Redkach is chucking wild left uppercuts and his right hook is just getting winged in almost slapping fashion with no follow-through and no turn of the hip.
Cruz is tattooing Redkach with the 1-2, double jab & cross, and the straight right hand lead by itself, and exiting the center lane as soon as he lands each time. Very alert, composed performance, getting off and not getting too greedy, ducking most of Redkach's high & wide southpaw hooks before they've even made it halfway to him.

So was Davis vs. Castillo not televised or was it on before Aleem vs. Cepeda when you picked this up, Drew?
Yeah, and his movement - again, subtle, nothing exorbitant, but proving very effective to stymie the man in front of him. Well-timed baby-steps, a shuffle here and there, a casual duck & weave...

Redkach had a little success late in the seventh, tagging Cruz with consecutive right hooks as he managed to post up at close range with his legs spread to meet Cruz's attempts to bypass him. Then he tried chasing him into a corner and lost his momentum before it could amount to stealing a 10-9.
On before I picked it up. Heard it was pretty good, but didn't see it. Cruz is keeping this in ring centre and Redkach can't live with Luis over there. BTW, what happened to the vbookie thread. I tried to put 25 on Cruz, but it was closed...
