Ivan Redkach vs Luis Cruz RBR

It was televised, you didn't miss much though, it was a very close fight with Castillo scoring an early kd but not doing much else in a very sloppy uneventful fight.

 

Yeah, I went by Oddschecker, who often put the broadcast start time as the cutoff.

Funnily enough, I actually thought for some reason this was tomorrow (http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=563788 - hence why I had to close the poll thread, since it was set to end on Wednesday night at 9pm EST) - and failed to make the connection that in fact tonight is the 19th when making the vBookie thread. atsch

Nobody voted anyway. :conf

 

Redkach - Cruz

1: 10:9
2: 8:10
3: 9:10
4: 9.10
5: 9:10
6: 9:10
7: 9:10
8: 10:9

Only 10:9, because Cruz beat him up until the KD.

 

Redkach finally connected on that big left uppercut.

10-8 Redkach

 

Cruz stunned in the ninth with over a minute left...getting caught on the ropes more often now. Legs depleted?

 

Good analysis by the commentators. If he wants to avoid being KTFO late Cruz needs to keep that right hand up to defend against Redkach's left. "Hold that phone".

 

...another KD at the end of the ninth, but this one kind of iffy. Not authoritative like the one in the eighth. Cuffing right hook did land, but more of a push as Cruz was trying for a clinch.

9: 10:8

 

another questionable knockdown

 

I think Cruz has some seriously heavy legs at the moment.

 

Either way, that is two pivotal 10-8 rounds for Redkach, could be difference makers depending on how judges saw the rounds where nobody got dropped (seems to have been a boxing lesson from Cruz for the most part, but you never can tell, pro judges do love aggression, sometimes disregarding effectiveness :think)
