The main event of the upcoming PBC PPV card will be a battle between two elite fighters with contrasting fighting styles, as former WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz is scheduled to face former WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Lamont Roach Jr.
In brief, the boxer who is able to lead and dictate the pace of the fight will win this long-awaited battle. The event will take place on Saturday evening, December 6, at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Cruz and Roach share the same idea of winning and then immediately moving on to the next huge fight. Ironically, both Cruz and Roach came into the spotlight after very close battles with Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
In December 2021, Pitbull Cruz made his debut in mainstream boxing, defeating Tank Davis for the WBA (regular) lightweight title. Cruz got off to a good start, pushing forward aggressively and landing some solid body shots.
Throughout the fight, Cruz was the aggressor, constantly pushing forward and forcing Davis to fight on his back foot. It was an extremely close fight, but at the end of the 12-round fight, Gervonta Davis was declared the winner.
Three years later, Isaac Cruz won his first world title, defeating Rolly Romero in the eighth round. In his first defense, Cruz lost the WBA super lightweight belt to Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela via split decision.
Cruz bounced back by defeating Angel Fierro by unanimous decision. In his next fight, Cruz defeated Omar Salcido to win the vacant WBC interim title. Now Isaac Cruz (28-3-1, 18 KO) is one step away from meeting a man with high skills and motivation.
In March 2025, the DMV competition took place in Brooklyn, during which Gervonta Davis from Baltimore defended the WBA world title against Lamont Roach from Washington. In the first round, Roach dictated the pace of the round, limiting Davis to only one punch.
Later in the eighth set, Lamont Roach caught Gervonta Davis off balance with a strenuous counter right hand. A controversial moment occurred in the ninth round when Roach landed a jab and Davis took a step back and began to kneel.
Instead of making the right decision and ruling a knockdown, the referee decided to give Davis a warning. It was a back and forth fight and at the end of the fight it was declared a draw.
Now Lamont Roach Jr (25-1-2, 10 KO) is ready to test himself in a different way. When he fought Davis, Roach faced a robust counterattack, but on December 6, Roach will face an aggressive fighter who stays on the offensive.
Lamont Roach is a talented counter puncher who has a high ring IQ, a solid jab, is excellent at using angles, has good punch placement and is defensively responsible. His opponent, Isaac Cruz, regularly uses high guard and applies constant pressure.
This fight will showcase Roach’s sharpness versus Cruz’s aggressiveness. Roach wants to sluggish the fight down, exploit his technical advantages and box from the outside.
His opponent, Pitbull Cruz, wants a close-quarters fight. Cruz wants to stay on the attack and fight at an accelerated pace, landing a series of punches.
Isaac Cruz vs Lamont Roach WBC for the interim super lightweight title is an intriguing fight due to the fact that both fighters have a style that can defeat the other. The question is, which boxer will be able to effectively control range and distance, execute his game plan correctly, and score a signature victory?
