Lamont Roach was surprised by the saying that supporters considered his fight against the WBC -Tuss -Engineer Light Welterweight Champion Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz as a ’50-50 `one for December 6 in the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Earlier this year, Roach (25-1-2, 10 COs) did not get credit for his 12-round against Gervonta Davis. Fans were not impressed by the lack of power he showed. It was not the golden standard for quality performances that most fans in the US enjoy watching. So it is not surprising that many people prefer the WBC-TUs-Engineer 140-Pond Champion ‘Pitbull’ Cruz (28-3-1, 18 COs) to win.
Roach shoots back on the doubters
“If people see it as a 50-50 fight, that’s fine. I don’t want to hear excuses if I deliver a masterful performance”Say Lamont Roach to Fighting typeRespond to the fact that fans believe that his fight against the WBC-TUs-Light Welterweight Champion Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz is a ’50-50 match ‘for December 6.
Shakur 2.0 without the bite
What does Roach expect? He can’t punch, and his fighting style is like a slower version of Shakur Stevenson. He is Shakur 2.0. Why would fans expect Roach to beat a high-powered offensive dynamo like Pitbull Cruz with that style?
Lamont’s lack of power and defensive first approach does not translate to the division 140 or even the 135 pound division if they go against the wolves.
It is understandable that many fans believe that ‘Pitbull’ Cruz will win because they watched Roach’s fighting against Gervonta Davis, Jamel Herring and Hector Luis Garcia. Some think Roach has lost all three fights. I also lost him.
If you go through Roach’s performances in those three fights, which is easily the best guys he fought during his 11-year-old pro career, it makes sense to benefit Cruz to beat him. He has the excellent offense, power and output.
Pitbull is also the better inside fighter, which is essential because Roach often uses wrestling in that environment. With Cruz’s short arms, he will take advantage of Roach’s efforts to fight on the inside.
“He did well against Tank, and I did well against Tank. But I think styles make fights, and I think my and Pitbull’s style will collide a big fight on December 6. We got some big stars here. I’m not going to lie, but one of them is me, “Roach says, responding that people say he is” one of the biggest stars in America “.
Roach’s bloated ‘star’ -is
Roach is not one of the “Stars ”” In the US, he was a complete unknown before Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis threw him a leg by choosing him from the uncertainty of the Super Featherweight section to give him a world title at 135. He is just a man who got a world title he didn’t earn. Roach had to fight #1 WBA Floyd Schofield to earn a title shot against Tank Davis.
Their fight on March 1 ends in a 12 round, and Roach keeps it, which makes it sound like he’s being victimized, rather than not doing enough to win. If he had a little doll in his push, the judge would have given him the victory.
There was no power at all. The only thing Roach had for him in the fight was the size and the fact that he kept coming forward and throwing arms.
