Hearn is not sure if Andy Cruz will get an immediate title against Matalla

Promoter Eddie Hearn says he is not sure if his fighter, Andy Cruz, will get an immediate title against Light Champion IBF, Raymond Muratalla, after defeating Hironori Mishiro in the fifth round in an IBF title eliminator on Saturday night at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City.

Andy Cruz: King does not crown, did you deny the title title?

What Cruz showed last night is that he is the king without crowning of the light division. He would have surpassed all the best fighters, Gervonta Davis, Abdullah Mason and Shakur Stevenson. The promoters of Muratalla in Top Rank are experts in detection talent and will know that Cruz would beat him quite easily; Therefore, they will drag their feet to fight with each other.

Like the previous champion Keyshawn Davis, Muratalla is vulnerable and must be protected from Andy Cruz.

Cruz (6-0, 3 kos) is the mandatory IBF challenger for belt. It is believed that the recent IBF-Elevated Muratalla (23-0, 17 kos) has 9 to 12 months before it has to defend itself against Cruz.

The IBF will decide how the fight will be ordered, but it will probably give Muratalla for a long time to take a voluntary defense to make money in an easy struggle before it faces the task of defending Cruz.

If the 2020 Olympic Gold Medal Andy Cruz was popular and a safe victory for Muratalla, the first rank would probably remove the shutter from the fight immediately. It’s not. But. Muzzle lacks a well -rounded game Have a lot of chance to overcome talent like Cruz.

Protect Muratalla de Cruz

Raymond will have a punch opportunity and this is against Andy. In other words, he will be on the same boat as Hironori Mishiro was last night. He will have a little more power like Mishiro, but his skills are so limited and he will be at Mercè de Cruz.

The first range will know and will stop the defense of Matalla’s title against Cruz as long as possible. It would not be amazing if Muratalla would stand in two fights before he defended himself against Cruz. If they can get a unification with one of the champions, they can even get three fights. I feel there will be despair from the top, knowing that Muratalla has little chance of winning Cruz.

“Now is the obligatory. Obviously, Muratalla has been high. So we have to see what plans he has,” said promoter Eddie Hearn in Post-Lluita Press ConferenceWhen asked about Andy Cruz, he can challenge the title next to IBF’s light champion, Raymond Muratalla.

Hearn shows his naivety here. The first rank will delay the defense of Muratalla’s title against Andy Cruz as long as possible, hoping to give up and move away from the struggle. If they can stop it enough time, Cruz may choose to pursue another belt or fighter. I can read the upper rank like a book. This will be a classic stop work because they know that Muratalla cannot beat Cruz and it would look like Mishiro and Omar Salcido when they were schooled by Cuban talent.

The 12 -month window of Matalla

“I don’t think he (Muratalla) has a closed date, but they may be given a period of time when a voluntary defense is allowed,” said Hearn. “One of the reasons why we wanted to take this opportunity is that we know that IBF will follow its rules, and this is very important to us when it comes to Andy Cruz.”

The period that will probably be donated is 9 to 12 months. So the first range will opt for the full time of 12 months to give his fighter the possibility of milking his title two to three times.

“If it were mandatory for another governing body, we understand that sometimes the rules are not as solid as IBF. So, Muratalla high, we believe that it should immediately fight with its obligatory challenger and we would like it to be ordained.

“If you have a defense, it will be a defense and, in the meantime, we will fight. But you know that it is inevitable with these boys, and this was one of the attractions to fight this final eliminator,” said Hearn.
