Much respect to Eric. The guy took a beating & showed good heart for as long as the fight lasted. Santa Cruz impressed me though. He won't be easy to dethrone.

Props to Morel for making it a nice high paced back & forth fight, hes a tough vet but those early, solid body shots wore em down hard. He was an awesome test for Santa Cruz. This kid is a really good fighter.
