The official Fundora vs. Cruz prediction is that Fundora will retain her world title and beat the former US National Champion by unanimous decision. The physical advantages that Fundora has over Cruz are far too much to bet against.
Christina Cruz’s stats in the amateur ranks are very impressive, but professional boxing is a much different beast. Her point-fighting style won’t work as well against a woman with a big reach and height advantage fighting behind a nasty jab.
The long front hand of Fundora is used very well, and she is only 21 years old. Don’t count Cruz out of this one because she will show up in shape and ready to fight hard for all 10 rounds, but she has her work cut out for her.
This is a very competitive fight and the betting odds seem kind of confusing, to be honest. Since Fundora is the A-side of the promotion and has the most potential to become a star in the sport, a bet for a DRAW in this one wouldn’t be bad. Throwing extra change on +3000 odds is always worth it. If Cruz shocks the world and out-boxes Fundora, a draw is very much in the cards as a decision.
