The 5’4″ ‘Pitbull’ Cruz’s bodily disadvantages in opposition to “El Rayo” Valenzuela (13-2, 9 KOs) might be a fancy stumbling block to beat, doubtlessly factoring into the end result of their co-feature struggle on the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
Pitbull’s Predictability
“Pitbull” Cruz has made his profession profitable in opposition to rivals, whom he dominates in his majority through TKO. Nevertheless, his wins primarily trusted an accumulation of blows, and his stamina and endurance ultimately prevailed. He’s not been the kind of fighter who wins his fights with one punch. He doesn’t possess one-punch energy.
The struggle in opposition to Gervonta Davis was within the minds of many followers and is used as a measure to foretell outcomes in subsequent Cruz fights. Pitbull misplaced by a call.
Some say, ‘Kinds make fights.’ Possibly, however I feel ‘Who imposes his will wins his struggle.’ Sadly, Isaac Cruz is a one-dimensional fighter. He goes ahead for 12 rounds, and that’s the one factor he is aware of how one can do. Some imagine Tank Davis discovered a lesson, however I’m not sure.
Isaac Cruz’s technique is easy: He goes out to search out his opponent and goals to attach as many photographs as doable. He’s a kind of aggressive boxers we wish to see on our TV screens each Saturday. It’s essential to learn to defend your self on this sport, however the Pitbull nook doesn’t imagine it’s crucial to show him.
Valenzuela’s Explosive Energy: A Risk at 140 Kilos
Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela is 13-2-0, and his file exhibits 9 wins by KO-TKO. Nevertheless, 7 of these victories have been by KO, which implies he’s acquired dynamite in his palms. Chris Colbert found how highly effective ‘Rayo’ punches, struggling a sixth-round knockout defeat of their rematch final December.
Cruz vs. Rayo Valenzuela is a struggle between a person who assaults with out hesitation and a puncher who can change the course of the struggle with a single shot.
Along with what we noticed in Rayo’s struggle in opposition to Colbert, “The Lightning” Valenzuela improved his technical expertise. His footwork was decisive, and he completed that struggle with a powerful KO. I imagine that Cruz has by no means confronted a rival with all these bodily benefits and that sort of energy.
This struggle shall be held at 140 kilos, with ‘Pitbull’ Cruz’s WBA tremendous gentle world title on the road. It is going to be Valenzuela’s debut at 140. If “El Rayo” retains his energy of photographs on this new weight class, Pitbull Cruz isn’t the one fighter who will face points with this.
Cruz and Valenzuela defeated former world champion Francisco “El Bandido” Vargas. Isaac Cruz beat him in June 2021 by a ten-round unanimous resolution, whereas Valenzuela destroyed him by a first-round knockout in April 2022.
Though Cruz is the bettering favourite, Valenzuela can finish the competition anytime.
If Valenzuela can stand up to Cruz’s stress from the beginning and manages to maintain him at a handy distance, I don’t doubt that the struggle might have an explosive, upset ending.
