Referee rocked a point from Rolly in rd 5 for holding. Cruz taking it to him with massive pressure and a lot of hooks. #boxing #RollyPitbull #PBConPrime
Rolly gets a point deducted in a close 5th round for holding. Rolly with a Judo background, clinching that arm in the clinch. Cruz finishes the final 10 strong, could be a pivotal 10-8 round for Cruz. #RollyPitbull
Rolly is landing decent uppercuts and body work, but Cruz still doing the largely better work. He's got Rolly moving a lot and pot shotting.
Rolly is timing Cruz now & landing right hands, but you just get the sense Cruz can knock him out at any point.
Cruz getting the better of the exchanges because his chin is tucked better, he keeps his hands up and his punches are more compact. 20-18 Cruz. #RollyPitbull #Boxing
