Comments Thread For: Projecting 'Pitbull': How Good Is Mexico's Newest Champion?

[ramses07]

I actually think he's good, he just needs to stick to 135.

He knocked out Rolly but he swallowed several big punches also. Any other with a bigger power than Rolly could put him in a bad situation...

Will always root against him until he drops Gibbons. Maybe even if he drops Gibbons I would still root against him just for partnering with him in the first place.

He will be a fun watch until his chin gets cracked which by the way he eat shots shouldn’t be very long at all. Man is another CTE case waiting to happen the way he eats punches.

Still not sure. Romero isn't great and Cruz hasn't fought any threats since losing to Davis. Romero was a cool win but he's not top 5 in any division.

Good enough to show Mexican Americans what a real Mexican champion looks like. I wish him all the best, he unlike the other pretender has a real warriors’ heart and has had to take the blue collar route to his championship

Funny when an obviously biased fan such as yourself wants to call it a lame injury excuse, but meanwhile Pitbull himself is quoted as saying “It was right around the fifth round I saw that his hand wasn't working correctly," Cruz said through an interpreter.”
Even if Cruz didn’t say that, it doesn’t take a genius to see that Tanks hand was injured and he primarily relied on his right hand for the vast majority of the fight.

Be that as it may, when asked if he'd give Cruz a rematch, Davis replied emphatically, "Hell no!!"

He is like Juan Urango but a bit better.

[Knuckle sandwich]

He'll have alot of problems when someone can actually use a decent spiteful jab on him. He's done well, good luck to him.

maybe the question should be how bad was mexico's latest victim (rolly)

Rolly isn’t Mexican he’s a Cuban mutt. Or some kind of island mutt.
