"Cancer and Cancerous Promoters Can't Keep Good Men Down" LSC vs Frampton 7/30 Showtime Fight Thread

[yawn]

Leo Santa Cruz's father and long time trainer Jose Santa Cruz was diagnosed with bone cancer

Leo Santa Cruz could've been coming into this fight with a heavy heart but

Father Like Son, Jose has been fighting and winning his battle with Cancer

Jose is now able to be back in his son's corner after a successful surgery

Mikey like Jose was once stopped from doing what he loved as a result of a battle with cancer

But Mikey like Jose fought and is now free after 2 years of fighting out the ring to finally fight in it

Frampton coming off his biggest victory and taking over the UK lower weights has set his sights on America

Can the UK's lower weight take a bite of the Big Apple or will he go down in a tornado of punches?

Used to dislike LSC

tbh I still dislike him
but I think of him as a better fighter ever since his Mares fight, I think he will win this on an ugly one

well he should be facing someone his own size but you know...he ducked that person his own size

It could be worst...

At least LSC is fighting the #2 ring ranked Jr Featherweight... Who is undefeated N coming off a career W

I mean he could be dragging up the Monroe Jr's, Rosados, Adama, Ishidas of the division

Mikey is a legit talent unfortunately who has a lackadaisical approach to boxing....him and his brother had this problem

Plenty of full length fights on YouTube, dude is a HOF talent who fought on HBO, not hard to miss

After Framptons last performance I think he loses this

Mikey's potential is limitless. He said he's been in shape these 2 1/2 years but any and everyone who talks about him says how much he doesn't really care for the sport that much so we'll see. What I'm worried about is him jumping to 140 and 147 too quick chasing the money.

Though I think he could succeed there, fighting at 130, then doing nothing for almost 3 years and just hopping into bigger weight classes is a recipe for disaster. Hopefully he takes two fights at 135 before going to 140, and takes two tune-ups at 140 before stepping in with someone properly dangerous.

I just have this fear he's going to rush it now that he's finally back to make up for lost dollars and throw himself into a hopeless situation.
