Excellent performance by Cruz.

I thought Cruz did well, he's definitely up there

Good fight but lettuce have a good discussion on Cruz. I like him he has a lot of tools good IQ. He stays in shape good off his back foot can counter. Has power but not one punch knockout power. It’s going to get interesting who they matchup him up next. Like @patscorpio said I feel he does stay in that second gear too much. I don’t know if he doesn’t know he hurt his opponent or he’s preserving himself. @Electric Ladyland and @UpAndComing what did you guys see?

Philly must be rubbing off on him.

Cruz is still working the kinks. out the power style Boots is teaching him..... he'll be clean in the important fights. These are just tuneups... we want Keyshawn next

I think Andy Cruz is somewhat struggling to adjust to the pro game. He seems he struggles when his opponent gets physical and puts pressure on him. His last fight last year against Moran, he was able to push Cruz around and even caught him with a right hand that made Cruz do the stanky leg. This fight tonight he's improved but I think he's vulnerable in exchanges

Also, not sure why he chose to go with Bozy Ennnis as his trainer. It's making him more reckless on the inside. If he was so concerned with being more offensive and sitting down on his punches, he should have just went with Robert Garcia

Nelson about the get ass beating he’s been asking for

dreams do come true

flawed fighter

good partially but not complete. He is not young so this is his best imo

 

[Electric Ladyland]

Pacheco is gonna show skill levels

one sided fight

 

[patscorpio]

little bit of feeling out round there

 

[Electric Ladyland]

Pacheco controlled the round without swinging a shot
