Amateur pedigree: Cruz’s Advantage

Some Fans Question Whever Cruz (6-0, 3 Kos) has an Experience to Challenge to Challenge a World Title Just Two Years In The Pros. Cruz Says His Amateur Career and Olympic Experience Are Empower For Him To Face Muratalla (23-0, 17 Kos).

Cruz’s Promoter, Isn’t Sure Whether He’ll Challenge Muratalla Next Rank-Promoted Fighter Could Take a Voluntary Defense Heepends Against. It’ll be up to the IBF How to Fight Happens, But There’s A Chance It Could Take Up To A Year.

“I’ve obviously moved Very Quickly Terms of the Professional game. Post-Fight Press Conference Last Saturday Night When Azded He Believes He’s Ready to Challenge for The Ibf Lightweight Title With Less Than 10 Fights A As Professional.

With Cruz’s Long Amateur Career and Olympic Experience, It Would Have Him To Take The Slow Approach to His Pro Career, The Way Many Fighters do?

Olympic Experience Fuels Cruz

I’d probably Say it,” Said Andy When Asked What Grade He Gave Him. “

Muratalla has been a pro for Nine Years and has faced Tevin Farmer and Zir Abdullaev. He looked Good in Both Fights. It’s Unknown How Many Fights Muratalla had an amateur, but it’s safe to say It’s NOWHERE NEAR THE NUMBER CRUZ HAD HAD. He finished His Amateur Career With 140-9 Record.

“With the Fight of You Face, It’s About Challenges, But I’m Come My way.

It’s too bad Andy didn’t Fight Better Opponent Than Mishiro Because He Wasn’t Much Of A Test Him. There are a better contenders in The Lightweight Division, Butir Promoters Wouldn’t Be Eager to Allow Them to Fighter As Talented As Cruz.

For example, it’s unlikely top rank Would the 21-year-old Abdullah Mason Anywhere Near Cruz Because He’s Not Ready, and Maybe He will be.
