Andy Cruz knocks out Antonio Moran in seventh round

Andy Cruz wasn’t flawless, but scored a great knockout win in the end.

Andy Cruz improved to 4-0 (2 KO) with a seventh round knockout win over veteran Antonio Moran.

The Cuban sensation, who won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, wasn’t flawless in the bout, as Moran (30-7-1, 21 KO) probably deserved to win a couple of rounds, and did seem to sting Cruz in the fifth round, which Cruz acknowledged after the fight.

“I said before the fight, it was never going to be easy for me,” Cruz said through an interpreter. “We know Mexican fighters are really, really tough, and this guy is really experienced. But this is not a ceiling for me, I can go higher from here.”
