Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, USA. The vacant WBC Silver belt in lightweight (up to 61.2 kg) was played by the Mexicans Isaac Cruz (24-2-1, 17 KOs) and Eduardo Ramirez (27-3-3, 12 KOs). The favorite celebrated the victory.
From the starting gong, the lefty underdog, who until recently boxed in featherweights, had to face very hard pressure. Ramirez rubbed the ropes of the ring with his back, wielded a lot of jab, often clinched.
It’s forbidden to fight “Pitbull” Cruz like that – he must respect your striking power. No other way. In the 2nd round, the slugger knocked down the opponent with a left hook. He was greatly shocked, but wished to continue the fight. A few seconds later, Cruz pinned Ramirez in the corner of the ring and sent him back to the canvas.
The referee immediately stopped the fight.
Cruz TKO 2.
