shakur, tank, mason and noakes are busy. the best contenders left are cruz and schofield, incidentally the best ranked ibf contenders too. let's compliment ibf and fighters when they deserve it. whoever muratalla chooses between those two, it would be great. defeat both of them and he's #1.

Obviously scared ****less of facing the Cuban. He'd rather lose to Schoefield.

Two good fights. I'm a fan of Muratalla, but man...both are going to try to blitz him early I'm thinking.

For what it's worth, I thought the opponent in Cruz's last fight found a good angle and landed a couple of right hands, maybe one got Cruz's attention. I remember thinking that Muratalla could probably get himself into similar positions and try the same shot - but it's the return fire Raymond struggles with.

Swerving the mando.
