Live Results: Andy Cruz vs. Raymond Muratalla

Khalil Coe picked up a majority decision win over Jesse Hart on Saturday night in Las Vegas, though the result was met with skepticism from much of the crowd.

The ten round light heavyweight bout played out at a slow pace, with Hart often appearing to do the clearer work. He stayed active, landed the more noticeable shots, and kept the pressure on, even as the fight wore on. Coe, who came in significantly heavier after missing weight, fought cautiously and rarely pressed his advantage.

The scores were 94-94, 95-93, and 96-92.

There were no knockdowns and few decisive moments. Hart closed rounds with purpose, while Coe spent long stretches circling and waiting, including in the final round when urgency was needed.

When the decision went Coe’s way, the reaction inside the arena reflected how close and contentious the fight felt. Coe gets the win on the record, but it was Hart who looked like the busier fighter over ten rounds.

Israil Madrimov went the full ten rounds Saturday night, taking a unanimous decision over Luis David Salazar on the DAZN undercard in Las Vegas.

The judges scored it 99 91 across the board.

Madrimov boxed in control for much of the fight, using his jab and right hand to manage the rounds while pacing himself after a long absence. Salazar proved durable and competitive, staying engaged and landing counters that kept the fight physical.

Late drama arrived in the final round, when Madrimov rocked Salazar with heavy right hands and pressed for a stoppage. Salazar absorbed the punishment and made it to the bell, while Madrimov finished marked up around the left eye.

It was a clear win on the cards, but one that looked focused on rounds and recovery rather than flash.

Omari Jones picked up another win Saturday night in Las Vegas, but the junior middleweight bout did not unfold the way it was expected to.

The 23 year old Olympic bronze medalist defeated Jerome Baxter by six round unanimous decision on the DAZN undercard, with all three judges scoring it 60 53. Jones scored an early knockdown and spent most of the fight in control, though the later rounds told a more uneven story.

Jones made a sharp start in the opening round. He hurt Baxter with a left hook and followed moments later with a stiff jab that dropped him. Baxter was clearly shaken but managed to beat the count and survive the round despite absorbing heavy shots.

After the knockdown, Jones settled into a measured approach. In the second and third rounds, he worked behind the jab and picked off Baxter with clean right hands and left hooks, controlling distance and tempo. Baxter struggled to apply consistent pressure and spent much of that stretch reacting rather than initiating.

Jones continued landing cleanly in the fourth, timing Baxter with straight shots and brief combinations. On paper, the fight appeared to be moving steadily toward a late stoppage.

Instead, the final two rounds slowed. Baxter pressed forward more aggressively and landed several solid punches that forced Jones to reset. Jones remained defensively responsible but became increasingly focused on movement and avoidance, tying up inside and choosing not to take risks.

Baxter stayed upright to the final bell, absorbing punishment but refusing to fold. Jones never lost control of the fight, yet the urgency seen in the first round did not return.

Jones improved his record to 5 0 with four knockouts. The win was clear, but the performance landed somewhere between control and caution, offering fewer answers than expected for a bout meant to showcase his progress.

Zaquin Moses moved to 6 0 on Saturday night in Las Vegas, outpointing Leandro Damian Medina over six rounds on the DAZN undercard headlined by Raymond Muratalla vs Andy Cruz.

The official scores were 60 53 on all three cards, a reflection of how consistently Moses controlled the fight rather than any single decisive moment.

From the opening round, Moses boxed at range and kept the bout on his terms. Fighting out of the southpaw stance, he used a steady jab and straight left hands to manage distance and discourage Medina from settling. His footwork was clean and deliberate, with small steps back and lateral movement that reset the action whenever Medina tried to apply pressure.

Medina pressed forward throughout the contest and showed willingness to engage, but clean openings were difficult to find. Most of his offense came in short bursts before Moses either slid out of range or tied him up. Extended exchanges were rare, and the rhythm of the fight remained largely unchanged from round to round.

A brief point of confusion arrived in the fourth, when Moses was awarded a knockdown after Medina went to the canvas. The sequence appeared to involve Moses pulling Medina down rather than landing a scoring punch, and replays suggested the call was a mistake.

The bout unfolded at a measured pace. Moses’ emphasis on movement and control limited risk but also limited drama. There was little power on display, and frequent clinching further slowed the action.

Moses boxed his way to a clear decision, though the performance was more about maintaining control than making a statement.

Cruz enters as the decorated amateur champion now testing himself at professional championship level. Muratalla holds the belt but faces questions about whether he can stop a southpaw with Cruz’s pedigree.

The lightweight division lacks consensus at the top. This fight determines whether Muratalla can defend his position or if Cruz forces a reshuffling. The Cuban southpaw brings Olympic gold and amateur dominance but remains untested in fights where fatigue and pressure accumulate. Muratalla has knocked out contenders but never faced a fighter with Cruz’s technical foundation.

Cruz must prove his style translates over twelve rounds under title fight intensity. Muratalla needs to break down a defensive specialist without overcommitting. The champion wants bigger fights, but Cruz represents the type of technical challenge that exposes weaknesses.

Cruz stated he was born for these moments. Muratalla claims he feels great and wants to move past this defense toward bigger names. Both understand the division opens up for the winner.
