Isaac Cruz vs. Lamont Roach – results and post-fight report
Lamont Roach suffered a second straight controversial stalemate on Saturday in San Antonio, with his fight against Isaac Cruz ending in a majority draw.
Roach, who controversially tied with Gervonta Davis in Marchhe built a delayed winning streak after surviving a third-round knockdown, but was ultimately dropped on the scorecards after a wild fight with Cruz at the Frost Bank Center.
Roach, who had moved up to another division after failing to secure a rematch with Davis, was stripped of his WBA super featherweight title when the opening bell rang.
Cruz, aptly nicknamed “Pitbull”, marched forward from the opening bell and landed head and body on the opening bell.
Roach (25-1-3, 10 KO) was drawn into the shootout and, while he had some success, was overwhelmed by Cruz’s constant pressure and aggressiveness.

The Mexican, who defeated Omar Salcido Gamez in July, made the decisive breakthrough in the third round, stunning Roach with a left hook that sent the 30-year-old back to the ropes.
Roach’s right hand touched the canvas and the referee awarded the knockdown in Cruz’s favor.
“Pitbull” had control until the mid-range, but “The Reaper” responded by landing a left hook to good effect in the sixth round.
Cruz (28-3-2, 18 KO) had a point deducted for a clinch in the seventh set, and his frustration continued to grow as Roach worked him over and kept missing.
Cruz seemed out of ideas, boxing on the back foot while Roach’s IQ and accuracy led him round after round.
“Pitbull” appeared to be on the verge of losing the 11th round, but he detonated two vicious left hooks, and the two engaged in a furious exchange until the bell.
Roach had his best performance in a tight final round, and many felt the Washington fighter had done enough to win.
However, it wasn’t as if the two judges scored it 113-113, which meant it was a 115-111 tie in Cruz’s favor.

Cruz defended his interim WBC super lightweight title, but there may be calls for a rematch due to the controversy.
“I just want a fair shake,” Roach said after the fight.
“This is some bulls***. I don’t know what to do. I’m tired of this shit.”
Cruz said he would agree to a rematch as long as it was officiated by a different referee.

“But with a different judge.
“Without a judge on his side.”
Foster dominates Fulton
O’Shaquie Foster defeated and outclassed Stephen Fulton to win the WBC interim lightweight title by unanimous decision.
The pair were scheduled to fight for Foster’s WBC super featherweight crown, but Fulton, the current WBC featherweight champion, was two pounds over the 130-pound limit at Friday’s weigh-in.
Fulton (23-2, 8 KO) simply had no answer to the question about Foster’s precision and strength and constantly tried to keep the home favorite at bay.
Fulton’s work looked desperate as he tried to get inside in the last few rounds in an attempt to change the vigorous, but Foster (24-3, 12 KO) was able to take him down with a razor-sharp jab and the result was unmistakable and the fight went on the scorecards.
All three judges scored the fight in Foster’s favor with scores of 117-111, 118-110 and 119-109, confirming his dominance.
It is unclear whether “Shock” will return to super featherweight or whether he will now fight at lightweight.
Lara dismisses Gonzalez
Erislandy Lara defended his WBA middleweight world title, defeating Johan Gonzalez twice en route to a comfortable points victory.
Lara (32-3-3, 19 KO) was scheduled to face unified champion Janibek Alimkhanuly, but the fight was canceled on Tuesday after Janibek tested positive for the banned substance meldonium in a VADA test.
The 42-year-old champion was in good shape to start the evening after defeating Gonzalez (36-5, 34 KO) in the first round.
However, after the Venezuelan defeated the count, the two worked challenging for almost the entire fight, canceling each other out in a fight that proved to be unforgettable.
However, Lara caused late-match drama by knocking down Gonzalez again in the final seconds of the final round.
The 34-year-old beat the counter and reached the final bell, where the score reflected Lara’s dominance.
All three judges scored the fight in Lara’s favor with scores of 118-108, 119-107 and 120-106.
Ramos Jr. is getting closer to the world title
Jesus Ramos Jr came close to a world middleweight title shot after defeating Shane Mosley Jr.
Ramos Jr (24-1, 19 KO) and Mosley Jr (22-5, 12 KO) fought side by side for 12 rounds, although Ramos Jr was better and two scores at 117-111 and another at 116-112 confirmed his dominance.
The 24-year-old American secured the interim WBC title and took pole position to fight WBC champion Carlos Adames.

Martin is back to winning ways
Frank Martin made a spectacular return to winning ways, beating Rances Barthelemy in the fourth round.
Martin (19-1, 13 KO), after a devastating knockout defeat to Gervonta Davis last June, gained weight, and the 30-year-old made his presence felt in the division with his finishing.
“The Ghost” knocked down Barthelemy (30-4-1, 15 KO) in the fourth round, and although the Cuban got up, another left hand later in the round knocked him to his knees.
.@TheGhost_2016 END! AND
perfect KO in his first fight in the super lightweight category! #MartinBarthelemy

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
See this post on Instagram
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
