    Garcia doesn’t know how to use the jab very well. He’s left hook happy.

    Garcia is also a dumb fighter. Physically talented, but dumb. His bootleg Philly shell is going to get him in trouble with Cruz.

    I think Cruz has a great chance to knock Garcia out.

    I reckon Ramierez is custom made for Haney. Inactive, past peak, with not great foot work. I imagine Ramierez probably finds himself out of position all night.

    Agreed that Garcia v Cruz is 50-50.

    I think pitbull has a very good chance and if the odds favor Garcia, which I think they will, I'll drop some cash on the Pitbull.

    It’s possible
    I’m rooting for Pitbull
    I hope he sparks racist punk arse Ryan out!
    He could use a good humbling.

    You say that, but it's Ryan who's evolved the Mayweather Philly shell defence by shoulder-rolling to the point that he's facing away from his opponent.

    Cruz is a perfect KO candidate for Garcia. A midget who keeps coming forward swinging wild.

    Fat finger me misclicked. Meant RyGa but voted Pitbull. Size disparities going to be enormous and RyGa is also much faster and longer.

    RyGa stoppage actually

    KingRy lands a lot of leather on the down syndrome kid.

    Down syndrome kid has a granite chin and keeps coming,

    Downey starts taking over in later rounds but not enough to get the win, King Ry too tough to get stopped.

    King Ry wins a close but competitive decision

    Pretty low, Pitbull's specialty is southpaw killing, and even that let him down against Jose Valenzuela. Primarily because the cinder block headed munchkin was feeling those heavy counters he was walking into, in a division that he's not accustomed to tasting that kind of power in. However the fact that it was spindly and scrawny Valenzuela's debut in the division and not Cruz's, should be worrying to all of the Pitbull backers here. Because you know damn good and well he's not going to like walking into that mousetrap like savage and most likely flush left hook of Kingry, who quite frankly is massive and should be fighting at welterweight, one little bit. Which will make him start overthinking, make him apprehensive and also get him knocked the **** out. Because thinking isn't Pitbull Cruz's strong suit.

    It´s crazy that in two back to back fights, the referees have been so incompetent. How did they let him get away with turning his back to his opponent so often?
    Every time Garcia needed a break, he would just turn his back towards the opponent and the ref would run to save his ass.

    If Ryan is fit and counter punches effectively I don't see him losing. He is bigger than Cruz and should be able to keep him honest, if not, crack that chin. But if Garcia is unprepared and has no game plan, he might be in trouble.
