Battle for redemption and a novel title
For both fighters, this competition is a chance to go beyond the shadow of a man with whom they are most connected: “Tank” Davis.
Cruz (28-3-1, 18 Kos), a Mexican star, strengthened his status of a legitimate threat when he pushed Davis to a lean razor, a weighty unanimous decision in December 2021. Cruz was the first warrior who took Davis in full distance in the years, winning him the pseudonym “Pitbull” fans, especially in Texas. Now, recently winning the transient WBC title of 140-Funt, he defends him in the main event.
Roach (25-1-2, 10 KO), the prevailing world champion of the Super Feather WBA, enters the fight with his own controversial draw with Davis in March, as a result of many observers should be in favor of Roach. Hoping for a rematch against Davis, now outside the table because of the soon master Master Former to face Jake Paul, Roach immediately skips a slight division to immediately challenge the title in Super Lightweight.
Connections of the “tank”: common enemy Cruz and Roach
The unique narrative of this fight is undeniable: it was two boxers who gave Gervont Davis their most complicated nights finally directed to each other.
Cruz is an aggressive, inexorable pressure warrior, whose style forces opponents to uncomfortable exchanges. Roach is a technically talented anti -tailorrome, whose skillful defense and general of the ring surprised Davis in their March duel. The winner will earn more than a transient WBC belt; They will gain final rights to brag as a man who emerged the most from the Davis saga, preparing for a great fight with the highest name in a lively unit of 140 pounds.
Significant weight for roach
In the case of Lamont Roach, the decision to jump over two weight classes with the Super Feather Wweight (130 pounds) is a calculated risk. While he proved its durability and class at 135 pounds against Davis, Junior Division of the welterweight (140 pounds) is a significant degree of power.
However, going up the smaller, though incredibly powerful, puncher, such as Cruz, allows Roach to apply their advantages of height and range (Roach stands 5’7 ″ with a range of 69 ″, compared to a range of 5’4 ″ and 63 ″). Roach must rely on its excellent IQ boxing to distract Cruz’s pressure, while Cruz will be aimed at closing the distance and testing the roaca chin in a larger weight class.
