Box results: The Olympic gold medalist Andy Cruz stops Hirorori Mishiro at 5. Kolo, Progress in a light eliminator
June 15, 2025
2020. Olympic Gold Medalist Andi Cruz (6-0, 3 Kos) was superbly on Saturday night (17-2-1, 6 Kos) five-round technical knockout in the eliminal of IBF light titles in the theater in Madison Square Garden in New York. Cruz used his power pocket during the fight to mark Mishiro.
In the third round, Cruz opened with right arms, he double down Mishiro. Another crank came in the last seconds of the third. If not, surely, Cuban talent would surely finish it.
Cruz took the fourth round, mostly softened, moving and occasionally landed right handed. Fifth, Andy went after Mishiro, a tricoy combination that raised it, forcing the judge, was forced to enter and stop the competition. The weather was at 1:13 lap.
Mishiro was trying to adapt and show more aggression in circles four and five, but it didn’t work. You could say that he was given instructions at his corner to move on the attack, because Cruz scored him in the first three rounds. Failed.
Cruz’s performance was best so far on tonight’s card. It was MasterClass, showing the skills that the other fighters on the card were able to dream of having them.
By winning, Cruz is now a mandatory challenge for the IBF Lagan Champion Raimond Muratall. That fight will be ordered soon, and it will be interesting to see Muratalla’s promoters at a superb attempt to delay this fight. I can’t excite that their fighter Muratalla defends against the phenomena like Andy Cruz, because it is at another level in terms of ability.
Muratalla is a big stroke, but he is one-dimensional and struggling as a robot. Moreover, struggles to one speed and does not increase the pace of his fights. He could have been flooded as Mishiro was tonight.
