Sandor Martin Favors Ryan Garcia Against Isaac Cruz

Martin believes Cruz could drop Ryan, but reaching him would be the harder part. Cruz would have to cross a taller opponent’s punching range repeatedly, making the quality of his entries more important than simply maintaining pressure.

Cruz is one of the options Ryan is considering for his next fight in December, although Ryan has yet to choose an opponent. Ryan’s drawing power gives him greater control over that decision, leaving Cruz waiting to see whether the opportunity materializes.

“Pitbull’s knockout power, despite him being a powerful puncher, decreased at 140,” Martin said in to Luis Parra. “Can a punch from Pitbull put Ryan Garcia on the canvas? I think so. Now, will he have the tools to land that punch? We have to see it in the ring. I think Ryan Garcia starts as the favorite because of his physical advantage, but Pitbull has his chances.”
