    Cruz don't deserve a rematch he is boring as phuk and everyone knows he lost. He's not a big draw as you can see by the crowd in his own hometown. no upside in doing it again. Roach has a future in the sport Cruz doesn't move on to a better fight. If they must fight again it ain't going to be in puerto rico with bogus refs should be in roach backyard.

        Roach was lucky to get a draw.

          I like Roach as a prospect but hopefully tonight was a good learning experience. You have to let your hands go and not wait for the opponent.

          Roach is younger, faster, and has better skills than Cruz but Cruz has way more savy, and craftiness.

          That Ref did a horrible job in the 9th round and that was a clear knock down but to little to late now.

          Roach needs to get it past cruise control and go full throttle down the line especially as Golden Boy tests him more and more.

            I missed most of the card, but caught some of it during my gym workout. I was suprised the arena was soo empty, usually any fight gets a full crowd, but some of it had to do with the power going out in the island. It wasnt an entertaining show though from what i was seeing. Not upset i missed it.

              Draw seemed appropriate. Roach was kind of exposed by a chinny fighter on his last legs. He was hit way too cleanly by the smaller Cruz and seemed unsure of himself on many occasions. Even without the electricity issues you would have seen a small turnout. Judging by online comments in the build up of the fight, Cruz is viewed as a washed up fighter on his way out by knowledgeable fans on the island. After the way Flanagan blew Cruz away this was kind of a fail on Roach's hype train.

                  Man I did! I’m excited about the video replay, and hope the WBC and others continue it in all title fights and at least eliminators

                    true that should be used for title fights and such.... but not regular fights etc

                      I agree Big, I think the more it is used and refined it will become implemented.
                      Don’t you think it will make the ref pay closer attention? He’d look like schit if he gets call(s) wrong! Gotta be added tension for him
