Raymond Muratalla vs. Andy Cruz Gomez & Khalil Coe vs. Jesse Hart + Madrimov vs. Salazar RBR.

I thought they would give it to Cruz

 

pull up the post i where i did that. do it. have the balls to face your delusions. if youre just gonna make up things im saying, then wtf you need me for? argue with yourself and leave me out of it.
your insecurity is off the charts, dude. anything that even resembles a difference of opinion threatens the hell out of you. get some professional help.

 

118-110, I don’t like it, it doesn’t surprise me.

Was hoping for Cruz, I felt like it was a losing battle with the size of Muratalla, just a step too far for his talents. Muratalla was excellent though and I can see him winning as there were a few swing rounds for me. Both fighters fought to the game plan, the trainers did a great job, Robert Garcia is really maximising Muratalla, he was able to maintain a presence, good footwork, cutting off the ring, body work, big fan of his lead left hook and fast combinations when he lets them go.

Comparisons can be made to Loma vs Lopez and potentially Stevenson vs Lopez with the step up in weight, Muratalla is accurate, strong and composed. He will continue to be a problem in a very strong division.

I’d like Cruz to get another opportunity by the end of the year, that will definitely not be given to him, he could be frozen out, also Muratalla is likely to move up by that time.

Plenty of fights for both, Muratalla vs Roach, Cruz vs Keyshawn Davis Is my preference. Hugely anticipating next weeks match up to see how that shapes up. Oh Tank, there are so many words I could say, I hope the others continue to show him how it should be done.

 

Robert Garcia is some trainer.

 

I thought that Andy Cruz nicked it but it was a good fight and I don't mind Muratalla getting the decision. 118-110 is absurd though.

 

Picked another upset. Damn, well played

116-113 Muratalla

This was an excellent fight. Muratalla's activity was the main factor for his victory. Even though Cruz was on outside for most of the fight, his main range of attack, it greatly hindered him, as Muratalla, with his longer reach kept him out of punching distance. Cruz fought terrifically. Hopefully he remains at 135 as there a ton of great fights to make.

 

I didn't like the judges in the two most important matches. 96-92 for Coe is unacceptable in my opinion, I don't agree with the 95-93 either, but I don't know how 4 points for Coe can be allowed. Also, a fighter who doesn't make weight by almost 8 pounds is unprofessional in my opinion.

In the main event 118-110 for Muratalla, I can't understand it, in some ways, it reminded me of the 118-110 Hagler-Leonard score (I had 115-113 for Sugar Ray). Here, I think a 115-113 for Muratalla could have been acceptable, but 118-110 was too wide in my opinion.

 

Muratalla is American, Cruz is Cuban.

 

Had it 7 - 5 Muratalla. Even after ten, Cruz really let it slip in those last two rounds. Didn’t help that Muratalla looked a weight class or two above.

Would like to see Shakur vs Muratalla, Mason vs Schofield, then winner vs winner.

 

Muratella won. Well done to him. A little sad for me as I was hoping Cruz was something he isn't (top 5 P4p talent).

 

I watched the first 5 then woke up and watched the DAZN YT highlights. Cruz has skills and ability but came in untested at the top pro level

I hope he can learn from this and get better. I remember Andre dirrel sort of throwing away the froch fight but then coming back stronger vs Abraham

Im kind of hoping thats what happens because he has awesome foot work and combinations. He just lacks ring generalship and needs to sit on the shots more but I think he still has the goods

 

Hart and cruz robbed

 

Cruz would need a bare minimum 7 rnds. if you are saying Cruz won, post the 7 rnds he won. He clearly lost 11 and 12. So that means he won 7 of the first 10 rnds. Show me those 7 rnds .
