The two time light heavyweight world amatuer champion was shot in a roadside robbery earlier in the month. Having had surgery to remove a bullet form his hip, La Cruz is now making a recovery. As La Cruz is a boxer who likes to move i think this could really affect his mobility and might not be the same boxer when he comes back.
I was aware that he was wounded and in hospital and by the looks of the title I thought that he died. Hopefully it won't affect him and he'll get back right on the track.
incredibly hard to hit but doesnt seem to be a hard puncher also in his last wsb fight he seemed to have a lot of difficulty dealing with a fighter who just piles on the pressure and might have a suspect chin. In saying that he is one of the most outstanding amatuers iv ever seen and a great pure boxer
Arum? the guy who promotes and insults Rigos style at the same time Oscar? the guy who likes to sign action fighters who make good fights? these guys will be in no hurry to sign him, Cruz is one of the best boxers iv ever seen but he makes Lara look like an aggresive brawler he stays on the outside and runs for the whole fight, jabs and pot shots with the occasional straight thats about it. At least he rarely holds though il give him that his maybe the best pure boxer in the world amatuer and pro. no one will want to sign him though as he would also be the most boring boxer in the world by far and he can't change his style, iv only ever seen him be aggresive against completely overmatched cans. Against anyone who he is wary fighting he runs and potshots
getting robbed and being shot... the man got a little taste of pro boxing already. Seriously, I wish the guy a fast and complete recovery and hope those *******s get caught.
