BELÉM, PA. (Junho 7, 2017) – Invicto Miguel Cruz (15-0, 11 KOs) e uma vez batido Alex Martin (13-1, 5 KOs) will meet in a 10-round welterweight rematch of their January clash on Terça-feira, Junho 27 no evento principal de Premier Boxe dos Campeões TERÇA TOE-de-toe em FS1 e Boxe dos Campeões on FOX Deportes from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pa.

Cruz and Martin first clashed on a PBC card this January, with both men looking to bolster their perfect records at the time. It was a matchup featuring two distinct styles as the lankier orthodox Cruz favored using power punches throughout the fight while the southpaw Martin tried to box and ride his speed and jab to victory. The young welterweights delivered consistent exciting exchanges before the decision went to the judges, who delivered a split decision with one judging scoring the fight for Martin and two favoring the work of Cruz.

“I won the first fight between us and I’m here to prove that,” disse Cruz. “I will be victorious again and this time everyone will be able to do it. I’m going to get the win in even more convincing fashion. I’m looking forward to this fight and I’m not planning on letting it go the distance.”

“This fight will not go the distance,” disse Martin. “It will end early. He is not as good as his record says. Everyone who has seen the first fight knows it was a bad decision. I think even he knows he lost. I will make a more emphatic statement this fight. I will do in this fight what I should have done last night.”
