Well good read - but you've really gone out on a limb there.

If Muratella really had zero chance, Robert Garcia would have avoided this fight just like he's avoiding Boots for Vergil. Cruz by UD, 8-4.

Really looking forward to seeing how Cruz looks against a solid opponent.

This could be the upset of the year way early on .

Or not. But it is not impossible.

I know for a Fact that DelaHoya avoided the Flyweight unification match offered to him for Sandoval to fight Olascuaga.
Instead choosing to fight Yafai.

So I wouldn't doubt he's at fault.

But where did you get that it's Him avoiding putting Ortiz in against Ennis ?

The underdog may surprise many people except the people in his camp......Robert Garcia

I see this fight the same way that writer sees it. I cannot believe that Muratalla's handlers have agreed to this fight as his first title defence. I thought they would have chosen to make a bit of money first.

I thought the same thing but that's what makes this fight intriguing - they chose Cruz over other options.

Cruz is the favorite at -200, so if Muratalla won, it wouldn't be that much of an upset.
