Good first round from Cruz, looking fluid and moving well, Casey a bit caught in the headlights right now

Landed strikes are even. I think this fight is near even, but feels like people are excited for all this movement.

good fight by Cruz, but he has to stay active. he's pretty old for the weight class, if he doesn't fight often I don't see him cracking T5

All the movement caught up to Casey and he tired in that last round, Cruz capitalizes and finishes the round strong with a takedown to cap it off. Cruz should win this 2 rounds to 1.

Cruz did a great job against a strong, durable competitor in Casey Kenney 29 - 28 Cruz for me 🤔🥊👊👍
