This will be the second incursion of La Cruz in these fights, after having participated in the evening that served as the premiere of the fighters affiliated with the Cuban Boxing Federation (FCB) in the professional environment, held at the end of last May.
So, the five-time world champion just needed two of the six agreed rounds to fast-track Colombian Deivis Cásseres, who barely showed the resources to provide greater emotions to the public present in the Mexican city of Aguscalientes.
In that city, the six fighters of the Domadores de Cuba franchise swept their opponents, and five of them did not need to reach the agreed limit for each fight, among them Yoenlis Hernández, who was much superior then to the local Juan Carlos Raygosa.
According to reports, the fight based in the city of Urupuan will have a maximum of eight rounds, and Santoyo will be a more careful opponent for the Cuban considering his experience in this type of boxing. In his file he accumulates 15 fights, of which he has been successful on 13 occasions, one of them through the fast track, he points out Hit.
It is “a difficult rival”, according to the opinion given to the specialized media by Gerardo Saldívar, president of Golden Ring, a company that manages the presence in the rented pugilism of the fighters of the Island who remain under the protection of the FCB.
Since the Cuban Boxing Federation (FCB) agreed with this Mexican company for the representation of the Island’s boxers in the professional circuitsAlmost a dozen Cuban fighters have debuted in the rented sport.
The most recent appearance on professional circuits by a Cuban linked to FCB was starred last Friday by Billy Rodríguez, who categorically beat local Miguel Ángel Luna in his debut on a billboard held in the city of La Paz, Mexico.
However, shortly after finishing off his rival in just two of the six rounds scheduled for the fight in the 108-kilogram division, Rodríguez decided not to return to the Islandpresumably to continue his professional career in the United States.
Earlier, world bronze medalist Osvel Caballero, the titleholder at that level, Lázaro Álvarez, and Tokyo 2020 Olympic monarch Roniel Iglesias had achieved their second wins in so-called rented boxing, all against rivals of little renown.
