“His bark is far stronger than his bite,” Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz said of his opponent this weekend in Las Vegas, the always showy WBA lightweight titlist Rolando “Rolly” Ramiro. Sure enough, things have been tense in the leadup to Saturday’s co-main event on the Tim Tszyu-Sebastian Fundora pay per view throwdown. “I told him that he’s going to be the one bruised and battered,” said Cruz, “and that I was the one coming out ready to fight him.”
At Thursday’s pre-fight press conference, Cruz came across cool and confident, even in the smack talk that came with the face off. “I’m going to come out ready to fight from round one to round twelve,” Cruz said, “and if he thinks I’m going to just walk into something he couldn’t be more wrong because I am tactically and fundamentally ready.” The truth is that, although they will be fighting in the co-main event this weekend as opposed to the main event, Cruz-Romero is an interesting bout.
Isaac Cruz Ready to Face Gervonta "Tank" Davis
Isaac Cruz and Romero are both gearing up to face Gervonta “Tank” Davis, despite having lost to him in the past. Cruz is determined to prove himself as the top dog in the ring and secure a high-profile victory. "I’m going to show him who the true dog is," Cruz confidently stated. He emphasized the importance of his preparation and expressed his belief that hard work will ultimately lead him to success.
Cruz's eagerness to win big was evident as he declared, "I don’t just want to win, I want to punish the guy." While some of the pre-fight banter may be for show, both Cruz and Romero understand the gravity of the upcoming match. With a professional mindset, Cruz views boxing as a serious job that demands utmost focus.
