This will be another good fan-friendly fight. Cesar Seda and Leo Santa Cruz have many KO wins and good KO percentages. These featherweights are fast furious and skilled. Santa Cruz will look to continue his production of high volume punching, while the Puerto Rican native Seda will try to counter Santa Cruz in an exchange. In the end, the pressure of Santa Cruz may prove to be too much.
Prediction: Santa Cruz

A real treat this fight. Mexico vs Puerto Rico! However, these two aren’t your typical Mexican and Puerto Rican boxers. There’s much more class in these fighters. Stylistically speaking, boxers of this level make predictions harder as the fight, in my opinion, can go either way. I’ve seen Seda enough to know that he can create difficulties for Santa Cruz, but I’m gonna have to go with the latter. Mexican-American boxing has advanced tremendously but if there’s one trait that sticks it is that “fight ‘til the death” attitude. I think it is ingrained in them.

Cesar Seda’s only loss was against a previously undefeated fighter in Omar Narvaez. Besides him, he’s only fought tomato cans. Santa Cruz will win by KO.

Leo Santa Cruz has blazed through the Junior Featherweight class, and this fight should not be much different. Cesar Seda is a scrappy little southpaw, looking to put up a good fight against Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is set up to be a star, and he will not be stopped here. Fighters will be scared of Santa Cruz after this fight.
Prediction: Santa Cruz

Leo Santa Cruz has proven himself to be a blue chipper, but make no mistake about it, Cesar Seda will not lay down. This fight should steal the show. Santa Cruz is a whirlwind and is a come-forward, fan-friendly fighter, but he does so with intelligence. Leo needs to use that intelligence as Seda will surly test him, possibly more than any other opponent to date. I still think when the dust settles Santa Cruz, with his work rate and come forward relentlessness, will pull out a close decision.
Prediction Santa Cruz

Leo Santa Cruz is a beast. As Floyd Mayweather suggested earlier this year, he may be a top ten pound-for-pound fighter right now. Well, maybe that’s a bit too much, but he’s well on his way. I think it’s business as usual against Cesar Ceda and I think we will see a mid-rounds KO victory for Santa Cruz
Prediction: Santa Cruz
