Great fight, ill ride with JOJO but hes going to have to go through fire to win this fight and the way Cruz looked yesterday thats easier said than done. If i had to pick a winner, id say Cruz by possible late stoppage.
Pitbull is a southpaw killer (Magdaleno, Ramirez and should have a win over Tank), and JoJo will be yet another victim.
Diaz is a good fighter but he no longer has the youth and energy level to hold off a go-get-em guy like Cruz. The Pitbull wins this one.
Diaz is an "old" 29 and has been a pro for a decade. He's not getting better. Cruz more gas in the tank.
Tbf from the second I saw him I knew he had the ideal style to beat a southpaw. He neutralises the jab with good head movement and throws a lovely looping left hook which is perfect to come over the lead shoulder of a southpaw and his overhand right is a perfect follow up to that.
I saw the same thing, and that's precisely why I picked him to upset Tank..... If he only got credit for it.
I scored that fight a draw personally, no way Tank deserved the victory though. He wasn't landing lots clean whereas Pitbull at least landed a good amount of clean shots in the rounds he both won and lost. That fight convinced me of Tank's hypejob status at the very least. No wonder they match him so weakly.
