Cruz is a pressure fighter so Haney would have to handle that pressure... his jab is good but he has no power so he wouldn't intimidate Cruz but if he has a very good boxing... how would this fight be
Haney 8-4 Cruz is a pressure fighter but he's not coordinated enough up close to win more than 4 rounds using his regular aggression tactics. Haney will jab him, and land pot shots going backwards, then Cruz will try and jump on him and land a couple shots, Haney will clinch or move out of the way, and this will repeat. It will be an ugly fight It will be a challenge for Haney thats for sure, but he's a level above Davis at least. The Haney fans should be more worried about a robbery than him losing this fight
Cruz is easy work for Haney. Not to mention Haney will just smother Cruz every time he closes the distance.
It's an interesting style match-up, probably more entertaining than Haney vs Kambosos, but if you look at Cruz's other fights you seek his true level which is not high.
