This is the guy Enzo was going to fight in December but Cruzat suffered a knee injury and a limited South African was brought in instead.

Is this Cruzat any good, or will it be another 1 round job?

He's won his last 15 fights and holds something called the IBA title, which he's defended four times. But he's fought only once since 2002 and at 35, is hardly the freshest opponent in the world.
His best days seem to have come at middleweight when he was based in America in the 90's.

Yeah. The 15-fight winning streak looks good for Cruzat, but in reality he's an old inactive fighter.

But hold on, doesn't he hold the IBA cruiser weight title? Does this mean Enzo will be a unified champ? Seriously though, the 15 fight winning streak is probably the reason they chose this opponent. People will see his record and think of him as a good test, despite the fact he hasn't fought that much in the past two years.

I've been looking into Cruzat's credentials and he was stripped of his IBA title for, guess what?
Inactivity.

Suprise suprise. Just as well really, Warren would probably make out that Enzo really was a unified champ anyway. And most of the casual fans out there would believe it as well!
