27-year old 2000 Puerto Rican Olympian Orlando Cruz (16-0-1, 7 KO) picked up the best win of his career on Friday night at the Million Dollar Elm Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma, battling undefeated power puncher Leonilo Miranda (30-1, 28 KO) on even terms before landing a single, devastating left hand in the fifth to keep the treasured �0� in own loss column. The 26-year old Mexican Miranda never saw it coming but will see clearly as his high standing in the WBC (#8) and WBA (#5) Featherweight ratings is likely to disappear in short order. [details]

Cruz is a pretty good boxer puncher, he just doesnt get the same recognition here in PR as other fighters. Mario Santiago is victim of that also!!!!!!

I'm not descriminatory, but I still can't believe Cruz is gay and he fights like that. That KO was great!!!!!!!!!!

Great win for Cruz.

I don't even know if what you're saying is true, but Panama Al Brown and Emile Griffith are two of the GOAT and both have been fairly well known as gay. Catch up to the 21st century.

It's the second time I said it because it's the second time I say something in a Cruz thread. And i dont give a **** if he's gay, it's just weird.

I watched the fight in a latin chat room called "Extended TV" and a lot of boricuas was calling him "la loca" LOL. No problem here.

I was not being discriminatory anyway, dont know why you get so mad, i just said a something that is True.

That's true. Anyway, what I said is true too.

Cruz is openly gay and thats great for him, in the chatroom that i was watching the fight, before the fight ended puerto ricans wouldn't stop talking about that. Anyway, i will not talk about anymore because it's not a big deal.

Cruz is a great boxer and i wish him the best.
