Lamont Roach is excited about his fight this Saturday against WBC interim light welterweight champion Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz. He has the opportunity to face Cruz (28-3-1, 18 KOs) after not being able to get the win against Gervonta Davis earlier this year on March 1st.
Roach (25-1-2, 10 KOs) says he likes the idea of ​​fighting ‘Pitbull’ Cruz because he’s someone he doesn’t have to go looking for. Cruz will come to him all the time, looking for snails. Roach is not a big puncher, but likes to fight anyway.
This almost got him into trouble against Hector Luis Garcia in their fight in 2023. Roach came through with a 12-round split decision. ‘Pitbull’ Cruz is a better puncher than Garcia, and it wouldn’t be a shock if he wins on Saturday. Right now, Lamont believes he can walk on water after fighting Gervonta Davis to a 12-round draw. But he might find out that Cruz is even tougher because he doesn’t quit like Tank.

“I’m excited to get in the ring with ‘Pitbull’. I’m the perfect dance partner for him. That’s someone I don’t have to look for. Someone who’s going to swing for the fences,” said Lamont Roach Fight Hub TV about his fight this Saturday, December 6, against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz.
“What better way to end the year than with a bang. I think ‘Pitbull’ is great at what he does. He lives by the sword, and he dies by the sword. He’s kind of perfected his craft. Even though he has one craft, he’s perfected it, and it works well for him,” says Roach.
