Hearn Unsure IF Andy Cruz Will Get Immediate title Shot Against Muratalla

Promoter Eddie Hears Hey His His Fighter, Andy Cruz, IBF Lightweight Champion Muratalla After Knocking Mishiro In The Fifth Round in the Fifth 135-LB Title Eliminator Last At The Theater at The Theater At Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Andy Cruz: Uncrowed King, Denied Title Shot?

What Cruz Showed Last Night Is He’s The Uncrowed King Of The Lightweight Division. He’d Beat All The Top Fighters, Gervonta Davis, Abdullah Mason, and Shakur Stevenson. Muratalla’s Promoters at Top Rank Are Experts At Spotting Talent, and They’ll Know That Cruz Would Beat Him Quite Easily; Hence, They’re Drag Their Feet in Making The Fight Between Them.

Like The Previous Champion Keyshawn Davis, Muratalla Is Vulnerable and Must Protected From Andy Cruz.

Cruz (6-0, 3 kos) is the IBF Mandatory Challenger for The Belt. It’s Believed That The Recently IBF-Elevated Muratalla (23-0, 17 kos) has 9 to 12 months before he Must Must Defend Against Cruz.

The IBF Will How to Be Ordered, But They’ll Likely Likely Likely Likely Take To Take a Voluntary Defense An Easy Fight Before He’s Faced With The Task Of Defending Againt Cruz.

If The 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist Andy Cruz were Popular and It was a Sure-Thing Win Muratalla, Top Rank Would Likely Pull the Fight On The Fight Right Away. It’s Not. Though. Muratalla Lacks A Well-Rounded Game To Have Much Of Any Chance of Beating a Talent Like Cruz.

Protecting Muratalla From Cruz

Raymond Will Have A Puncher’s Chance, and That’s It Against Andy. In other words, He’ll Be in the Same Boat As Hironori Mishiro Was Last Night. He’ll Have A Little More Mishiro, But His Skills Are Just As Limited, And He’ll Be At The Mercy of Cruz.

Top rank Will Know this and Will Muratalla’s Title Defense Against Cruz As Long Aspsible. Wouldn’t be Surprising IF to Thick Squeeze in Two Fights Before He Defends Against Cruz. If they can Get a unification with One of the Champions, They May Even Get Three Fights. I Sense Noes Going To Be Desperation Top Rank’s Part, Knowing That Muratalla has Little Chance of Beating Cruz.

“He’s Now The Mandatory. Obviously, Muratalla has been elevated. So, We Have to Has What Plans He has,” Said Promoter at Eddie Hearn Post-Fight Press ConferenceWhen Asked About Andy Cruz Potentially Challenging For The Title Next Against IBF Lightweight Champion Muratalla.

Hearn is Showing His Naivety Here. Top rank Will Delay Muratalla’s Title Against Andy Cruz As Long Aspsible, Hoping He Will Give Up and Move Away From Taking Thi Fight. IF to Can Stall It Long Enough, Cruz May Opt to Pursue Another Belt or Fighter. I Can Read Top Rank Like A Book. This Will Be A Classic Stall By Them Because They Know That Muratalla Can’t Cruz, and Would Be Madeiro and Omar Salcido When They got Schooled by The Cuban Talent.

Muratalla’s 12-Month Window

“I Don’t Believe HE (Muratalla) has been locked in, but they give him a period of time. “One of the Reasons Why We Wanted this Opportunity Is That We Know The Ibf Will Follow Their Rules, And That’s Very Important To Us When It Comes to Andy Cruz.”

The Period That Muratalla Will Likely Be Given Is 9 to 12 months. So, Top Rank Will For The Full 12-Month Time to Give Their Fighter to Chance to Milk His Title Two to Three Times.

Another Governing Body of Mandate, We Understand That Quite AS The IBF. Ordered.

“IF Hey Does, and Then We Will Fight In The Meantime. But, You Know It’s Inevitable Those Guys, And That One Of The Attractions About This Fighting Eliminator,” Said Hearn.
