Reigning Olympic lightweight champion Andy Cruz steps into the professional ranks for the first time tonight, taking on Juan Carlos Burgos for the vacant IBF international title.
Cruz's pedigree suggests he could become a contender at 135lbs in short order, but he must first take care of business in his maiden pro bout. Burgos is coming off a loss to Keyshawn Davis late last year and needs a victory to get back on track.
