[JakeNDaBox]

By Jake Donovan - It’s been a big month for featherweight Orlando Cruz. On Friday evening, he made headlines for all of the right reasons after scoring a wide unanimous decision over Jorge Pazos in their Telemundo headliner at the Kissimmee Civic Center in Kissimmee, Florida.

Scores were 118-110 (twice) and 117-111 in favor of Cruz, who made headlines earlier this month in becoming the first openly gay active male boxer.

While the news helped generate more press than is normally afforded for a Telemundo-level fight these days, the two boxers were all business throughout the promotion. Once the opening bell rang, who does what with their personal lives was left in the rearview mirror and it was all about who was the better fighter. [Click Here To Read More]

Cruz used speed and movement he dominated it was fun to watch him clown his opponent

Orlandos antics in the ring was a little over the top for me, It had me cheering for Pazos to drop him.

Cruz is a character....and it takes balls to come out like he did and he is probably strong internally to do that. I hope he goes far. His ring movement and anticipation are excellent. He does best against come forward fighters because he can time them coming in.

Cruz's Footwork

The guy has heart, but man, does he also have excellent footwork and avoidance skills. I'm only a casual viewer, but Cruz has some of the best moves I've seen. The sexuality thing indicates he's strong mentally (it takes balls of brass to come out of the closet) as well as physically

Good win for the gay community in boxing

And Cornelius Lock did it too. Cruz cant compete with the best in the division.

I agree. He's too flamboyant for my liking.
