I like Cruz, I think he has a bright future ahead of him. He doesn't get talked about as much as he should. I would support him if he fought Martinez.

This undercard is good.i know he'll be the underdog but im going with cruz.rocky hits hard but his defense is poor.he's the "you hit me i hit you back until someone quits" type of fighter,abandons his defense.cruz,im excited to see if he can hold his own and take a punch.hes heavy handed himself.

wtf is wrong with a rican fighting another rican?

[Tomasio]

This fight was offered to Cruz not long ago & HE(himself) refused it(NOT his team, they were all for it) cause he said that he would like to do 2 or 3 more fights before stepping up against some one like Rocky Martinez, but I guess either the $$$$ they offered him is good or his team finally convinced him that he could beat Martinez or maybe it's a little of both... Cruz seems to have better boxing & defensive skills than Martinez & they both have pop in their punches but Martinez has the experience cause he definitely has faced much better opposition than Cruz & Martinez has shown to have heart & has overcome adversity(especially in the war against Daniel "Azuquita"Jimenez), while Cruz still has to be tested..If it gets done it's should be a good & interesting fight..They are both from here & in this case I don't have a favorite, so I don't really care who wins...

Translation: Good idea to eliminate the trash.

sucks for the ricans,cause I seen this happen before with mexican fighters,and politics usually get in the way and the wrong one wins .then he fights for the title and gets knocked the fuck out! Embarrassing.
it's suppose to be so the better fighter bings home the title but it never works.you better prey theres no favoritism involved or Cruz will get a unnecessary loss on his record and Martinez will go on to lose again and both will have to start all over.sucks for you ricans.
