Originally, he just wanted to see the boxers of the same level, but what former featherweight overlord Leo Santa Cruz did not expect was that he was just sitting in his home, but the criticism came from the sky.
Leo St. Cruz was simply following the current WBC featherweight world boxing champion Gary Russell Jr. in the line of defense, only to be surprised to find that his name had appeared several times in the media coverage of the match. Because Gary Russell Jr. didn't waste every opportunity to meet with reporters, and used every time to sarcastically, satirize, and criticize Leo Santa Cruz.
It is often said that things are not three, and even the best temper cannot withstand the stimulation of five times. So Leo St. Cruz decided to speak out. In an interview with reporters, he said that the "sinner" who really made the game impossible for Gary Russell Jr. and himself was not himself, but Gary Russell Jr. himself.
Leo St. Cruz also revealed that Gary Russell Jr. is greedy and that the current WBC featherweight world boxer always wants to make a fortune by playing against him. So much so that every time Al Haimon (founder of the boxing champion promotion company) discussed with the two of them about the possibility of the tournament being held, the negotiations came to nowhere. But when reporters asked Gary Russell Jr. what the offer was, Leo San Cruz cleverly sidestepped the question.
Leo San Cruz told reporters: "I think it's a matter of money, Gary Russell Jr. always wants to get paid too much. As you all know, I don't care much about money, and I can play with him as long as the opportunity is right. But the match negotiations are always stuck. If nothing else, I'm just wondering if Gary Russell Jr. wants to get paid too much or something. How much? Then I don't know. ”
Although Leo San Cruz has not appeared in featherweight boxing for a long time, consider his curry position. And he still holds the WBA Featherweight World Champion Gold Belt (yes, he didn't give up). So, the leo St. Cruz vs. Gary Russell Jr. match is probably still the most meaningful and commercially valuable in the featherweights. It also left O'San Cruz with a glimmer of possibility for his match with Gary Russell Jr. in the interview.
Leo San Cruz told reporters: "A match between the two of us is still possible, maybe you don't know that the two of us have played each other in amateur boxing and I have lost." So ever since I got into professional boxing, I've always wanted him to play one more time. I think I can beat him, and since we're of equal weight, why wouldn't I want to compete with him. It's just that the opportunity is always there, and the game has the possibility of playing. But it's not up to me to decide. ”
In some ways, Leo St. Cruz jr. Gary Russell Jr., Gary Russell Jr. didn't compete in the featherweights for two years for physical health reasons (his own health and his father's health), while Rio Santa Cruz did a little longer, almost three years. But looking at the entire featherweight, these two boxers are still the top existence.
Therefore, boxing fans still hope that Leo St. Cruz and Gary Russell Jr. can put aside the contradictions and fight a world boxing championship in the featherweight, burning a dazzling flame for the featherweight who has been weak in the recent period.
