Cruz and Bravo has a lot of tension coming into the fight, though it was Cruz who was getting the better of the exchanges once the action got started, knocking him down in the very first round. But it got a bit sloppy at times, with referee Thomas Taylor having to constantly scold Bravo for holding a bit too much for his liking. Bravo was deducted a point on two occasions in the first four rounds alone for picking Pitbull up and slamming him to the canvas. Furthermore, the official calling the fight even warned him that he was close to getting disqualified. In round six, however, Cruz took it out of the referee and judges hands by tagging Bravo with a nasty left hook that dropped him to the canvas. Bravo never got back up to answer the 10 count, though we can’t look past the fact that Taylor seemed to count a bit faster than usual. Maybe he did have enough. Still, it was obvious Cruz was simply too much for Bravo, and even the commentators were accusing the challenger of simply looking for a way out of the fight with his dirty tactics. Afterward, Cruz called out WBC Welterweight champion, Ryan Garcia to a fight.
