Edgar Berlanga vs. Padraig McCrory | DAZN - 24 February 2024

[margaret thatcher]

Cruz looks huge

massive. i first thought he was at 140 and thought he looked big even then

the opponent looks tiny but has been at 135 for a while and even fought at welter

[margaret thatcher]

cruz teeing off. nothing in particular really hurting this guy, but a beat down now. could be stopped soon if he puts his foot down more although only a couple rounds left

[margaret thatcher]

mexican with his most active round offensively, didnt come close to winning the round but kept cruz off him more than he did in the 7th

[margaret thatcher]

cruz still winning easily but showing a but of the cuban syndrome of not really pushing things to another gear when a guy seems there for the taking

[margaret thatcher]

final round coming up

[margaret thatcher]

very effective from cruz but second half was a bit so so judging by super prospect standards. would've liked to see another gear and more explosiveness.

still, very good skills and defense while on the front foot, will obviously be hard to beat, especially if he starts putting his foot down more when opportunities arise

[margaret thatcher]

main event coming up

mccrory shows flashes of a dangerous offense, but just has the look of someone who is chinny to me. skinny long neck. not the most in depth analysis , but i have a hunch eddy finally gets another ko

[TheLeprechaun]

Poor performance from Giyasov but it's to be expected from him at this stage.

Cruz was in against a spoiler who didn't want to fight at all. Poor fight to watch and I'll be happy never seeing or hearing about that opponent again.

He's got a bit of Pricey about him alright.

Hopefully in R1 so we can get off to bed...

[TheLeprechaun]

I think McCrory is going to try to be on the run early but hopefully we get good action. Eddie Berlanga by KO for me

[margaret thatcher]

lol they let the fans too close to the entrance there, practically on top of the fighters

[margaret thatcher]

okay fight started

[margaret thatcher]

first round classic feeling out. berlanga hardly throwing , pad mayb doing just a tiny bit more. nothing of note lands from either.

[margaret thatcher]

very cagey still. a left hook from pad catchs berlanga being asleep on defence and makes him take a step back, though not hurt. hardly anything sustantial landing yet

[skanksta]

1-1-1

[margaret thatcher]

getting a bit dirty in the third, falling in and lots of holding and hitting. berlanga with an elbow too

[forcefraser]

First time I've seen McCrory. Don't rate him. He can take a shot, but doesn't throw enough

[margaret thatcher]

good 4th for berlanga, pad dont like the body shots

[forcefraser]

This not gonna last much longer

[margaret thatcher]

paddy shelling up now

[skanksta]

"Gowaaaay" !!??

[margaret thatcher]

that was defo a low blow tbf

[margaret thatcher]

paddy drops his hands and his nailed with a big right. dropped. up but corner throws in towel

[forcefraser]

Not impressed with McCrory at all. People were bigging him up as some big puncher with a real shot.

I don't get it, he has a massive opportunity against a known puncher and he hardly threw his right hand. Shame
