Very nice FNF. Fortuna has looked great except vs Mickey Roman. Cruz is just as tough as Roman and much more awkward and dirty. Good HW cofeature also.

Sapson bringinf JF along ok but Cruz isn't much...2 losses & 2 draws in his past 4 w/no real punch or danger but 4tuna hits hard enough2 take him out...he needs 2 step up the opposition if he's looking 4 a title shot...

Good fight. This is a big step up from Mickey Roman(who he struggled with) if Fortuna wins he's ready for anybody at 130.

And yet ANOTHER fighter with balls who fought a dangerous unbeaten fighter in his last fight and now a seasoned veteran - while fighters like Randy Caballero, Jose Benavidez, and others are given soft touches and spoon fed TBA's.

He fights at 126. He's also supposedly fighting Fernando Saucedo in September, probably on SHOBOX, setting up a fight between him and the Garcia-Caballero winner.
