Thanks to you! :)
A total mismatch in terms of power with a very predictable outcome. Cuenca moves well in the ring making him in someway an elusive target but unfortunately he isn’t Locche since he went down in three different rounds. Technically better than Eduard even though that in this fight didn’t show up much but Eduard power is quite evidently.
Being Crawford the leader in this category I don’t see Eduard with chances at all of winning the title in this category any time soon.
Cuenca, with the greatest respect doesn’t look a 47-0 man.
But having said that Eduard clearly the bigger man and caries a punch. I hope he gets a profile fight he’s clearly a typical Ruskie, hard as F***.
