Normally, I think if you are not a top level pressure fighter or a technician at a similar skill level with the similiar athletic ability to Andy, you are not beating Cruz, Bell likes to fight on the outside which favors Andy more.
But reviewing a bit on Bell's highlights, his record seems, deceptive. He doesn't have a lot of knock outs. Because he doesn't throw much, not because he is lacking in punching power as a threat. When he does, it is alway calculated and he knows how utilize his reach.
If you pressed he throw a short uppercut like Espinoza, and if you retreat he throws a looping punch to catch you to reset, he holds a significant reach which is problematic for Cruz.
Let's see if Andy Cruz high output pace and skill is too superior. He might be coming off a loss, but he has more experience against top 10 in the current lightweight division. Plus 12 round in a high pace tactical bout with Muratalla should help be better prepared for this bout.
