I don't see anything special in Andy Cruz.
Good bending, nothing more special, he is a good fighter, not an elite one...
ANOTHER Robeisy Ramirez....
Only Lara and Rigo did well in the pros...

Great technical chess match. Raymond Muratalla defeats Andy Cruz convincingly, even if one of the scorecards felt a bit off. A lot of people underestimated Muratalla. He can box quite well and works with one of the best trainers around. Will keep a eye on both since both put very good entertaining performances, like in fights such as Stevenson vs Zepeda, Martinez vs Mbilli, and Mason vs Noakes.
One loss shouldn’t affect his plans on the future losing to a top lightweight. Both will gets things to improve to excel further from this fight in the future.Last edited by Malvado; 01-25-2026, 01:17 AM.Comment

Good close fight, andy cruz took his foot off the gas in certain spots, sitting on the ropes giving away parts of the rounds. Muratalla applied consistent pressure although alot of the shots weren't landing.
Like to see muratalla against another champ and Andy still has plenty of time to get a beltComment

Both are winners. Cruz dared to become great fell short. Muratalla showed he is live dog. Great fight overallComment

In boxing, there's a world of difference between amateur and professional. Cruz remained an amateur too long, like Zou Shiming. This always complicates the transition for a professional fighter.
At this stage, Keyshaw Davis is much more complete than Andy Cruz.Comment
