Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Jr. seeking title unification with Isaac Cruz

[Willy_Hagler_3:16]

Not sure who wins, but Cruz will give Lopez hell.

I think Lopez would use a lot of movement and fight "scared" like he accused Ortiz and Martin when he fought them.

Did Subriel Matias die ? Nobody says his name now.

Liam Paro took that belt! Surprisingly so at that!

Teo is now a twelve round fighter. He has no more power left at 140. There’s no way I can see him stopping “Pit Bull” within the distance. Besides, Isaac Cruz has a very good chin too. He’s very hard to hurt.

He beat little Tanky too and got robbed. Cruz makes all this guy's mental issues come back...

Did you even watch that Tank fight. World champion idiot speak.

why is it idiot speak? i dont pay that much attention to compubox but it did have pitbull outlanding tank in 6 rounds, was it wrong do u think?

Notice how no matter who fights Pitbull, even Tank, they do so going backwards, while Pitbull is always marching forward. Even Rolly, who has flat head ree-toddid ppl strength, was in flight the whole night against Pitbull. Anyone wanna comment on why this might be?

Props to Teofimo for calling for the Pitbull Cruz fight. He mist be surer than I am that he can win it. Definitely will be a good fight.

Because Cruz operates in a straight line and marches forward in a high guard, he invites his opponent to try and penetrate his defense. His style forces the opponent to engage, and if they can't stop Cruz's forward momentum, they wind up having to move and reset to their optimal range. If Cruz manages to close distance and create an in-fight, his short stature and short arms become advantageous. Cruz isn't unbeatable, but he presents certain challenges that not every fighter is equipped to properly handle. He's the Joe Joyce of the LWs. He can be outmaneuvered by someone who's fleet-footed, and will eventually be hurt by a big puncher.....but his tenacity makes him entertaining to watch.

Cruz isn't even close to joe joyce in style. Are u implying that he's slow, or because of the constant pressure? He's not lightning fast, but he's also not wasting any time, he's always right in front of you, always looking to crack your ribs or yourr face with hard punches, so you have no time to think or rest. You either fight him toe to toe, or try to box and move. The thing is, he's eagerly looking for a hard fight, and he doesn't seem to care who it is, or how hard they punch, whereas many guys aren't trying to fight from bell to bell like that. He's also NOT easy to hit clean or consistently. And so far, his chin is made of iron. He doesn't visibly react to getting hit, and his facial expression never changes. And even with his aggressive style, you never see him with mouth wide open gasping for air. He's extra rugged, game to the core, and damned near impossible to hurt or discourage, just like a real pit bull. That name fits him perfectly

Well, its a popular fight for them both to fight each other. Easy win for Teo. Like to see him fight Haney but Haney isnt interested in risking it again.
