Saturday, December 6, Frost Bank Center, San Antonio. Pitbull Cruz and Lamont Roach Jr are chucking hands for the WBC interim super lightweight strap, streaming on Prime Video PPV and PPV.com.
Cruz (28-3-1, 18 KOs) has been snarling since losing his WBA belt to Jose Valenzuela, and he’s smashed out two wins to steady the ship. Last time out he strolled past Omar Salcido Gamez like it was a light session. Roach (25-1-2, 10 KOs), meanwhile, is still calling himself a WBA super featherweight champion even though he dragged himself up to fight Gervonta Davis and walked away with a draw people still mock. With that rematch dead in the water, he’s jumped divisions again to deal with Cruz. Brave? Or reckless? Depends who you ask.
Why the Bookies Fancy Roach… and Why Some Insiders Don’t Buy It
DraftKings has Roach sitting as a -235 favourite. Cruz is the +180 dog. That tells you the oddsmakers think Roach’s tidy boxing and patience can cool off Pitbull’s pressure. But plenty inside the gyms aren’t convinced Roach can handle 12 rounds of Cruz walking him down like a lunatic. New division, new problems.

‘Stealing the show’ is what Ramos said? Come on bro, you still green! Mosley Jr been around longer and knows how to fight smart not just wild punches.
Lara should’ve retired already man, like what’s he proving? He’s old and slow now, Janibek bout to run circles around him and it ain’t even gonna be close 🥱
People sleepin on Ramos but I think he going shock everybody. Mosley Jr talk a good game but Ramos is young and strong and not here to play games.
Man Fulton talking big but I don’t think he ready for Foster. Foster hungry and it’s his home turf too, that’s gonna mess with Fulton’s head for sure.
Yup, Fulton already lost to Inoue, so now he overcompensating with all this tough talk. Foster ain’t playing, he gon’ bring that Texas fire 🔥
Nah I think Fulton got more skill tho. Just cause he quiet don’t mean he scared or nothing, sometimes the quiet ones hit harder 😤
I don’t see how people think Janibek is just gonna walk through Lara like that. Just cause he’s younger don’t mean he better. Lara got experience and that still count.
Exactly! Folks acting like age means you can’t box no more. Lara been in this game too long to be disrespected like that. Janibek gon’ learn the hard way 💯
