Why Is Matchroom Promoter Eddie Hearn Slow-Rolling Andy Cruz?

2020 Olympic Gold Medalist Andy Cruz Turns 30 Today, and Still Does a Fight Scheduled for His Next Contest.

Matchroom Promoter Eddie Hearn Needs To Speed Up The Career of Andy Cruz and Give Him The Same Track Movement That We’re Seeing Fighters at 135 And in Other Divisions. Cruz Isn’t Being Given The Same Golden Path Royalty Treatment That We’re Seeing Hearn Provide For The Painfully Boring To Watch Shakur Stevenson.

Comparing Cruz’s and Stevenson’s Paths

Andy Should Be Getting The Big Fights Him That Less That Less Like Shakur Stevenson Are Routinely Provided By Hearn. He Signed Cruz in Matchroom 2023, And He’s Langing What has been for Shakur Shakur Semce Hearner in Hearn 2024. Why Is That?

Cruz (6-0, 3 stars) Last Fought on June 14th, knocking out Hironori Mishiro in the Fifth Round in an Ibf Lightweight title eliminator. He Hoped Hoped to Challenge for a World Title Against The Recently Elevated IBF 135-LB Champion Raymond Muratalla, But He’s Reportedly Making a Voluntary Defense in His Next Fight.

There are the prospect of Cruz Possibly Facing William Zepeda in Saudi Arabia. However, Cruz’s Promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom, hasn’t Said Anything About Pursuing That Fight.

IF It Were Word Fans to Compare Cruz’s Performance The Volume Puncher Zepeda (33-1, 27 Kos) to Shakur Stevenson, Who Had A Massive Problem Defeating Him On Him On July 12th Card Dazn ppv In Queens, New York.

IF Cruz Can Do Defeating Zepeda Than Shakur Did, Not The Heavily Promoted Newark, New Jersey Native Stevenson, Who Came Up Short in the 2016 Olympics Against Romeisy Ramirez.

Shakur Earned 12-round Unanimous Decision, But IF The Fight was scored by The Three Judges As IF It Were An Amateur Fight Involving Only Headshots Being Counced, and Ignored Body Shots. The numerous body Shots Landed by Zepeda Did’t Appear to Be Factored Into The Scoring By The Three. It was Just The Small Number of Headshots Shakur Landed.
