Comments Thread For: Santa Cruz Ordered To Face Wood, Goulamirian Must Fight Merhy

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The World Boxing Association has applied a lot of pressure on their WBA 'super' champion at featherweight, Leo Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz has not made a mandatory defense of the featherweight belt since June of 2018. The Mexican boxer had to make a mandatory defense by June of 2020. The last time Santa Cruz defended that title was back in February of 2019.

Wonder if he vacates and just fights Vargas for the WBC belt

I don't think there will be problems making the Santa Cruz vs Vargas fight with or without WBA's blessings.

Someone who can social media this crooked org should ask them why they are not ordering Haney to fight Davis. I can't wait to laugh at the response they get back, if they do. I don't know why Santa Cruz is even bothering with this Wood guy. Who the hell is that?

I wish for a double drop of these trinkets from Leo and Gervonta.

funny how Belt Organization get in the way of the Better fight only to force us to have to see Santa Cruz vs Wood

at this stage in Santa Cruz Career, he shouldn't be force to fight Leigh Wood, he should be in big fights like vs Vargas so if he Drops I totally understand OR he can just take care of Wood while Vargas and Magsayo run it back

lets see what they do with Zurdo and Bivol

I have no doubt it's Santa Cruz the one that is holding things up. He's got history of being diva and having enormous sense of entitlement. He didn't give Frampton his 3rd fight which LSC promised. He demanded a tune up fight before taking on Mares rematch, which was silly. As if Mares was this super dangerous fight when Abner was almost on his way out.

Santa Cruz don't know what to do now. Both Vargas and Wood are dangerous fights for him. Looks like he's lessening his diva-ness on the Wood fight and want to avoid Vargas.

If he doesn’t Wood will vacate and fight Warrington for the IBF.

Either way one of them is dropping a belt I reckon. LSC will probably ask for an exemption from the WBA for a unification with Vargas. If it’s granted Wood vacates, if it’s rejected Santa Cruz will vacate. That’s how I see it anyway.

Wow! Leo Santa Cruz is a cancer to the featherweight division, and to make things worse, that Euro-Bum Leigh Wood may be 'promoted' to 'Super-champion'. It's all bad, that's how these WBA consolidation scenarios usually end-up, just sht.

[brettWall]

Oh wow, they're suddenly in rush to make the Wood fight.

It's more looking like they're avoiding the Vargas fight. Why are these people being prompted all of a sudden?

It's a conspiracy!!
