdog Manuel Roman (17-2-3, 6KOs) on September 13th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight will be part of the Mayweather-Maidana Showtime Pay-Per-View undercard.

Rigondeaux, a two-time Olympic gold medal winner, recently became a partial free agent after his contract with Top Rank expired. He is still promoted by Caribe Promotions, who certainly won't stand in the way of a fight with Santa Cruz.

Hahahahahaha.

He is scared ****less. Rigo offered him the fight and LSC is fighting a pizza delivery man next instead.

[johnm is...]

All he'll do is "eye" him. He certainly doesn't seem interested in fighting him.

[jas]

rigo would destroy lsc

[MDPopescu]

Leo, call Rigo in two years from now -- he would be shot by then or even retired.

Lolololol. Meanwhile #93 is fighting him on a ppv. Floyd got nothing on this cherry picker

[SnakeVen0m]

It's so easy to be outspoken when you're already booked. Why didn't he speak up like this prior to him having an opponent?!?

LSC has GB who can buy judges in any case to get the win over Rigo. Rigo is a defensive fighter and Leo can move forward and get the fight with dirty judges as Levi martinez. They did it this to Lara and surely they can do it again. He shouldnt be afraid of Rigo with his daddy De la Hoya on his side

[racostaa]

Basically LSC is saying he is not afraid but his team is afraid. His team doen''t believe he can win Rigo
