Andycruz Vs. Hironori Mishiro: Bozy Ennis breaks the IBF lightweight eliminator tonight
Trainer Derek “Bosey” Ennis says he’s interested in Andy Cruz facing Keyshawn Davis, predicting Andy will defeat him. It was the fifth consecutive victory over Cuban talent Keyshaun, which would have made him a perfect 5-0.
Since becoming a professional in 2023, Bosey has trained the 2020 Olympic gold medalist and knows the types of skills he has worked with over two years. Keyshaun shows no interest in fighting Cruz. It is also unlikely that Turki Aralsif will face a fight without showing interest in fundraising. Davis doesn’t want to lose again and ruin his “businessman” career path.
Cruz vs Mishiro tonight
Tonight, Cruz (5-0, 2 Kos) is fighting for the 12-round IBF lightweight title Eliminator
Palace of Richardson Hitchens v. George Cambosos Jr. Card (17-1-1, 6 KOS) at the theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The event will be broadcast I live in Dazen 8pm (ET/5:00pm pt).
“They fought four times amateurs, so I think it’s a good fight. There’s nothing wrong with him when it comes to him and Andy Fighting,” trainer Derek “Bosey” Ennis said. fighthype When asked about his interest in the battle between Andy Cruz and Keyshaun Davis. “We want that fight. It’s nothing personal.”
Keyshaun is likely to move to 147 almost immediately, so Cruz must quickly rise to 140 for that fight. He is already big enough to fight at welterweight, and that’s where the money fight is for him. 140 is difficult for Keyshaun to make and he is not going to agree to fight him, so he can’t get a fight with Theofimo Lopez. There isn’t enough money for that matchup.
“Keyshaun has a bit of a punch, but he’s not. He doesn’t fight the same way he fought amateur,” Bosey said. “Andy, don’t fight the same thing. He’s defensively smart and smooth. I think it’s going to be a beautiful battle, but I think we’ll win,” Bosey said of his belief that Cruz will defeat Keyshaun.
In Davis’s final few fights, he looked more like a puncher than ever before, but that’s because he had made the 135 pound division bigger. After Keyshawn rehydrated for his fight with Densys Berinchyk, Gusatov Lemos and Miguel Madueno, he looked like he weighed around 160. He was much bigger than them.
With Keyshawn moving up to 140, the advantage of his size is not that great. It’ll still be there, but it’s not as dramatic as it used to be. He should fight at 147, but he will have a tough time as he has to deal with a talented fighter jet close to his size. Fighters such as Shakhram Giyasov, Eimantas Stanionis and Rolady ‘Rolly’ Romero drilled holes in him. If he fought at 147, he could not avoid them indefinitely. Because they are some of the main players.
Predictions for Cruz vs. Mishiro
“His opponent (Misilo Island) has a nice jab. Plus, he can punch,” Ennis said of Cruz’s opponent, Misilo, tonight. “That’s the only thing I can see. Other than that, he’ll win this battle. It should be a good fight. You can’t take anything from it. Nothing can happen in boxing.
One of the big problems with tonight’s fight is that Motomiya Ijima Nishino has never fought a world-class opponent before. He is 30 years old and is a professional for eight years, but has never fought anyone close to a top tier candidate before. IBF has a reason to give Misilo a lightweight ranking of fifth place, but it’s not fighting the talent and title eliminator like Cruz.
Tonight, we will see it when he runs out of the ring quickly in a one-sided fight. Cruz might have Mishiro stroll tonight as he’s not a big knockout artist, but as long as it continues, it will probably be one-sided.
