    Muratalla's Inaugural defense against the former three time amateur world champion and former Olympic gold medalist Andy Cruz. Lightweight is a very good division and this should be an exciting match up. Cruz is the favorite and rightfully so. I reckon he gets the job done in decisive fashion.

    Cruz seems to have elite level skills. Was never that impressed with Muratalla quite honestly. I expect Cruz to win decisively but should be an interesting match up.

    Can’t wait! Cruz will probably cruise but he should get him out of there and make a statement.

    Interesting event, I also think Cruz is the favorite but I wouldn't underestimate Muratalla's greater experience. Coe - Hart could provide an entertaining fight.

    The closer the fight gets the more I'm thinking Cruz might stop him.

    I heard there is a rehydration clause. That will hurt muratalla aswell. The odds are stacked.

    This has an upset written all over it, Cruz is more skilled with superior pedigree but Muratalla has beaten better competition in the pros and Cruz has a suspect chin. He's so defensively good he keeps it hidden

    I have always picked Cruz but he has no power, that's going to matter eventually

    Are you referring to the IBF second day weigh in rules?
