Isaac Cruz went toe-to-to with Lamont Roach in a fight of the year candidate that ended in a draw. Pitbull. After the fight, Isaac Cruz had plenty to say.
“I knew he would stand his ground and go toe-to-toe, but I know how to box too,†said Cruz. “People don’t realize I can box.â€
In round seven, Cruz’s attention to the body backfired as referee James Green deducted a crucial point for low blows. With the tide turning in his favor, Roach used his boxing acumen to land clean shots and force Cruz to smother much of his offense.
“I did my job,†said Cruz. “I did my work. The ref was on his side. The judges too. The crowd in San Antonio saw I won this fight…Absolutely I’d do a rematch. With a different referee who is not on his side. The referee took this fight from me.”

Lamont Roach can’t catch a break. In his fight against Isaac Cruz, he believed he did more than enough to pull of the victory, but the judges didn’t see it that way. This was his immediate reaction after the draw was announced,
“All I want is a fair shake,†said Roach. “I think I should have won a close victory. All I want is a fair shake. That’s it…I don’t know what I got to do. I don’t accept this at all. I clearly thought I won a close fight. I’m tired of this.â€
“I did my job,†said Cruz. “I did my work. The ref was on his side. The judges too. The crowd in San Antonio saw I won this fight…Absolutely I’d do a rematch. With a different referee who is not on his side. The referee took this fight from me.”

The “Pitbull” continues to eat! 🐶💥 Mexican superstar Isaac Cruz (29-3-1) returned to the ring on the Pacquiao vs. Barrios undercard and absolutely mauled late replacement Omar Salcido over 10 brutal rounds.
When his original opponent pulled out, they said Salcido was a dangerous unbeaten prospect. But to Pitbull? He was just food. Cruz walked him down from the opening bell, disregarding Salcido’s reach advantage and hammering the body with those signature hooks.
Fight Summary: For 9 rounds, it was a one-sided beatdown as Cruz cut off the ring and forced Salcido into a shell. But the real fireworks came in Round 10. Smelling blood in the water, Cruz unleashed a ferocious assault that forced a point deduction from a desperate Salcido before DROPPING him hard with a crushing right hand to close the show in style.
Pitbull returns to the ring December 6 to challenge Lamont Roach for the interim WBC WBC Super Lightweight title. Order #PitbullRoah NOW: https://pbcham.ps/PitbullRoachPPVcom
