Roach Eyes 140 Pound takeover to Pitbull Cruz Fight

Lamont Roach predicts he is a “Great statement” While the WBC Interimal Lights Welterweight Champion Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz deprived on December 6 in their main liner Amazon Prime Ppv.

Roach (25-1-2, 10 costs) says his victory over Cruz (28-3-1, 18 COs) will result in the other top fighters wanting to fight against him at 140. Even if they do not, he says he can use the WBC -Tussentage title to force a fight against the winner of the Subriel Matias against Dalton Smith Clash.

From 130 to 140: chase bigger battles

Roach did not say whether he was going to hover under the divisions of 140, 135 and 130 pounds and were trying to pay the fight the most. He still has the WBA Super Featherweight title, which he did not defend within 16 months. It is realistic to assume that the WBA will soon strip due to the fact that he has abandoned its title.

Cruz against Roach is standing in the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. There is no word about the price for yet Prime video PPV, but it is likely to amount to about $ 74.99. For many fans, they will not be happy to pay the kind of price to watch Cruz defend its interim WBC Light Welterweight title. It is not even a complete belt, and Roach is not arranged at 140 or 135.

“It will be a wonderful statement. Obviously, they look at me: ‘Oh, he’s a smaller guy who arrives. “So, they may be eager to fight against me,” Lamont Roach said during today’s press conferenceTalk about how the fighters in the 140 pound division will look at him at his collision against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz.

Pitbull’s relentless pressure

If Cruz applies the kind of pressure he did in his fight against Omar Salcido. Angel Fierero and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, he will defeat Roach. He hits too hard and never stops to attack. This is the type of fighters Roach is struggling with.

“If I win this battle on December 6, I will be in line with WBC champion Subriel Matias, and the other champions will look at me like,” Hey, maybe we can fight against Lamont Roach if we have nothing in line. “I want to prove that I’m one of the best fighters in the world,” says Roach.

In Roach’s last fight against Tank Davis, he didn’t look like one of “the best fighters in the world.” He looked like a finesse fighter without power, which benefited from Tank’s low punch output to get a draw. Davis landed the much harder, cleaner shots throughout the fight. What prevented him from winning is that he did not throw the way he needed.

Gervonta’s success during his career is attributed to his ability to strike opponents with his powerful blows. He never has to pull off his opposition with an accumulation of bumps. Against Roach he couldn’t take him out with his best shots, but he had a lot of country. Roach hangs in there because of his punch resistance and has done enough to get a draw.
