By Rick Reeno
Staples Center, Los Angeles, California - Newly crowned WBA featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz (31-0-1, 17KOs) is very willing to face the WBA interim-champion, Jesus Cuellar (27-1, 21KOs) of Argentina.
Santa Cruz captured the vacant title on Saturday night with a twelve round majority decision over fellow Mexican Abner Mares. The belt became vacant after Nicholas Walters failed to make weight for a June fight with Miguel Marriaga.
Cuellar is the mandatory challenger to Santa Cruz's belt. The fight should be easy enough to make with both fighters being advised by Al Haymon.
Santa Cruz will sit down with his team, which includes Haymon, and map out the best option for his next fight. If Cuellar is presented as the next fight, he will go with Cuellar.
"I'll do whatever and go with whatever my team wants. If a fight with Cuellar is out there, then a fight with Cuellar is out there. If there is a rematch with Mares, I'll go with that. First and foremost I have to sit down with my time and go forward from there," Santa Cruz said.

By Rick Reeno
The Vice President of the World Boxing Association, Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, has ordered that newly crowned WBA featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz (31-0-1, 17KOs) take on mandatory challenger Jesus Cuellar (27-1, 21KOs) of Argentina within the next 18months.
Santa Cruz captured the vacant WBA title on Saturday night with a twelve round majority decision over fellow Mexican Abner Mares. The belt became vacant after Nicholas Walters failed to make weight for a June fight with Miguel Marriaga.
The WBA has now ruled that Santa Cruz is the "super champion" at 126-pounds and Cuellar has been elevated from interim to "regular" champion. Per the rules of the WBA, the two must fight within 18 months time.
The WBA belt was only sanctioned for Santa Cruz vs. Mares a few days prior to the fight.
Mendoza explained: "[It was due] to the path of the boxers. After studying their records and achievements, at our discretion they were among the top five featherweights in the world and were given the opportunity to fight for the super championship."
Santa Cruz vs. Cuellar should be easy enough to make with both fighters being advised by Al Haymon.

Been thinking bout this fight.. and while I dont see the logic in the fight.. fights are not made good or bad on paper.. They gotta happen in the ring.. and with that I think Berto will give a better account of himself than Pacquiao .. Berto can ? ..hes gonna get washed but hes gonna give a valiant effort and make it a better fight that it is on paper..And i want to see the "Artist" paint so while im not hype.. im lookin forward to it and Bertos spirited effort -
I'm not even going half on this fight. Not after the Pacman fight. This ? cashing out
-
? I just collected the rest of the monies to host the fight at my house. It's going down. LolIma order it ? it
