Erika Cruz vs. Melissa Esquivel Card on DAZN Tonight

[paulf]

Cruz already has a shiner. Esquivel has a better jab and knows how to put punches together, but she’s visibly bothered by Cruz’s wild style. This might be a good one

[BoxingIsGreat]

Both ladies have a dog.

[GreatMalenko]

WTF is Cruz doing? She's just begging to get lit up with a hook.

[paulf]

Esquivel is a far more sound fighter, but currently getting out hustled by Cruz

[paulf]

Round 4 to Esquivel, currently have it 3-1 Cruz.

like a lot of women’s fights, hard to score

[paulf]

Round 5 all Cruz... can’t miss with her 1-2... Esquivel is not liking the pace. 4-1 Cruz.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Highly skilled and stylish ladies. War Women's Boxing!

[GreatMalenko]

Cruz is making this style work but anyone with decent power is going to blast her out.

[paulf]

Fights a really good example so far of what a difference experience and fighting with confidence makes.

Esquivel is bigger, stronger, far more technically sound, bigger puncher, etc. but she’s just a deer in the headlights for most of this fight. Cruz is just willing herself into winning these rounds.

Cruz is making this style work but anyone with decent power is going to blast her out.

Taylor and Serrano would KO her in a few rounds, for sure.
