Olympic Champion and Three Time World Champion, Julio La Cruz, was stopped today.

I rated him very high and hope he recovers well from this loss. This should be a good lesson for him - you don't just stand in front of your opponent with your hands dropped and rely solely on your speed and reflexes.

Also, great distance deception by the American fighter.

 

repost.

That said he is packing typical Cuban glass. And he deserved that for the lame showboating.

 

If you walk left all the time you will eventually walk into a right hand!

 

The right hand that stopped Cruz here is looking more whipped like a jab and not like a full power punch tbh. Really awkward knock down. Could be a sign he is indeed packing glass although he is moving a bit into the shot.

Still good work from his opponent. If you fight like a arrogant clown with your hands down you deserve getting stopped.
