Comments Thread For: Jose Valenzuela upsets Isaac Cruz by split decision to win 140-pound title

[MulaKO]

I do think Cruz won. It was a close fight. Excellent foot work and counter punching by Valenzuela but I thought Cruz effective aggression and landing the harder punches in every round did it for me. I’m not saying robbery or anything like that but this is just my opinion.

And I can respect your opinion but just have a hard time understanding it

Cruz is a fun fighter and I love his attitude , but he's a one trick pony. Coming forward , head down, winging hooks. That's it. It's enough most of the time, it wasn't last night. Rayo surprised me , he fought a smart ,disciplined, tactical fight.

Cruz is too small for 140, at least he got the ultimate gift fight for a belt in the Rolly fight

Oh well back to chasing Tank

yeah he looked like a midget in there, looked like 2 weight divisions apart

Make him fight Barroso.

Barroso got screwed so badly. He should have gotten the shot at Rolly that Cruz got. He will be 106 by the time he finally gets a shot at the belt that Tony Weeks stole from him. That "stoppage" was suspect as hell.

That payday is now gone.

It was never going to happen except in Cruz's dreams.

It didn't surprised me, but had hoped for a miracle. Cabrera already showed the blueprint and to my mind a fight Pitbull lost. But I had hoped Cruz became stronger and learned from such fight and pull another win.

So who is there for Tank Davis now? Is he fighting Valenzuela?

Cruz delivered a subtle masterclass in technical boxing that was so far ahead of its time, other people could not see it, but in 20 years or so time, this will go down as the single greatest boxing performance in history. Nash has a trained eye for this kind of thing. Nash out

Sounds legit. There's definitely a spot for you on the DAZN announcing team. What a great eye and brilliant boxing mind !

Healthy dose of sarcnashism

This belt should be called the PBC 135+ belt. They had to pay to get Rolly a title shot after coming off a loss at 135, then you have the controversial stoppage which the ref himself acknowledged. Rather than fight the #1 ranked 140lb fighter, PBC puts in Cruz to get him out of Tanks division and he comes up from 135 to get a title shot. then finally let's bring Valenzuela up from 135 for a title shot. The 140lb division has plenty of good fighters just not signed to PBC.

Shakur , Zepeda ,or Teofimo are my preferences for Tank , I'm pretty sure that Shakur and Zepeda are fighting each other though. Watch Tank pick Catterall.
