[Boxing] Pitbull Cruz vs Nestor Bravo - Interem WBC 140-lb Title - Sept.19

[bisdak40]

Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz will defend his title against Nestor Bravo this weekend, September 19.
This would be an exciting fight as we all knew Pitbull who is always aggressive in his all fights.
I'll be watching this because there is a chance that if Pitbull will win this one, he could have a shot at Ryan Garcia as the latter was saying in one of his interviews that he love to be back in the ring this December or January against Pitbull Cruz.

As for the odds, Pitbull is the heavy favorite of this matchup.

So this weekend already? How come we miss this fight? Although there are really a lot of good fights in August and September that we might have forgotten about it. In any case, Pitbull Cruz is the outstanding favorite so this could be an easy fight for him and might scored a knockout as we all know the style of Pitbull. Just go and pure aggressiveness and all out offense.

I'm just surprised though that Cruz is defending his interim WBC title. Why not go against Dalton Smith, the regular champion in WBC?

I guess it's very clear how corruption in boxing is, specially WBC with the Sulaiman's.

It looks to me this should be a very entertaining matchup. Pitbull Cruz is known for bringing nonstop pressure and aggression, so Bravo will have his hands full if Cruz is able to dictate the pace.

I’m also interested in what this fight could mean for Cruz’s next move. If he gets the win, a potential matchup with Ryan Garcia would definitely be something most fans would like to watch, me inclusive. Garcia vs. Pitbull would have plenty of storylines and fireworks, especially given their history.

Definitely one of the fights I’ll be keeping an eye on this weekend. Meanwhile, AI MONEY ENGINE is out now. Check my Signature

The match will be very interesting but my problem with it is that Isaac Cruz odd is too small which is just 1.15 on the gambling site that OP took the odd from. This is the reason I prefer matches that the two fighters will be good fighters that their odds will be close to or more 2. I do not think I can bet on such small odd.

That means he is the overwhelming odds favorite base on boxing punters. And it's easy because he is the champion and he had a lot of experience, big puncher as compare to Nestor Bravo who is not even rank in the top 10, but number 83.

So this is just obvious a get busy fight for Pitbull. But as far as a Ryan Garcia rematch, I don't think we might see it for now. Ryan is too busy with so many fights in the line like Teo Lopez or Haney.

Pitbull might be good to fight Shakur as they are both in the 140 lbs, and champions.

Nestor Bravo is what would be considered a no-hoper, which is why the odds are so lopsided. Dalton Smith is the current WBC Champion, although we know Shakur is the top guy in the division. He would still be champion if it wasn’t for having a dispute with the WBC. Cruz and Smith might be paper champions but I would still like to see them meet each other to see who is better and reduce the amount of titles.

Cruz should beat Bravo fairly convincingly, even if he is one dimensional and hasn’t looked that great since beating Rolly.

Nestor Bravo is not even near compared to the Pitbull. Bravo might have pretty good stats with 24W, 1L, and 17 of his games ended with KO. However, he never won against elite fighter in his resume, and this sounds like a cherry picking game by Pitbull if i have to be honest. No doubt Bravo is highly unfavored due to the how bad he is.

As for the result, i'm betting on Pitbull to win. His experience, power, and durability against a strong opponent in the past will help him a lot. He will be winning this by TKO at very least consider how bad his opponent. So he will batter bravo, then i hope he will have a fight against a better boxer like Zepeda.

It looks like a cherry-picked fight, alright, meant to get Pitbull Cruz to the top and become a legit champion again, checking Bravo's resume; except for Pedro Campa, all the other names are unknown or lower-level fighters, but this is a good opportunity also for Bravo to get to the top.

Pitbull can be upset, and we saw it in the Valenzuela match, where he was the heavy favourite and lost. I hope it will not happen again; I hope to see something new in Pitbull's style, not only as a brawler, but he should add technical movement to his skill.

The odds itself simply says Cruz is expected to win this easily. If Bravo, who I'm not really familiar with, is not the kind of technical boxer who can handle pressure, then he could suffer the same fate as the others Cruz has beaten.

Cruz is very aggressive, just like his nickname suggests, so I'm not really thinking of betting on him just to win. I'm more interested in Cruz to win by knockout, and based on my crystal ball, an early KO looks possible here.
