    Awesome. Shakur should win but I'm pulling for the Mexican Tyson.

    I like Cruz. Would be nice if he pulled it off, but I see Shakur pulling it off. Cruz will have his moments, win 3-4 rounds, with a few close rounds tossed in. People will then say it was the biggest robbery in history and Shakur's team paid off everybody to ensure the win. But it will be a tough but clear win for Shakur.

    On paper, this is a bad style matchup for Shakur. Typically a pressure fighter like Pitbull gives the boxer a hell of a time. It should be interesting, especially for a first fight at 135 for Shakur.

    Shakur's a DOG like SRL. Cruz will have to be relentless to win this fight. Can't wait.

    Because of the different promoters won't this not happen?

    Good fight. Props to Cruz, he’s not afraid to fight anyone. Shakur should win but Cruz will make him work for it. I watched the Tank Cruz again and I’m not sure Tank won that fight. He was fortunate to get his arm raised.

    Decent match up Stevenson should win a UD but I would love to see Pit bull Cruz score the upset and knock Shakur's ugly head off his shoulders.

    Good, solid matchup. Issac Cruz is a badass who fights anyone while many others just avoid the big stage.

    Cruz gives anyone trouble. He is a relentless pressure fighter , has a tight guard, good chin , power, and can keep this up for 12 rnds.

    Will be a very interesting fight. Stevenson favors cause he is the superior boxer without a doubt but I wouldn’t count out the pit bull.

    Southpaw killer Pitbull Cruz claims another victim. Tank didn't have enough pop to keep him off, think about that for a second, Ol' Cinderblock Head Cruz will uproariously guffaw at Shakur's featherdusters.

    Thinking the same thing, calling for a mandatory & actually going through with it is a different case anyway.
